5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful compilation, March 26, 2001

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: As Time Goes By: Best Of Little Feat (Audio CD)

I cannot believe how underrated this band has become in recent years. During the 1970s, particularly in the period covering SAILIN' SHOES to TIME LOVES A HERO, these men were gods. The penultimate album in that sequence, THE LAST RECORD ALBUM, was rightly regarded as a masterpiece, and a couple of others were not far behind in artistic excellence.

So why has Warner neglected the band's back-catalogue in recent years, save for the box-set? Maybe it would detract from the post-George band's more recent output. But it's time for a worldwide release of a double CD compilation of the same quality as Steely Dan's SHOWBIZ KIDS.

For the time being, this is the only compilation available. Originally available in 1986 as just a 12-track, 38-minute CD (the Feats always made short records!), the collection has been extended to a more appropriate CD length. I cannot fault the selection as an introduction to the band. This, like all the band's 70s albums, was well remastered by Lee Herschberg in the mid-80s. (He must have been a busy man at the time, doing all the Doobies' LPs as well.)

When the band released DIXIE CHICKEN in 1973, it was almost universally ignored. Its classic status was only appreciated years later. Now it appears that the band's 70s portfolio is disappearing back into utterly undeserved obscurity. The band's excellence -- in particular, Lowell George's soulful voice, slide guitar and song-writing, coupled with Bill Payne's versatile piano -- will have to remain a secret known only to their many fans across the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful compilation of the best of the Feat!, August 12, 1999

For little Feat fans, this is a must have for your collection. The CD includes material from the Let It Roll album, that was released after Lowell George's untimely death.

4.0 out of 5 stars Little Feat = Big Music, June 8, 2002

My first Little Feat album was Time Loves A Hero in 1977. I started to backtrack. The first 3 albums are great. Waiting for Columbus is the 2nd best live album of all time after The Band's 'Rock Of Ages'. The Lowell George period of Little Feat is amazing. My 2nd favourite band of all time after The Band.
