Sailin' Shoes demonstrates just how briskly Little Feat was developing in their early 1970s formative years. A pronounced step up from the Southern California quartet's critically praised 1971 debut, it's not as fully realized as the Feat's 1973 zenith, Dixie Chicken. But it's not far behind, and that's saying something. The final recording made by the original quartet (the band swelled to six members after founding bassist and Mothers of Invention alumni Roy Estrada split), Little Feat circa 1972 is a lean, energetic outfit. "Cold, Cold, Cold," "Tripe Face Boogie," "Apolitical Blues," and "Teenage Nervous Breakdown" are blunter rockers than what would follow. Lowell George's title track and Bill Payne's "Got No Shadow" and "Cat Fever," meanwhile, presage the more limber direction the group was headed. --Steven Stolder

Feat's best

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2019

For some reason there is a portion of staunchly loved music from my (early/mid-seventies college days at LSU coming back home to roost in my mind recently. Specifically, the first four Feat albums, and certain of Ry Cooder’s early records. There is an unmistakable kinship between Ry (whom some reviewers here may recall played slide guitar on Feat’s first album due to a hand injury Lowell had experienced at the time) and Lowell George himself, who on these early records seems a Ry Cooder guitar/Captain Beefheart vocal hybrid. Of the Feat albums, Sailin Shoes especially is the one that separates itself. IMHP, Feat never again achieved the uninterrupted studio brilliance exhibited from start to finish on this particular recording. To the ears of the uninitiated, the record can seem deceptively sloppy and unrehearsed, but in reality is anything but, and therein lies it's brilliance. I’ve played in a band long enough now to realize just how tight the playing on this record truly is, and this is something that does not come without much rehearsal. The telepathic interplay between Estrada on bass and Hayward on drums is almost unprecedented in rock music, and when you listen to a song like ‘Apolitical Blues’ for instance, there is a wonderful spontaneity to Lowell’s vocal performance here. He suddenly converts his voice from Howlin’ Wolf mode, jumping to falsetto to sing the words ‘John Wayne’, and then immediately drops back down to Howlin' Wolf mode for ‘I just don’t wanna take no calls, NO CALLS'. Not an easy, nor studied vocal mannerism. As well, the linguistic gymnastics Lowell exhibits on Teenage Nervous Breakdown could tongue-tie the most astute jazz scat vocalist. Whew! The two Ry Cooder records of particular interest are Paradise and Lunch; and Chicken Skin Music. Roots music of the highest order! Too many great guitar licks to mention. Yet, he simplifies the language enough to make it somehow seem achievable. Man, I am digging these old records and listening to them with new ears. They have all endured the test of time.

A big step above the debut album. A very rich album with many different styles thrown into a melting pot of Southern sound.

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2010

Litt'e Feat's debut album, while still pretty good, failed to sell well or crack the charts. Nowadays, that would be typical, but if you were signed to a big label like Warner Bros. and didn't sell well in 1971, this was bad news indeed. Luckily, 1972's Sailing Shoes managed to give the band some recognition, along with it being a huge improvement over the previous album. The band toned down the balladering and weirdness of their debut, and replaced it with strong hooks and a penchant for songwriting.

Lowell George shines on this album, both as a singer/songwriter and a guitarist. He demonstrates the ability to write just about anything, whether it's straight up rock and roll on Teenage Nervous Breakdown, tender ballads on Trouble and Willin' (A reworked band version of the same song from the debut), low down boogie (Cold, Cold, Cold) gospel-influenced rock (Sailin' Shoes), as well as mainstream pop (Easy To Slip, which should've been a hit). While Sailin' Shoes may be Lowell's album, the band truly shines on this recording too. Bill Payne's pianowork is music all by itself, and the tight rythym section of Roy Estrada and Richie Hayward keeps everything afloat just nicely.

I however, have to give this 4 stars, mainly because it loses steam near the end. The last 3 songs are just a tad bit forgettable for me to give a full 5. Got No Shadow and Bill Payne's Cat Fever don't seem to go anywhere, and Texas Road Cafe is a little too schizophrenic, as they were trying to put as many styles as they can in one song.

All in all, though, this is a fantastic album with 8 of the best songs from any rock band. Their next album, Dixie Chicken, would be the ulitmate peak. More later.

Original Master Recording

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2009

Verified Purchase

Sailin' Shoes is a classic recording I've owned on LP, CD, and now the Original Master Recording CD. I enjoy the music (obviously) bit after comparing the Original Master CD to the standard issue CD on a $40,000 stereo system I would have to say I could barely detect a difference. Now Yes Fragile is another story entirely and I would definitely recommend that Original Master Recording based on its outstanding sound quality but Sailin' Shoes was not worth the money in my book (although the packaging is better).

My wife has loved Little Feat for a long long time and Dixie chicken turned me off but listening to this collection has changed my mind. The Dixie, new Orleans, Commander Cody type music finally hit home. Willin' is one of the best song on this CD but its all great. New fan!

A real 70’s gem

Second album by Little Feat, containing some of their best work, also an indication where they were heading with the rich mixture of sounds their music contains. I first bought it as an lp record, played the guts out of it till it was no longer playable. Having just purchased the cd, I am amazed once again at how beautiful this record really is. If you are a Little Feat fan, you cannot go
wrong by buying yourself a copy.
