Performer: Little Feat
Artist: Patrick Simmons; Fred Tackett; Jeff Baxter; Michael McDonald; Tower Of Power Horns Distributor: WEA (Distributor) Notes: Little Feat: Lowell Guitar (vocals, guitar, slide guitar); Paul Barrere (vocals, guitar); Bill Payne (keyboards, marimba, background vocals) Ken Gradney (bass); Ritchie Hayward (drums, percussion, background vocals); Sam Clayton (congas, percussion; background vocals). Tower Of Power: Lenny Pickett (alto saxophone); Emilio Castillo (tenor saxophone); Steve Kupka (baritone saxophone); Mic Gillette (trumpet, trombone); Greg Adams (trumpet). Recorded in Hollywood and Sausalito, California. The Lowell George-fronted version of Little Feat pretty much reached the end of its tether with TIME LOVES A HERO. George had become disenchanted with the slicker, jazzier sound that keysman Bill Payne and guitarist Paul Barrere were moving towards (exemplified by the jazz-rock instrumental "Day at the Dog Races" and the Steely Dan-meets-Doobie Brothers "Red Streamliner"). George had dialed down his compositional input, and consequently, the bluesier, grittier elements of the the band's sound. This was to be the last Feat album released in George's lifetime; he died in 1979, shortly after dissolving the band.
Los Angeles' Little Feat served up a polymorphic gumbo of New Orleans funk, southern boogie, and blues rock with the soulful slide guitar, worn voice, and tremendous country-tinged songwriting of leader Lowell George as its main ingredients. Founded by George and pianist Bill Payne in 1969, Little Feat released a couple of straighter blues rock albums before embracing an infectious, Meters-like groove in their rhythm section (Roy Estrada and Richie Hayward of the Mothers of Invention). Despite a run of critically acclaimed albums throughout the '70s--and George's continuing excellence as a songwriter--the band broke up in 1979 shortly after George died. Reformed versions of Little Feat continued to release records and tour in the ensuing decades.
