Free Music Review: Little Feat visits "Dixieland" on one of their finest releases
Hit: 5 Stars
Mixing blues, New Orleans jazz and rock 'n' roll in a potent mix, Dixie Chicken proved to be a watershed album for the band. Their third album was, along with "Feats Don't Fail Me Now", one of their finest without a single weak track. Opening with the title track and then following immediately with the soulful "Two Trains" (which Lowell George later re-recorded for his only solo album "Thanks I'll Eat It Here"),and then drifts into acoustic blues with "Roll Um Easy" (available as a re-recording by George on the Little Feat box set "Hotcakes and Outtakes" an unreleased track from his solo album as well).
The song is probably best known for "Fat Man in The Bathtub" and while that IS a great song, there's so much more here to be heard that if that's the only Little Feat song that you've heard, you're depriving yourself. The album closes out with the George-Billy Payne collaboration "Lafayette Railroad" a potent mix of Payne's slide guitar and percussionist Sam Clayton on congas.
The original CD sounds terrific. It was mastered for CD by Lee Herschberg who focused on recreating the crisp sound of the original LP as much as possible while playing to the sonic advantages of a CD. It's a pity that there are no bonus tracks on the CD (there are outtakes that are available on the "Hotcakes & Outtakes" box set that would have fit in here just fine but that came out AFTER this was released and, to be honest, when this was originally released on CD in 1990 it was rare but not unheard of to find bonus tracks on re-releases)but other than that minor complaint (and the fact that they could have provided lyrics for the songs), this is a terrific one to get. Is it better to get the CD in a replica of the original LP sleeve that Warner has been putting out via its Japanese division? Not really unless you want that replica along with a replica of the artwork recreated from the original label on the CD? That's you're call but the music--which matters--is the same.
Dixie Chicken Poster
Everything came together for Little Feat's third album. An expanded lineup gave the Feat a more supple rhythmic base, Lowell George penned some of his strongest numbers, and they developed an oozy studio sound that suited them to a T. The title track, "Fat Man in a Bathtub," and "Two Trains" distilled compounded rhythms, wailing background vocals, and adroit wordplay into an intoxicating soul-rock swill. In many ways, Dixie Chicken stands as a kind of kissing cousin to the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street, which hit the streets one year earlier. While not as expansive as the Stones' magnum opus, its highlights are every bit as spectacular. --Steve StolderJapanese Limited Edition Issue of the Album Classic in a Deluxe, Miniaturized LP Sleeve Replica of the Original Vinyl Album Artwork.
