Little Feat
New Orleans funk, slide guitar, and Lowell George's pen.
Lowell George wrote like a trucker-poet and played slide like nobody before or since. 'Dixie Chicken,' 'Waiting for Columbus' — the band fused country, blues, funk, and L.A. session-cat looseness into something only they could play.
