First time hearing Little Feat “Dixie Chicken” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@mrnobody9104]

One of the Funkiest bands to ever exist, Lowell George is one of my fave musicians of all time. The whole band is incredible but he always stood out! Worth the journey folks...

[@kerrycronin3581]

My favorite song of all times is off of his solo effort called What Do You Want the Girl To Do? It brings me right back to those teen angst feelings.

[@rudedogmat]

All the boys in the bar began to sing along, they had all been snookered by the beautiful southern Belle. That last line tells it all.

[@bamacopeland4372]

Have been burned by one a couple times

[@janishaldeman3339]

Snooker Doodle

[@jimbeller7948]

Yeah, I think Asia & BJ missed that... the song is the story of a gorgeous Southern Belle every man thinks is his, but she turns out to have quite a history and a full little black book.

[@44ZiggyStardust]

I worked security for a little Feat show back in '78. They were great guys. I spent the most time with Sam Clayton, but I had no idea how special it was to have spent some time with Lowell, as he passed shortly thereafter. Little Feat "The Greatest Band Nobody Ever Heard Of"

[@johnwilkinson4683]

Paul McCartney, The Doobie Brothers, Bonnie Rait and a million other rock artists idolized them. The are still on the circuit but it's just not Little Feat w/o Lowell George.

[@fractuss]

The tightest, loosest, band ever.

[@pmbrig]

​@@johnwilkinson4683 Some time in the 70's Mick Jagger was asked what his favorite band was, and he said "Little Feat."

[@gr8fulted49]

Feat's Waiting For Columbus album is usually in the Top 3-4 of the best live albums of all time. It's great.

[@rogerdaly6326]

Asia & BJ their live album Waiting For Columbus is one of the best live albums ever recorded. Do Fat Man In The Bathtub & Oh Atlanta from that album next.

[@flerbus]

Willin'

[@brendamilloy2557]

Spanish Moon is another great Feat tune!

[@davidstephens6462]

One of most underrated bands ever! So much talent in that band.

[@leefreed2060]

Simply put, little feat is one of the greatest American Bands ever.

[@ranbirgill4718]

Any song you choose will be awesome LITTLEFEAT

[@2005wsoxfan]

Check out the live version. CLASSIC!!!

[@laurakali6522]

There is a great video with them performing this with Bonnie Raitt and EmmyLou Harris singing backup. Circa 77.

[@Macilmoyle]

The problem with that video is that they mixed Bonny and Emmy Lou's vocals out of the mix.

[@johncastle5071]

"Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley" (Robert Palmer). Same back-up band.

[@scapito]

Asia sharing the same feels I got when I heard it for the first time. 💜 I requested it because I thought she would like the funky piano.

[@mrnobody9104]

Great pick Bill can definitely tickle them keys!

[@johnboydTx]

🌹🍻🍻🕺🕺🕺All night long 😂 Enjoy your adventures in life ✌️

[@AsiaandBJ]

Love that!

[@Malibu1515]

Any Doobie Brothers song that has those tickling piano notes in it(Sweet Maxine for example)is Billy Payne. He played on everyone of their albums including after Mike MacDonald joined. He's one of the most highly sought after session musicians around and is the only surviving original member.

[@macjbe]

"Willin’" ,"Spanish Moon","A Apolitical Blues" , "Fat Man in the Bathtub"-they were okay after Lowell George, spectacular with him, great live band, so tight, so talented. Thanks for this reaction ❤

[@rhwinner]

_Easy to Slip_ is another great song by them. They have so many.

[@dannymoore6886]

Lead Singer/slide guitarist Lowell George (R.I.P.) was a great player. Billy Payne one of the best pianists I've ever heard live. Their Waiting For Columbus live album is a CLASSIC!

[@larksigsby3697]

Just saw Little Feat on a blues cruise in March. They are all that and more! We catch them at least once a year.

[@markvogt7918]

You've finally discovered Little Feat!! You will love their other stuff as well. "Waiting for Columbus" was a very popular album on college campus in 1976.

[@richardryan5826]

The style of music varies from one track to the next on most Little Feat albums. This variance demonstrates their creativity and stellar musicianship. Back in the day, many music critics felt that Little Feat's lack of commercial success was due to the fact that their music did not fit neatly into one or two categories. Their music is wonderful. Thank you for your reaction/review.

[@NotStanleyTucci]

Lowell George brought the NOLA spice! You’d love the stuff he did with Robert Palmer - Sneakin’ Sally Through the Alley, Hey Julia…. So fun

[@eddieevans6692]

This is one of my favorite songs ever! It hits all the right spots. Great live act you could actually see in some smaller venues.

[@rachelcampbell4419]

You should hear the live version with the Tower of Power horn section playing with them

[@starronin4580]

Fat man in the bathtub is one of my lifelong favorite songs...I remember dancing in the living room to this album when I was barely out of toddler age...dixieland funk!

[@hog7203]

Y'all would love their song Rock and Roll Doctor. Good call on the New Orleans reference. They definitely have some musical influences from that area. The Meters, Dr John, the Neville Brothers all have that flow.

[@sikksotoo]

Heard this hundreds of times as a kid. Takes me back. All their album covers are really funky too.

[@paulprendergast3184]

Saw them live in Buffalo in the 70's at their peak. They could play anything, any style. Pretty good southern sound for guys from California 😂

[@glennburch1081]

The band got a sound-alike replacement after lead singer Lowell George passed, but I never felt the band was the same afterwards. RIP Lowell George. Thanks for reacting to this amazing band. BTW, Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris sang backup on this tune when they were young and b4 they were big stars in their own right.

[@aldofreda8397]

One of the best bands of the seventies. The whole band were extremely talented musicians. Lowell George was another genius songwriter that left us too soon. He was also no slouch on slide. Many great songs. Check out Fat man in the bathtub. Another amazing tune. Check out all their

[@gmarky81]

He tells you in the song . Beale Street and Memphis

[@richardmather1906]

The last verse always cracks me up. She's been through all the guys in the bar. They all start singing her song.

[@markmurphy558]

This band was cherished by most of their fellow musicians as underappreciated precious gems. WILLIN' is my favorite.

[@ML-un1oi]

Thanks for doing Little Feat. Great band. Great reaction. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤

[@Michael-Philip]

Feats Don't Fail Me Now.

[@jamietfranklin]

The Best Band of the South! Do anything by them, from any time period! PS: Live tracks are better!

[@chopa2less]

Originated in California. Three players from the South. Bill Payne was the only original member from the South.

[@kenbelke8549]

best southern band out of LA

[@dennisburns3456]

Richie H. hailed from Ames Ia.

[@mjy34222]

If you ever try another I love their song "Fat Man in the Bathtub"

[@dystar112]

A fantastic oldie. I think.the albumn was called 'Waiting for Columbus'. This one is funky jazz blues country rock - just an awesome song.

[@timgrady4630]

C'mon y'all . That's a groove ...more , please & thank you . Blessings to you and your dear ones .

[@robertkampfer8293]

More Little Feat

[@SmilingMedicineEntertainment]

Little Feat is such a fantastic band that's so totally overlooked. If you wanna hear their best stuff, you gotta look into their album Waiting For Columbus. Try checking out Fat Man in the Bathtub, Oh Atlanta and this song, Dixie Chicken, linked up with Tripe Face Boogie. Lowell George stepped in as America's foremost slide guitar player after we lost Duane Allman. The man and his metal sprocket slide could play stuff that would just slap ya upside the head.

[@bfowler8260]

All that you feel. Spanish Moon. Willing. You could do the whole album. Classic

[@robinschulze934]

This is so funky back in the day someone gave me this album and I played it all the time!!!!❤😂

[@kevenbridges9433]

Even tho they had a southern sound the band was from California . One of the best live jam bands ever.

[@garymcadams8328]

Y’all done missed the whole meaning of this song about that southern lady in a little house at the edge of town. Oh my. And ALL the boys knew her well. Do the math.😎

[@edcastillo9342]

One of the best bands of the seventies. Formed in Los Angeles by ex members of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. Their live album, Waiting for Columbus, is top notch. The band was never the same after the death of Lowell George. The band reunited in the mid eighties, with the addition of Craig Fuller being the main songwriter and singer, but their sound was different.

[@maine420grow]

Did you ever hear the story where Lowell brought WILLING to Frank and that was part of the reason he was"let go"

[@fractuss]

I saw them a few years ago and they were so great. Don't miss them just because Lowell is gone.

[@grahamhannah2108]

Little Feat’s Waiting For Columbus live lp has some awesome songs. Oh Atlanta, Fat Man in the Bathtub, Spanish Moon.. in fact the whole album is great.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Many folks think Little Feat are a Southern band, but their origins are really in Southern California. The only true Southerner in the group was Bassist Kenny Gradney, the rest were SoCal boys, and some SoCal girls on backing vocals. Little Feat are a vastly underrated group from the 70's through to today, they are still touring, but several members have passed since their real glory days. Founder and Lead Vocalist/Singer/Songwriter Lowell George, Guitarist/Vocalist Paul Barerre and Drummer Richie Hayward have left us, but Keyboardist/Vocalist Bill Payne, Conga Player/Vocalist Sam Clayton and Mr. Gradney are still going strong. Got to see them with Lowell back in the late 70's, and a bunch of times since without Mr. George, an always a GREAT show.. AMAZING.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Lowell George also played a mean Guitar, and add some Slide Guitar to that as well.

[@rollon863]

Love me some Little Feat! Great reaction guys. They DO have that Southern sound... for a band from San Francisco. The live version of this does the band more justice.

[@Malibu1515]

No it doesn't. Their studio tracks were always superior plus Waiting for Columbus isn't completely "live" anyway. Lowell George went into a studio and re-recorded the vocals cause he sucked singing them live.

[@johansilencio]

That Louisiana piano sound is called ragtime. True southern roots, good on you two for picking up on that

[@mrmusic248]

Little Feat was an L.A. band that just SOUNDED Southern. Great vocals, amazing slide guitar and a supernatural rhythm section. Throw in Bill Payne's piano, and you've the makings of a delicious musical stew.

[@sarahjeantracy9061]

Just got home from seeing them in Grand Junction, CO tonight! Awesome concert! Leftover Salmon Band opened for them.

[@scapito]

I worked for Leftover Salmon in '97 while they were on tour. Great group of folks.

[@joewiley62]

The live version off the Waiting for Columbus album has killer piano, sax and guitar solos ....

[@no2all]

Great to hear the late, great Lowell George...he left us way too early.

[@robertklotz1843]

Love to see yas react to the song "WILLIN'" by Little Feat! My personal favorite by them 😊

[@davidmillar3993]

If you haven't reacted to "Feats Don't Fail Me Now" please do 🙂

[@stephenpemberton85]

Got that swamp sound to it!

[@mikefetterman6782]

I have had this stuck in my head every time I drive lately. Find myself singing it by the time I hit the stop sign down the road. Bonnie Rait and Emmylou Harris usually would tour with Lowell back in the 70s.

[@1957PLATO]

They were so funky, Mick Nagger was floored by them.

[@1957PLATO]

Jagger

[@mksch7642]

Saw them at Red Rocks with Bonnie Raitt yrs ago. Awesome band.

[@robbiemcgrath4553]

First of all, let me say Little Feet are an amazing band. This song is about a beautiful southern belle that can charm the money out of any man's wallet. The proof is in the last line of this song when all the boys in the bar began to sing along. He wasn't the only guy who couldn't remember spending the money he put down. This particular beautiful southern belle knew exactly what she was doing, and it wasn't the first time she did it. I love this Little Feet song 11 out of 10.

[@douglasfrazier2856]

two of the guys in the band were Cajuns, I believe

[@auldfouter8661]

I'm still amazed I got to see them play in Glasgow , summer of 1976.

[@garyarnett1220]

Deep Purple did a fun cover of this on their newest (2021) album.

[@ianpark1805]

Now we’re talking! Magnificent band, should be and have been better known, although the folks who said they were never the same after Lowell left and subsequently passed are sadly right.

[@chitownlee]

The funny thing is they were from California.

[@ednicholson7839]

Kenny Gradney and Sam Clayton are from Louisiana and Bill Payne is from Texas. They're one of those LA bands that's from all over.

[@chitownlee]

@@ednicholson7839 yep, like the Doobies.

[@ednicholson7839]

@@chitownlee And The Doors, The Eagles, The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, CSNY and so on. I think the Doobies were Northern California but same idea.

[@FlamesCagney]

"My money flowed like wine . . ."

[@usernamesarewack221]

Roll Um Easy is another great one from Little Feat.

[@dawngipe6324]

This one brings back memories. Good song

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Lowell George had a great voice. This is actually a California band, but they do sound Southern. Now y’all need to listen to FAT MAN IN THE BATHTUB. There is a live version from a British tv show, I think it was called The Old Grey Whistle Test.

[@kelleewolfe2834]

One of my favorites!

[@TZ61]

Now we're talking. The party is officially started.

[@gmarky81]

this song is where the Chicks got the name

[@independenceltd.]

I just listened to this album yesterday.

[@crairdin]

The thing I love about you guys is how you can listen to a clever story-song like this classic and completely miss the point. This is a really funny song. Take another listen sometime. :-)

[@TheNorcalmonkey67]

Lowell George was a member of the Mothers of INvention, but got fired (stories vary about what truly happened, but FZ was notoriously anti-drugs). Zappa, however, thought Lowell George was talented & helped get him a recording contract with Warner Brothers. Little Feat was a reference from Mothers drummer Jimmy Carl Black about the size of Lowell's feet...lol. They are an amazing band and one the truly under the radar type of groups....just a gumbo of styles...they used to kill it live....**Lowell George produced the grateful dead's shakedown street album....

[@texascreekcowboy1587]

Garth Brooks does a version too. it's pretty legit

[@ianhamilton2035]

"Saling Shoes" is a must!!! 😃

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Just check out the album “Dixie Chicken” and your memory music file will be better along with Sailin' Shoes album by Little Feat

[@brucedillinger9448]

Talk about FUNKY. So good! ✌

[@patrickkaltner8554]

Spanish Moon live will give you their funk

[@Joe-d3t1t]

So underrated

[@briansmith303]

Let It Roll is another banger by them.

[@custardflan]

Little Feat is one of my faves and this is my fave of theirs. Good choice. Lead singer and guitarist Lowell George died too early.

[@Bruhaha9]

Or sounds just like the sort of thing you’d hear somewhere except nobody ever did it quite like that or nearly that well. There isn’t anything quite like it but you feel like you’ve heard it before

[@robertklotz1843]

That "Tennesee Lamb" sure did get around! Eh? 😅

[@rich23231]

One of my favorite bar songs along with Pure Prarie League’s son Amie.❤

[@robinschulze934]

Now that you have gone there u gotta do “ There’s A Fat Man In The Bathtub “🛀 😂❤!!!!!

[@giuliogrifi7739]

Definitely you should react to the live version on the WAITING FOR COLUMBUS album.....much, much richer sound !!!

[@KathleenNunley]

What a fun song!

[@Malibu1515]

Did anyone ever tell you these guys were from California? All but Billy Payne(piano)have passed away. May they all rest in peace. HoF worthy in every aspect. Also thank you for doing the studio version and not the live version that I'm sure the majority of commenters have mentioned. Most everyone only knows that live album and are clueless to their body of work or how good the studio versions are. Also Waiting On Columbus is not live. The vocals were all re-recorded in a studio because Lowell George didn't like the live versions.

[@blackwolf6082]

What a classic!

[@johnboydTx]

Little Feet has a Version with Bonnie Raitt. 🤠🍻🍻🍻❤️ truly amazing and Funky ✌️

[@ZdenekZeman433]

I have always been a Death Metal fan, but Dixie Chicken is my favourite song EVER

[@1dkappe]

Always “southern.” 😂 I guess Lowell George was born in that southern town of Hollywood, CA.

[@jimcole9751]

They were from LA....The Dixie Chick's got their name from this song

[@alexharbison4411]

Nice song and nice reaction. Fat Man in the Bathtub or Old Folks Boogie should be next.😁😁

[@jackieannsims2871]

I love this song

[@allenhester9177]

Little Feat was from Los Angeles.

[@sageonions]

Love your reactions to all the music except the breaks in the middle because it does affect the continuity and the enjoyment for those watching you. there seem to be many people who react at the end of a performance without having themselves blocked by copywright! Little Feat were a fabulous band for the late Sixties and the Seventies bringing a great Southern Country funk to their music. Lowell George, their front man had an incredible Tang to his voice with some great tonal variety. Sadly he has passed

[@usernamesarewack221]

Got to listen to Two Trains by Little Feat!

[@cliffordwaterton3543]

Find the live version of Spanish Moon and see if you can sit still. 😁

[@Chris.Davis.2]

Epic Song!!
