Produktbeschreibungen
Das Debüt der Little Feat als erfolgreich zu bezeichnen wäre übertrieben. Es hatte zwar gute Kritiken, aber magere Umsätze. Aus Angst von Warner fallen gelassen zu werden, spielte die Band 1972 das Zweitwerk „Sailin' Shoes" weniger abstrus und seltsam ein. Es bleibt jedoch weit davon entfernt ein Pop-Album zu sein. Die Einflüsse von Rock und Blues mit der Vergangenheit der Hälfte des Quartetts bei den „Mothers of Invention" sollte dies verhindern.

Die Band ging sogar so weit, dass gerade erst ein Jahr zuvor veröffentlichte „Willin'" noch einmal zu remixen. Der Erfolg stellte sich dennoch noch nicht richtig ein und erst Jahre des Tourens sollten dieses Album in die Herzen der Musikliebhaber bringen. Heute gilt es als das vielleicht wichtigste Werk der Band und stellt einen musikalischen Hochgenuss für Menschen mit guter Laune da.

Re-Mastering von Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab mit dem Ultradisc II System. Lieferung im japanischen Mini-LP-Cover mit allen Texten und fortlaufender Seriennummer.

New Numbered Limited Edition Mini-LP-Style Packaging!
 
So much for the sophomore slump. Faced with the frustration that comes with making a critically acclaimed debut that failed to win over mainstream audiences, Little Feat responded with Sailin’ Shoes, a sterling studio effort that synthesizes all of the band’s strengths.

This 1972 set plays like a jambalaya of American music styles. The equivalent to acknowledged period classics by The Band, Allman Brothers Band, Bob Dylan, and the Rolling Stones, Sailin’ Shoes is at once familiar, clever, organic, wholesome, and humorous. Remastered from the original analog master tapes, MoFi’s LP-style packaged Gold CD of Sailin’ Shoes brings the music’s vibrant colors, rich tones, round notes, and sky-bound harmonies to the forefront with unsurpassed intimacy and realism. 
Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Little Feat's debut may have been a great album but it sold so poorly, they had to either broaden their audience or, in all likelihood, they'd be dropped from Warner. So, Sailin' Shoes is a consciously different record from its predecessor - less raw and bluesy, blessed with a varied production and catchier songs. That still doesn't make it a pop record, since Little Feat, particularly in its first incarnation, was simply too idiosyncratic, earthy and strange for that. It is, however, an utterly thrilling, individual blend of pop, rock, blues and country, due in no small part to a stellar set of songs from Lowell George. If anything, his quirks are all the more apparent here than they were on the debut, since Ted Templeman's production lends each song its own character, plus his pen was getting sharper. George truly finds his voice on this record, with each of his contributions sparkling with off-kilter humor, friendly surreal imagery and humanity, and he demonstrates he can authoritatively write anything from full-throttle rock & roll ("Teenage Nervous Breakdown"), sweet ballads ("Trouble," a sublimely reworked "Willin'"), skewered folk ("Sailin' Shoes"), paranoid rock ("Cold, Cold, Cold") and blues ("A Apolitical Blues") and, yes, even hooky mainstream rock ("Easy to Slip," which should have been the hit the band intended it to be). That's not to discount the contributions of the other members, particularly Bill Payne and Richie Hayward's "Tripe Face Boogie," which is justifiably one of the band's standards, but the thing that truly stuns on Sailin' Shoes is George's songwriting and how the band brings it to a full, colorful life. Nobody could master the twists and turns within George's songs better than Little Feat, and both the songwriter and his band are in prime form here.
