Notes:  To me this is baseline Little Feat with Lowell exhibiting his talents both on the stage and in the production booth. Boogie-blues at its finest and the 10 minute (even) take on Cold, Cold Cold / Tripe Face Boogie should sway even the most stalwart hold out to the church of George. Not to slight the rest of the band by any means. The whole family swings on this record. Neon Park has Washington and what appears to be Norma Jean on a ride through the mountains. Are they trying to outrun the lightening or are they oblivious to its approach? Start you Feat collection with this one.

Line Up:

Bill Payne: keyboards and vocals
Richie Hayward: drums and background vocals
Lowell George: guitars, vocals and production
Ken Gradney: bass (do not be decieved or take lightly this bit of musicianship that one describes simply as bass)
Sam Clayton: percussion and vocals
Paul Barrere: guitars, vocals
Gordon Dewitty: clavinet on Spanish Moon
Background Vocals: Emmy Lou Harris, Fran Tate, Bonie Raitt
