Little Feat – Dixie Chicken (Deluxe 3-LP Vinyl)
Experience the Timeless Sound of Little Feat
Released in 1973, Dixie Chicken marks the moment Little Feat found their true groove—the album where co-founder Lowell George's swamp-rock vision fully crystallized with the addition of Kenny Gradney on bass, Sam Clayton on percussion, and Paul Barrere on guitar. This deluxe 3-LP vinyl edition presents the 2023 remaster cut from original tapes alongside previously unreleased studio outtakes, demos, and a complete live show from Paul's Mall in Boston recorded April 1, 1973—the first deep dive into one of the most influential '70s Warner Bros. catalog albums.
The original album introduced songs that became permanent fixtures in Little Feat's repertoire: the title track's New Orleans-influenced shuffle, the barroom blues of Fat Man in the Bathtub, and the rolling Two Trains. The Hotcakes, Outtakes, Rarities LP reveals alternate versions and demos showing how these classics evolved, while the live set captures the newly expanded seven-piece lineup tearing through material with raw energy. Spread across six sides, this vinyl edition allows the music to breathe with the warmth and dynamics only analog can deliver.
Dixie Chicken initially struggled commercially despite critical acclaim, but its reputation grew steadily as artists from Bonnie Raitt to the Grateful Dead championed the band's unique blend of rock, funk, blues, and New Orleans R&B. This deluxe triple vinyl, available signed by current members Bill Payne, Kenny Gradney, Sam Clayton, Fred Tackett, Scott Sharrard, and Tony Leone, represents the definitive presentation of this watershed album on wax.
Deluxe 3-LP Vinyl: 2023 remaster plus outtakes, demos, and live show from Paul's Mall (4/1/73). Available signed or unsigned.
