Product Details

Lowell George's fingerprints are all over Little Feat's catalog, but *Time Loves A Hero* marked a pivotal moment when the full band stepped into the spotlight, with keyboardist Bill Payne and percussionist Sam Clayton pushing the group's New Orleans-influenced rhythms to the forefront. Released in 1977, it captured a band at peak road-hardened confidence, drawing on the same sweaty intersection of funk, blues, and country that made their live shows legendary among the faithful.

The high standard which the musicians maintain over the two sides of the LP is established with "Hi Roller", a funky, energetic opening number. The multi-part title number "Times Loves A Hero" follows on with a more subdued tempo but with great dive and sophisticated percussion, which proves itself to be the most important element and governs the whole album. Little Feat conjures with traditional forms, gets you on the dance floor with "Old Folks Boogie" and serves up a tasty mixture of honky-tonk and blues, which is refined with powerful guitar solos.
