馃幐 Little Feat - Sailin' Shoes (1972)



Pochette de l'album


馃嚞馃嚙 Biographie (English)
Under pressure from Warner after an excellent first album had sold poorly, Little Feat Lowell George had to react. This is done with a Sailin 'Shoes devilishly good. To understand the transformation, shedding rather, it is an excellent means to compare the two versions of "Willin ', you know the song that is said to have caused the dismissal of Lowell in the Mothers of Invention Frank Zappa speaking of dope because what Frank did not tolerate, there are other versions but it holds the rope, well it turns out that 'Willin' is precisely this on the eponymous 1971 and Sailin 'Shoes. The friendly country music green meadows was seriously boosted by a more approach (country) rock more "tight" which, far from betraying the composition, improves. Well, this is absolutely symptomatic of an overall approach where, without in any way losing its small side "at the margin", it did not go in Zappa for nothing, the quartet becomes effective, and Lowell George a vocalist and leader in full confidence of its resources and delivering, suddenly, a remarkable performance.

馃嚝馃嚪 Biographie (Fran莽ais)
Sous pression de la Warner apr猫s un excellent premier album qui s'茅tait tr猫s mal vendu, le Little Feat de Lowell George se devait de r茅agir. C'est chose faite avec un Sailin' Shoes diaboliquement bon.
Pour comprendre la transformation, la mue plut么t, il y a un excellent moyen, comparer les deux versions de 'Willin', vous savez la chanson dont on dit qu'elle a caus茅 le renvoi de Lowell de chez les Mothers of Invention de Frank Zappa parce que parlant de dope ce que Frank ne tol茅rait pas, y a d'autres versions mais celle-ci tient la corde, et bien il se trouve que 'Willin' est justement pr茅sente sur l'茅ponyme de 1971 et sur Sailin' Shoes. L'aimable country music des vertes prairies a 茅t茅 s茅rieusement boost茅e par une approche plus (country) rock plus "tight" qui, loin de trahir la composition, l'am茅liore. H茅 bien, c'est absolument symptomatique d'une approche d'ensemble o霉, sans aucunement perdre son petit c么t茅 "脿 la marge", on n'est pas pass茅 chez Zappa pour rien !, le quatuor devient efficace, et Lowell George un vocaliste et leader en pleine confiance de ses moyens et d茅livrant, du coup, une performance remarquable.
