CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Chinese Work Songs illustrates the strengths that Little Feat has maintained through thick and thin. With founding member Bill Payne and Paul Barrere (who signed up with 1973's classic Dixie Chicken) leading the charge, the seven-member ensemble demonstrates impressive instrumental prowess, in the process providing a reminder that the Grateful Dead weren't the only classic-rock group to have a mighty impact on modern jam bands. (They give a tip of the hat toward their descendants by adeptly covering Phish's "Sample in a Jar.") In general, the band has better luck with covers than originals, with the Band's "Rag Mama Rag" kicking things into gear with elbow-swinging gusto. Bands with three decades behind them can either settle into a stupor or hone their sound into something that's focused yet flexible. Fortunately for Little Feat followers, this gang falls into the latter bunch. --Steven Stolder Similar CDs

CD ReviewsHow did this get outta the studio? J. P. Flower | San Jose, CA USA | 09/30/2000 (3 out of 5 stars) "Little Feat is still one of the sweetest bands to ever play a funky tune - with Lowell and without - a stellar group of musicians. How could anyone one of these major talents listen to the pitiful quality of this recording and say that it was ready for release? Nathaniel Kunkel mixed "Representing the Mambo", and obviously knows what he'sdoing. There is NO separation on any of the tracks - Feat sounds better in concert than on this CD. The entire effort borders on unlistenable, garage band quality. It's painful to say this because I love you guys - but for cryin'out loud - we've all been listening to music WAY too long to call this anywhere near a professional effort. It's like showin' up to dinner in a tuxedo with a pair of brown shoes." Big Time Rockin' from Little Feat ! Mitchell Small | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA | 06/23/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "With the demise of the Greatful Dead, this album should propel Little Feat to the title of The Best Rock 'n' Roll Band. This album just plain kicks *** Well, I do wan this to be a family readable review, so you can put your own words there!The covers of "Rag Mama Rag" and "It Takes a Lot to Laugh..." are excellent and unmistakeably Little Feat. The group really kicks back to the "Dixie Chicken" days with "Just Another Sunday". Without realizing it, I found myself in my car with the windows down, stereo cranked to max while cruisin' down the highway. My vote for Best Cut on the disk.The title cut is a wonderful blend that is stamped "Made By Little Feat". Top quality al the way through. "Eula" was very reminiscent of "Fat man in a Bathtub". I could almost see Lowell George in the background.My old live Little Feat tape is long since worn out. If this CD were a tape, it too would be worn out is very short order!" Uninspired by this Feat Peter Elliffe | New Jersey | 06/05/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "I'm a great Little Feat lover, but I was disappointed by this one. The styles are formulaic, and I didn't feel that Shaun Murphy was really part of the band. Sorry but the title song is just annoying. I wanted to give my kids a taste of the truly creative rock that these folks made way back when - well this is not it."
