Little Feat: Sailin' Shoes
Bud Scoppa, Rolling Stone, 30 March 1972
NOW, HERE'S A BAND with a mission. Little Feat is hewn from the same piece of oak as the Byrds, the Band, and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Like those three great (or once-great) groups, Little Feat is preoccupied with American myths and folklore, though in its own peculiar way.
Total word count of piece: 621
