Little Feat - Dixie Chicken

[irock]

Anybody else around here remember this? It's gotta be one of the all-time greatest southern rock tunes. I've heard it millions of times and I never get tired of it. My preference is for the studio version from the same-named album. There's an excellent extended version on the live album 'Waiting For Columbus'.

Little Feat had a number of superb albums. Lowell George (one of the true masters of the slide guitar) was the most creative talent in the group. His exit in '78 followed by a deadly heart attack in '79 was a terrible blow to the band. They reformed in the late 80s, but without George it just wasn't the same.

I have to give you credit for pulling stuff like this out of the hat, I doubt you'll get many replies, but its nice to see relatively obscure stuff like this get a mention. I wasn't a fan of Little Feat, this style of music reminds me of Grateful Dead which I loathe, and I barely remember this song, but it had a nice piano riff in it somewhere.

They never got much play in the New York area for whatever reason. I like the beginning of the song Down On The Farm I think it is, where theres a frog ribbeting and I guess its Lowell George telling it to shut up before the song begins.

Here's a clip.

The Dixie Chicks got their name from this song (figured someone should point that out in this thread). :)

Garth Brooks did a great cover of this song and I was hoping he would release it as a single but he didn't. It's a fun song.
