Little Feat – Dixie Chicken [Stereo] (Deluxe Edition)

Remastered all-analog (AAA) from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering.

The indomitable Little Feat!

180-gram 3LP deluxe edition reissue

A rich mix of rock, funk, folk, jazz, country, rockabilly, New Orleans swamp boogie and more!

Two of Little Feat's best — Sailin' Shoes and Dixie Chicken — have been newly remastered for Deluxe Editions that will introduce unreleased live and studio recordings that capture peak Feat.

Dixie Chicken, the band's third studio album, emerged in 1973 and introduced fans to Little Feat's evolving sound and new line-up. The group's shift toward New Orleans-style funk was accompanied by the arrival of three new members, guitarist Paul Barrere, percussionist Sam Clayton, and bassist Kenny Gradney (who replaced Estrada).

Dixie Chicken (DELUXE EDITION) contains the newly remastered album, which features classics such as "Two Trains," "Fat Man In The Bathtub," and the title track. Several unreleased session recordings debut in the new set, including alternate versions of "Roll Um Easy," "On Your Way Down," and "Juliette." The unreleased live music was recorded at Paul's Mall in Boston on March 1, 1973. They feature songs from Dixie Chicken ("Two Trains," "Walkin' All Night") and the band's earlier albums ("Willin'," "Got No Shadow.") The illustrated liner notes included in the collection were written by author Dennis McNally, who got his start as the Grateful Dead's publicist.
