While it's easy to think of Little Feat as nothing more than a typical Southern-fried 1970s boogie band, they are in fact a case study in what happens to a musical stew that sits in the sun of downtown L.A. for a little too long. Little Feat combined divergent pop styles--from funk and R&B to country and rock--and funneled them through a smog-baked, drugged-out style distinctly its own. Rhino's 17-track BEST OF (the first single-disc retrospective of the band) tracks the entirety of Little Feat's 20-year-plus career, featuring tracks from the band's Lowell George-led heyday, as well as those recorded after the band's 1988 reunion nearly 10 years after George's death.
