Live Albums By Little Feat
Lowell George was asked by Frank Zappa to leave his backing band, the Mothers Of Invention and formed his own band… Little Feat. He became the main songwriter, guitarist and lead singer and was very much the face and figurehead of the band.
Little Feat are extremely hard to categorise as their music reflects rock, r&B, blues, funk, jazz and country to create a unique fusion.
From about 1978, Lowell George’s interest in Little Feat declined and with worsening heath, he recorded a solo album. He died on June 29, 1979 from a heart attack while on tour in Arlington, Virginia.
Little Feat reformed in 1987 when the surviving members brought in singer / songwriter / guitarist Craig Fuller. he left in 1993 when the regular touring was too much for his family commitments. He was replaced by Shaun Murphy who became the first female member of Little Feat. She left in 2009.
