Little Feat

An American rock band that formed in 1969 in Los Angeles, California, and performed eclectic blues-rock with elements of country rock, southern rock, rhythm and blues, and soul music. The high technical proficiency of the musicians fit well into the general classic rock format of the 1970s, but the band created highly unorthodox music and—largely due to the original musical ideas of leader Lowell George (a former member of the Mothers of Invention)—acquired a cult status and the respect of music critics. After the death of Lowell George in 1979, the band broke up, and upon reuniting in 1987, failed to restore its former authority—though they toured with constant success each time.
