 George Graham Reviews Little Feat's "Chinese Work Songs"
Founded in 1970 by the late Lowell George, with Bill Payne, Richie Hayward and Roy Estrada of Frank Zappa's band at the time, the group at first served as a vehicle for the distinctive songs of George, including such classics as Willin' which were covered by others.
But with time, as the personnel settled into the key members who are still with the group, Little Feat -- which was, by the way, named after Lowell George's foot size -- became known for their good time music with a combination of great rhythmic grooves, with occasional jazzy forays, thanks to keyboard man Payne.
Lowell George passed away in 1979, but the group continued on with the same trademark style: a bluesy, vaguely Southern rock sound, strongly danceable but often with unexpected syncopations, alternating with an almost Steely-Dan like musical sophistication.

Tonight, George opens for the Cowboy Junkies at the Somerville Theatre, but it won't be her first stop here, since she spent three semesters studying theater at Emerson College a decade ago, an experience that didn't quite suit her.
