Artist: Little Feat Title Of Album: Feats Don't Fail Me Now Year Of Release: 2024 Label: Warner Country: US Genre: Southern Rock, Blues Rock Audio codec: FLAC | lossless Little Feat will release a new Deluxe Edition of Feats Don’t Fail Me Now this summer, just in time for the 50th anniversary of the legendary group’s fourth studio album. "Feats Don't Fail Me Now (Deluxe Edition)" will be available June 14 and include the studio album newly remastered from the original multi-track and two-track stereo tapes. They also feature rare and unreleased alternate versions and outtakes from the album sessions. A wealth of unreleased music is included in the new Deluxe Edition, including alternate versions of album tracks (“Rock & Roll Doctor” and “Oh Atlanta”) and early versions of songs destined for future albums, including “Long Distance Love” (The Last Record Album) and an unfinished version of “Day At The Dog Races” (Time Loves A Hero). The presence of any session recordings from Feats Don’t Fail Me Now is a minor miracle. The studio where the band made the album, Blue Seas Recording Studio in Baltimore, was a converted barge that sank into the harbor in 1977. Until recently, the session tapes were believed to be lost. Originally released in August 1974, Feats Don’t Fail Me Now was the band’s fourth album overall but only the second recorded by the classic lineup of singer-guitarist Lowell George, drummer Richard Hayward, keyboard player Bill Payne, singer-guitarist Paul Barrere, bassist Kenny Gradney, and percussionist Sam Clayton. The album also features the R&B funk group Tower of Power on horns. When it came out, the album received glowing reviews for its funky grooves and standout tracks like “Rock & Roll Doctor,” “Oh Atlanta,” and the lead single, “Spanish Moon.” The album went gold and was the band’s first to reach the Billboard Top 200, peaking at #36.
