ABOUT THE RECORDSailin' Shoes was the second studio album by the American rock band Little Feat, released in 1972. The album is notable for several reasons. First, it introduced the cover artwork of Neon Park to the group. Second, it marked a shift from the sound of the band's first album, Little Feat, to that of their next album, Dixie Chicken. Third, it marked the last album appearance of original bassist Roy Estrada. Highlighted by a reworked group version of Willin', the track that had led Frank Zappa to sack guitarist and vocalist Lowell George from The Mothers of Invention, it also featured such enduring tracks as A Apolitical Blues, Easy to Slip and the title track, all by guitarist and lead vocalist Lowell George, the second co-written with Martin Kibbee, credited as "Fred Martin", a former bandmate from The Factory, and the first appearance of the "George/Martin" credit on a Little Feat record. With his design for a "sailing shoe" of a cake swinging on a tree swing, the album's front cover by Neon Park seems to be an allusion to The Swing by painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard. Park himself said of the cover: "The *Sailin' Shoes* cover was inspired by Louis XIV. I'd just seen Rossellini's film about Louis XIV. And it seemed to relate a lot to Hollywood. A situation ruled by someone who kept everybody under his thumb by keeping them in hock from buying fancy clothes seemed to relate to Hollywood somehow. Actually, the only thing that was missing was the Hollywood sign, which I was going to put in the background. I thought that would be gauche. But I had a chance to pick up on that later with The Last Record Album. The cover design also includes a giant snail and Mick Jagger dressed as Gainsborough's The Blue Boy - Park had been inspired by the film Performance. A reviewer from allmusic.com says, "Nobody could master the twists and turns within George's songs better than Little Feat, and both the songwriter and his band are in prime form here."Portions of our "About the Record" section are taken from information gathered from Wikipedia and AllMusic.
