Little Feat was never an "album" band, even though they released many good records. They were low concept and high boogie. The groove was cerebral though, not the mindless "good time" endless fist pump variety mainly because of the playful and smart Lowell George. Lowell was from Baltimore.

The group's great records like Sailin' Shoes  and Dixie Chicken were simply collections of great tunes, not unified intellectual statements like, say,  Dark Side of the Moon or Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy.
