奇才、ローウェル・ジョージの才能が爆裂した歴史的名盤。アメリカン・ミュージックと呼ばれるものなら、なんでも吸収し消化していく貪欲さが、このアルバムにはある。ブルース、ブギウギ、ロックンロールと、多種多様だ。
特に<5>は、ローウェルがザッパのもとにいたころ、ザッパに聴いてもらうと気に入ってくれて、自分のバンドをつくるよう勧められ、リトル・フィート結成のきっかけとなった名曲。のちにこの名曲をカヴァーした人は多い。広大なアメリカン・ミュージックの一断片を垣間見ることができる傑作。(たかいしさとし)

Sailin' Shoes demonstrates just how briskly Little Feat was developing in their early 1970s formative years. A pronounced step up from the Southern California quartet's critically praised 1971 debut, it's not as fully realized as the Feat's 1973 zenith,
Dixie Chicken. But it's not far behind, and that's saying something. The final recording made by the original quartet (the band swelled to six members after founding bassist and Mothers of Invention alumni Roy Estrada split), Little Feat circa 1972 is a lean, energetic outfit. "Cold, Cold, Cold," "Tripe Face Boogie," "Apolitical Blues," and "Teenage Nervous Breakdown" are blunter rockers than what would follow. Lowell George's title track and Bill Payne's "Got No Shadow" and "Cat Fever," meanwhile, presage the more limber direction the group was headed.
