Deluxe Edition Vinyl 3LP-Set with Original Album Remastered and Recut from the Original Tapes Plus Previously Unreleased Outtakes/Rarities and 1973 Live Performance

Two of Little Feat's best – Sailin' Shoes and Dixie Chicken – have been newly remastered for new Deluxe Edition vinyl 3LP-sets that introduce unreleased live and studio recordings capturing peak Feat. Dixie Chicken, the band's third studio album, emerged in 1973 and introduced fans to Little Feat's evolving sound and new line-up. The group's shift toward New Orleans-style funk was accompanied by the arrival of three new members, guitarist Paul Barrere, percussionist Sam Clayton, and bassist Kenny Gradney (who replaced Estrada).

The Dixie Chicken: Deluxe Edition contains the newly remastered album, which features classics like "Two Trains," "Fat Man In The Bathtub," and the title track. Several unreleased session recordings debut in the new set, including alternate versions of "Roll Um Easy," "On Your Way Down," and "Juliette." The unreleased live music was recorded at Paul's Mall in Boston on March 1, 1973. They feature songs from Dixie Chicken ("Two Trains," "Walkin' All Night") and the band's earlier albums ("Willin'," "Got No Shadow.") The illustrated liner notes included in the collection were written by author Dennis McNally, who got his start as the Grateful Dead's publicist.

Little Feat celebrates these new Deluxe Editions with "The Albums Tour" in fall 2023, which will feature the band playing each album in its entirety across back-to-back nights at select venues (night one will be Sailin' Shoes and night two will be Dixie Chicken).
