The saga of the legendary Los Angeles band Little Feat is one of rock'n' roll's great stories. Formed in 1969 by ex-members of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, Little Feat created groove-heavy music that was an irresistible mix of rock, blues, R&B, country, jazz, soul, and funk.Fronted by the charismatic but doomed vocalist and brilliant slide guitarist Lowell George, the band recorded such classic studio albums as Sailin'shoes and Dixie Chicken , as well as Waiting for Columbus , which many consider to be one of the best live albums of all time.Acclaimed journalist Ben Fong-Torres- working with Little Feat's surviving members, their friends, and associates- wrote Willin' based on hours of brand new interviews with the key players. The result? The first definitive biography of this beloved rock'n' roll institution.
