Feats Don't Fail Me Now, Little Feat's fourth album, rolled out on Warner Bros. in 1974 under a Neon Park cover, and it catches the band's classic lineup in full swampy stride. Lowell George's guitar, Bill Payne's keyboards, Richie Hayward's drums, Kenny Gradney's bass, Paul Barrere on guitar and vocals and Sam Clayton's percussion simmer into a loose-limbed Southern gumbo, funky and greasy, with Van Dyke Parks credited as producer.
"Oh Atlanta" struts, "Spanish Moon" slinks through the humid murk, and the title track is a good-time holler. The oddball is "The Fan", a tune Hayward says dated back to their debut; its lopsided rhythm beat them on the two albums in between, until they finally nailed it live in the studio here. In 2000 Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums slotted it in at number 718.
