Lowell George wrote "Easy to Slip" with Martin Kibbee, an old bandmate from the Factory who appears in the credits as Fred Martin, and it's the first time that George/Martin byline shows up on a Little Feat record. It's one of the lasting tracks on Sailin' Shoes, the band's second album, a 1972 release produced by Ted Templeman, where they began edging away from the sound of their debut and toward that of Dixie Chicken, stirring pop, rock, blues and country into one pot.
George sings lead and plays guitar, Bill Payne is on keyboards, and original bassist Roy Estrada, on his last album with the group, plays bass and adds backing vocals alongside drummer Richie Hayward, who also handles percussion, with Milt Holland sitting in as a guest percussionist. Donn Landee recorded and mixed it.
