Lowell George wrote both the words and the music for "Rocket In My Pocket", which came out in May 1977 on Time Loves a Hero, Little Feat's sixth studio album, the one wrapped in Neon Park's cover art. Ted Templeman produced, with Donn Landee engineering and Kent Nebergall assisting.
Robert Christgau, weighing up the album, heard a group that had quit being a rock outfit, or even a boogie outfit, and turned into a funk band, and his verdict on the whole was middling. This one he singled out, though, calling it "a Lowell George readymade" of the sort he'd figured George no longer had in him.
