There's a Fat Man in the Bathtub

Little Feat may be may favorite band ever, and after catching Feats at Five on Margaritaville on my radio they have been all I've listened to since. I absolutely love southern rock and blues rock and nobody does it better than Little Feat. This is one of those bands I first heard when I inherited my dad's original white iPod back in the 5th grade. Unfortunately, in my shortsightedness I removed them because they weren't some awful hip-pop one hit wonder. Last year I wised-up and decided to give dad's dinoPod a second chance. That was a good call. They have been my go-to band ever since and I can't think of any other band that could fill that role.

This song, Fat Man in the Bathtub is definitely one of my favorites and has some of the most interesting sound I've heard. I love the rougher voice of lead singer Lowell George, I love the blues, rock, and Latin elements in the song and the way they come together so well. I think this song, and Little Feat have some of the best examples of blended styles and rhythms I'm familiar with.

Anyways, this is Fat Man in the Bathtub recorded for the BBC back in the day. It comes from the 1973 album Dixie Chicken.

I'm sure that there will be another post or two in the school year that at the least mentions Little Feat, but I wanted to kick off the year with some music I feel pretty strongly about.
