Sailin’ Shoes was the follow up album from the Los Angeles rock band Little Feat. It received a degree of critical acclaim at the time that would be translated into commercial success within a few years.

“Little Feat follow up their great debut album with a little more polish, and it works because while they smooth out some edges, but don't mess with the soulful heart of their music.”

"Sailin’ Shoes sees the band expand their sound and influences, skipping across genres with effortless ease. If the debut had suffered from the odd misstep then the follow up is marred by no such faults, it's as near perfect as 70s rock music has to offer.”

“It contains some of the catchiest southern rock songs you'll ever hear. There's not a single track that’s filler, and you come to believe that every track is played for a purpose and resonates with a deeper meaning.”

“This is as close to a perfect album as Little Feat recorded. Definitely their best work. In time they would record more adventurous and experimental tracks, but this is the album where it all came together. Great writing and playing with amazing vocals, it's all here, and proves why Little Feat are perhaps the most underrated band of all time.”

“Instantly likeable bluesy rock, country blues, piano boogie, country, raw blues, with a ballad, and a furious rocker. The moment you hear the fabulous intro of Easy To Slip, you know that Sailin' Shoes is the record to put on when you want to introduce Little Feat to someone unfamiliar with the band.”

“The songs have very memorable melodies, great arrangements and lasting power. A mix between ballads and rockers, the band does both well which helps to balance out the album.”

“Little Feat really got going on the second record, and it shows on this one. A great mix of blues, rock, gospel and more.”
