Little Feat is an American rock band that originated in 1969, founded by vocalist and guitarist Lowell George and keyboardist Bill Payne. The band is renowned for its eclectic blend of rock, blues, R&B, country, and folk, characterized by intricate harmonies and complex, syncopated rhythms. Lowell George's distinct slide guitar work and the band's overall tight musicianship were defining features of their sound. Their most influential work, the album "Dixie Chicken" (1973), is often cited as a touchstone of Southern rock.
