Willin': The Story of Little Feat -- Ben Fong-Torres

<b>The saga of the legendary Los Angeles band Little Feat is one of rock 'n' roll's great stories. Formed in 1969 by ex-members of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, Little Feat created groove-heavy music that was an irresistible mix of rock, blues, R&B, country, jazz, soul, and funk.</b> <p/> Fronted by the charismatic but doomed vocalist and brilliant slide guitarist Lowell George, the band recorded such classic studio albums as <i>Sailin' Shoes</i> and <i>Dixie Chicken</i>, as well as <i>Waiting for Columbus</i>, which many consider to be one of the best live albums of all time. <p/> Acclaimed journalist Ben Fong-Torres -- working with Little Feat's surviving members, their friends, and associates -- wrote <i>Willin'</i> based on hours of brand new interviews with the key players. The result? The first definitive biography of this beloved rock 'n' roll institution.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Ben Fong-Torres<br><b>Publisher:</b> Da Capo Press<br><b>Published:</b> 06/01/2015<br><b>Pages:</b> 296<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.70lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.70h x 5.50w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780306823633<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Ben Fong-Torres</b> is a journalist, author, and broadcaster, best known for his work in <i>Rolling Stone</i> and the <i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>.
