Little Feat Announce Expanded 'Sailin' Shoes' and 'Dixie Chicken'

Two of Little Feat's best-known albums, 1972's Sailin' Shoes and 1973's Dixie Chicken, will be reissued this year. Both sets feature remastered versions of the original albums, plus previously unreleased live and studio recordings. The sets will be released on June 23 and will be available in two-CD and three-LP formats. Both are available for preorder.

The 2023 edition of Sailin' Shoes includes alternate versions of “Cold, Cold, Cold,” “A Apolitical Blues” and “Willin,'" plus a previously unreleased complete concert that was recorded at the Palladium in Los Angeles on Aug. 28, 1971.

The deluxe edition of Dixie Chicken also includes several unreleased session recordings of tracks like "Roll Um Easy,” “On Your Way Down” and “Juliette," as well as live performances recorded at Paul’s Mall in Boston on March 1, 1973.

Ahead of the release, a demo version of "Sailin' Shoes" and an alternate take of "Dixie Chicken" are available for listening now.

You can see the complete track listings for both collections below.

Little Feat will hit the road this fall for The Albums Tour, performing both Sailin' Shoes and Dixie Chicken in their entireties. The band is currently on the Boogie Your Spring Away tour, which lasts until August. More information can be found on Little Feat's website.
