Record of the Day – 005: Time Loves a Hero

Long before “Yacht Rock” was a thing, there was Little Feat. Yep, if you dig a bit (or listen carefully) you’ll hear a few Doobie Brothers’ on this record. Come to think of it back in 1977, when this record was released, it was often spun in rooms full of smoke.

The late Lowell George and Paul Barrere, along with the rest of the Little Feat crew, always put a record together with catchy lyrics, flawless musicianship, and tight grooves.

Recorded at Warner Bros., Western Recorders, and The Record Plant, this album was full of the beach side attitude. Little did those of us that were there, that the men responsible for the cracking production would soon release a record that would change the world only six months later.

Ted Templeman as producer and Donn Landee, would soon bring Van Halen to life – and that was definitely not yacht rock. But more about that later.
