Additional Personnel / Information

Personnel: The original lineup was Roy Estrada, bass and backing vocals; Lowell George, vocals, guitar, harmonica; Richie Hayward, drums, backing vocals; and Bill Payne, vocals, keyboards. This was the lineup on the band’s eponymous debut of 1971 and its 1972 follow-up, Sailin’ Shoes. The most famous lineup preserved George, Hayward and Payne, shedding Estrada and adding Paul Barrere, vocals, guitar; Sam Clayton, congas, vocals, percussion; and bassist Kenny Gradney. This was the backbone of the albums from Dixie Chicken through Hoy-Hoy. Let It Roll of 1988, the band’s first studio album without founder George, featured former Pure Prairie League singer Craig Fuller, who also led the band on 1990’s Representing the Mambo, its Warner Brothers finale. Musicians who helped the band over the years – particularly on the post-George albums – include singers Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Bob Seger and Shaun Murphy (who would be its lead singer for a few years in the early ’90s) and multi-instrumentalist Fred Tackett, who’s still in the group. Others who helped out include singers such as one-time Doobie Brother Michael McDonald and Valerie Carter, Steely Dan guitarist Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, jazz saxophonist Michael Brecker and the literate, eccentric Van Dyke Parks, who recorded Feat’s “Sailin’ Shoes” on Discover America, his weird 1972 precursor of what could come to be known as Americana.
