Although Sailin' Shoes was Little Feat's second album, released just a year after their self-titled debut, it marks a very clear departure. With all of the songs written by founder Lowell George (rather than the somewhat more democratic compositional approach of LIttle Feat), Sailin' Shoes has a more consistent and defined vision, making it feel like a proper debut. The fact that the band saw no issue with re-recording a track from their first album—George's truck-driving anthem "Willin'," a song so good that when Frank Zappa heard the demo while George was a Mother of Invention, he implored George to go start his own band—tells you that they likely viewed Sailin' Shoes as a real coming-out party. And while the band continues to explore the "southern-bayous-via-southern-California" vibe they staked out on Little Feat, Sailin' Shoes is, just like its Neon Park-painted cover, a much more vibrant and imaginative affair.
