Time Loves a Hero is the sixth studio album by Little Feat and it was released in 1977. Little Feat was formed by lead vocalist and guitarist Lowell George and keyboardist Bill Payne in 1969. George disbanded the group due to creative differences in 1979, shortly before his death. Little Feat was one of my favorite American bands of the 1970s. I bought this record when it came out and it still sounds good. It reminds me of my college years. The music has a timeless quality.
Little Feat's music was a quirky combination of rock, country, blues, New Orleans, jazz fusion, R&B, and funk. On the early albums, there was a strong New Orleans/Dr. John influence. The lyrics were often surreal. “Time Loves a Hero” is a more conventional rock album and it has guitar solos. For me, the standout track is "Day at The Dog Races" which is a brilliant six-minute jazz-fusion instrumental.
The band consisted of guitarist/vocalist Lowell George, guitarist/vocalist Paul Barrere, keyboardist Bill Payne, bassist Ken Gradney, drummer Richie Hayward, and percussionist Sam Clayton. George and Barrere both came from Los Angeles and their parents had movie industry connections. Gradney and Clayton were both originally from Louisiana. Payne was from Texas and Hayward from Iowa. The band members are excellent musicians and have a long list of session credits. Elton John described Payne as one of the best keyboard players he has ever heard. The album was produced by Ted Templeman, who was an in-demand producer in the 1970s. He also produced the Doobie Brothers, Van Morrison, Aerosmith, Carly Simon, Tracy Chapman, and Van Halen.
The band was championed by the likes of Bob Dylan, Jimmy Page, and Mick Jagger in the 1970s. Unfortunately, the band has been overlooked by the public and they deserved to sell more records. A hit single would have helped. This album reached #8 in Britain and #34 in the U.S. Little Feat reformed in 1987 and is still going strong. This album deserves to be remastered the sound quality could be better.
Time Loves a Hero would be a return to form after their previous uneven release, The Last Record Album. Paul Barrere and Bill Payne would officially become the chief songwriters of the band as Lowell George's contributions would be limited to just two songs, one of which was co-written with Barrere. Their most eclectic album, Time Loves a Hero boasted a stronger track list as well as a confidence that was sorely lacking on The Last Record Album.
"Hi Roller", is next to the title track from Dixie Chicken, their best opening track. Lowell George's vocals show more conviction than anything on The Last Record Album while Kenny Gradney, Sam Clayton, and Richard Hayward lay down a sick groove. The Tower of Power horn section would make their first appearance on this track and would later play a pivotal role on their excellent live album, Waiting for Columbus. The title track, a staple of their live shows to this day, is one of their catchiest tracks, and features a great sing along chorus and a cool island feel ala Jimmy Buffett during the solo. George's "Rocket in My Pocket" is also very good, featuring some more of his distinctive slide work. "Day at the Dog Races" is not only one of Little Feat's best tracks but also one of the best documents of the fusion genre. Bill Payne and Richard Hayward are incredible on this track while Paul Barrere's slow burning solo is one of his best. At over 6 minutes, the track stays exciting throughout and never becomes indulgent. "Old Folks Boogie" is another great Barrere tune and its wordplay reminds you of something that George would have written during the Dixie Chicken era. After these tracks, the album slips a bit. The decent "Red Streamliner", with both its arrangement and guest vocals from Michael McDonald and Patrick Simmons, sounds way too much like the Doobie Brothers. "Keepin' up With the Joneses", with its cool sax solo, and the pretty acoustic ballad "Missin' You" are solid but not spectacular. "New Delhi Freight Train" is the only track that's not up to par. A step up from The Last Record Album, Time Loves a Hero would be the band's last good studio album before George's untimely death in 1979. Definitely worth checking out for the first five tracks, especially "Day at the Dog Races."
As far as I’m concerned this was their best album we used to play this in my store in Provincetown call Tumbleweed connection brought back good memories of the 70s
Very good classic Little Feat album.This almost ranks up their with the excellent "Last Record Album" and should be very much in the collection of loyal fans.The song "Rocket in my Pocket" and "Red stream Liner" are wonderful.The latter has some great harmonies going on....the outtake of the latter is also superb on their fantastic live "Waiting for Columbus".Should stand the test of time and is a hero for me!
I gather that this is not rated highly as a Little Feat album. But it's the only one I know, and I love it! Lowell George funks out, and the riffs are just the jazzy side of rock, with interesting little extra bars and odd time signiatures. Day at the Dog Races is still the (instrumental) highlight. The older I get the more I like Old Folks Boogie. And Missing You is a lovely poignant litle coda. Musically and lyrically it's a really rich and interesting set of tracks.
