Neon Park - cover art

Dixie Chicken is the 3rd studio album by the American rock band Little Feat, released in 1973. The artwork for the front cover was by illustrator Neon Park  and is a reference to a line from the album's third track, the song "Roll Um Easy".

The album is considered their landmark album with the title track as their signature song that helped further define the Little Feat sound. This was augmented by two additional members (guitarist Paul Barrere and percussionist Sam Clayton) added to make the more complete and familiar lineup that continued until their 1979 breakup following the death of Lowell George. Bassist Kenny Gradney was brought in to replace original bassist Roy Estrada, who had left after the band's second album Sailin' Shoes to join Captain Beefheart's Magic Band. This new lineup radically altered the band's sound, leaning toward New Orleans R&B/funk. It was voted number 563 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums 3rd Edition (2000).
