The high standard which the musicians maintain over the two sides of the LP is established with ""Hi Roller"", a funky, energetic opening number. The multi-part title number ""Times Loves A Hero"" follows on with a more subdued tempo but with great dive and sophisticated percussion, which proves itself to be the most important element and governs the whole album. Little Feat conjures with traditional forms, gets you on the dance floor with ""Old Folks Boogie"" and serves up a tasty mixture of honky-tonk and blues, which is refined with powerful guitar solos.
