About This Show
Featuring: PAUL BARRERE, SAM CLAYTON, KENNY GRADNEY, RICHIE HAYWARD, SHAUN MURPHY, BILL PAYNE, and FRED TACKETT
Though they had all the trappings of a Southern-fried blues band, Little Feat were hardly conventional. Led by songwriter/guitarist Lowell George, Little Feat was a wildly eclectic band, bringing together strains of blues, R&B, country and rock & roll. The group was exceptionally gifted technically and their polished professionalism sat well with the slick sounds coming out of Southern California during the ’70s. However, Little Feat were hardly slick — they had a surreal sensibility, as evidenced by George’s idiosyncratic songwriting, which helped the band earn a cult following among critics and musicians. Their recent CD, Chinese Work Songs, is proof positive that Little Feat have deserved all the mutual love and respect they share with other musicians as well as their longtime fans, and of the band’s ability to keep the music fresh – even after all these years.
