Little Feat

A truly great Little Feat show, outdoors at a beautiful outdoor venue (The Tree House Brewing Company). With the General Admission structure, my Lady and I were able to stand within ten feet of the stage, in a sea of happy, dancing, Little Feat fellow fanatics and soak in an awesome exhibition of Little Feat's genius-level musical virtuosity. The Band rocked and jammed through a long set that hit on almost all of my favorite Little Feat sings. The audience danced, sang, cheered, whistled, and generally rocked out to some of the best music from perhaps the most talented group of musicians ever to grace a stage. I feel privileged to witness such virtuosity live, especially since the average age of the current Little Feat lineup is mid-seventies. I've been a Little Feat fan since I "discovered' their music in 1975 in my freshman year of college, and the Band did themselves proud. They were every bit as good as any of the many shows I have been privileged to attend. I plan to catch as many Little Feat shows as I possibly can while this brilliant group of musicians is still touring, and according to Bill Payne, keyboardist extraordinaire, there is a new Little Feat due out next year. Meantime, I encourage any and all Feat Fans to check out Sam's Place, a new album of the best new music I've heard in years. I thought it was a new Little Feat album when I first heard it on Spotify, but now I suspect it is a Sam Clayton work. Sam Clayton is a long-time member of Little Feat who is a renowned percussionist and blues musician. The album was the best new blues music I've heard in forever.
