Little Feat started back in ’69 and this is their 16th album - full of what has made them a well-respected band - all kinds of American music - R’n’R, R&B, blues, country, funk, etc. Two covers, the rest originals w/ several co-written by Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. For fans of G.D., Allman Brothers, Steely Dan, New Orleans funk, Zappa. Killer stuff. No FCC’s.
*My Favorites*: 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12.
1. *(3:05) Mid. Mississippi John Hurt classic. Organ, killer guitar.
2. *(4:36) Mid. Country rocker w/ mandolin, violin, handclaps.
3. (5:22) Slow / Mid. Voodoo vibe w/ percussion, mando, piano.
4. (6:32) Mid. Rockin’, bluesy, country w/ guitar, harmonizing.
5. *(5:17) Mid. Upbeat, bluesy w/ big organ, dual vocals.
6. *(4:24) Mid. Dirty rockin’ blues, pounding beat, guitar leads.
7. *(5:26) Mid. A bit R & B, southern rock, catchy and cool.
8. (4:06) Mid. Soulful funk w/ nice percussion, organ, bass, guitar.
9. *(4:25) Mid. Jazzy, funky number w/ horns and percussion.
10. (4:54) Slow. Beautiful trumpet, really slow w/ jazzy voodoo vibe.
11. *(5:51) Mid. Bluesy rocker, w/ solid organ, guitar, percussion.
12. *(4;08) Mid. Willie Dixon classic. Funktified bluesy rocker. Solid.
