Jazz - FTN17735

Forty years into an iconic career that has produced dozens of wonderful songs and a host of admiring musical peers, Little Feat has united the two with a new release, Join the Band, that features some of their classic tunes Fat Man in the Bathtub, Dixie Chicken, Sailing Shoes, Oh, Atlanta - re-recorded with creative friends like Dave Matthews, Jimmy Buffett, Sonny Landreth, Emmylou Harris among many others, as well as new material like Woody Guthries This Land Is Your Land.
A distinctive and eclectic blend of rock, funk, folk, jazz, country, rockabilly, and New Orleans swamp boogie, Little Feats musical style was forged when Lowell George was fired from Frank Zappas Mothers of Invention and told to form his own band. Bill Payne, Richie Hayward and Roy Estrada joined with him to create Little Feat, a band that would continue recording, touring and transcending musical boundaries long after the tragic and premature death of its founder.
Join The Band was an idea born in 2004 just after original Little Feat keyboardist Billy Payne had played on Jimmy Buffetts chart topping album, License to Chill.
Jimmy suggested flying the band out to his Shrimp Boat Sound studios in Key West to put together the all star project that had been planned for years prior.
With the production team of Payne and Buffett associates Mac McAnally and Alan Schulman in place, the project began to take shape.
Adored and revered by generations of pop, country and rock superstars, Little Feat are an American institution, and the guest artists on Join the Band are a testament to the groups prominence even today.
