\"Little+Feat\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We grew up on the phenomenal music of Little Feat<\/strong><\/a>, the southern funk-rock-boogie extraordinaires led by Lowell George<\/strong>, guitar-genius Paul Barrere<\/strong> and Santa Barbara County’s <\/strong> own Billy Payne<\/strong>.\u00a0 Many a summertime was filled with the music of Little Feat<\/strong> and any or all of their first seven, all-time albums, not least of which was Feats Don’t Fail Me<\/strong> (which you can listen to in its entirety below).\u00a0 Check out below a great live vignette of the band performing one of their greats, Dixie Chicken<\/strong><\/em>, on Burt Sugarman’s The Midnight Special<\/strong> in1977, with a young Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt<\/strong> and Jesse Winchester<\/strong>.\u00a0 Too dang good.\u00a0 They were one of the best live bands we have ever witnessed, having caught them repeatedly in the ’70s in ole, vaunted Robertson Gym<\/strong> (UCSB<\/strong>) and elsewhere in Santa Barbara County.<\/p>\n

After Dixie Chicken<\/strong><\/em>, listen to Feats Don’t Fail Me Now<\/strong>.\u00a0 Every song is a masterpiece of rock, funk, soul, fusion, prog and everything in between or combined.\u00a0 Here’s the album’s tracklist so you can play along at home:<\/p>\n
