Mazzy loves Little Feat!

 

If you don’t (yet), her’s a primer on this great American musical institution:

While I’m at it, here’s another. Well, 3/4th’s American anyway; Nick Lowe is English. Little Village (just a coincidence ;-) live is one of the greatest musical experiences of my life. One of the few "Super Groups" (John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, Jim Keltner) who in my book actually lives up to that title. Their single album was a disappointment, they were better as a group on John Hiatt’s fantastic Bring The Family album. Here they are on The Tonight Show, the only time I can remember in which the musical guest is given the time to perform two songs:

Probably saw Little Feat 4-5 times. Had Bring the Family on the 

 turntable last night. Hard to beat Lipstick Sunset and Have a Little Faith back to back.

I loved the LV lp! Ever get the EU vinyl Eric? .

BTW, I have 4 Little Feat deluxe lps from Rhino. Very enjoyable.

Great performance.

Yeah; I bought that record . . what a let down. But we’ll always have "Bring the Family" to savor.

I’ve only seen Hiatt once. He didn’t bring along any sidemen on that tour and didn’t need any. He had us in palm of his hand for the entire show. A top-tier singer-songwriter, yes, but also a great entertainer.
