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:

When the Levon Helm Blues Band appeared at The House Of Blues in Hollywood in the late-90's, Little feat drummer Richie Hayward joined them onstage for a few numbers. The respect the two drummers had for each other was palpable..

"Day at the Dog Races" and "Red Streamliner" by Little Feat are two of my favorite demo tracks.

If you're a Little Village fan, seek out a live recording (FM broadcast) from Denver called "Don't Bug Me When I'm Working." It is a 2 CD set that was recorded in April of 1992 and it is worth seeking out!

Ah yes, love Little Feat. Makes me think of a very short lived, literally, super group, my favorite, The Traveling Wilburys. Roy left first. Now only Jeff and Bob remain. 😞
