Little Feat may have misplaced authentic individuals since forming in 1969, however they nonetheless brandish supernatural chops and signature Louisiana swagger, as long-time conga participant Sam Clayton steps as much as take care of vocals with gruff aplomb on their first blues-based album.
With authentic keyboard participant Invoice Payne and bassist Kenny Gradney joined through guitarist Fred Tackett, slide guitarist Scott Sharrard, drummer Tony Leone and harmonica maestro Michael ‘Bull’ LoBoe, Feat seamlessly plug in to the Willie Dixon- Muddy Waters songbook (with the exception of Clayton’s brass- encumbered opener Milk Guy), with Bonnie Raitt duetting at the latter’s Lengthy Distance Name.
Easy virtuosity and undying idiosyncratic tropes carry 9 tracks recorded at Sam Phillips Studio in Memphis (excluding for the reside Were given My Mojo Workin’).
Listening to the Feat flaming on dazzling shape greater than 50 years after early landmark albums reminiscent of Dixie Rooster and Feats Do not Fail Me Now Is oddly reassuring in those turbulent occasions.
