New album Sam’s Place out May 17
Remembering Lowell George April 13, 1945 - June 29, 1979. “Feathers and a Smile” is by Lowell George and Bill Payne. It was recorded as part of the “Crazy Gunboat Willie Suite” in August, 1970.
Always loved the drums and percussion of Little Feat. Does the new drummer play in that same style. The snap of the snare ?? Wish they played closer because I’d go see them
Looking forward to the 50th anniversary edition of *Feats Don’t Fail Me Now”
I’m trying to work this into rotation with my band that jams into and out of songs and I’m having my ear twisted. I’m thinking Cminor but am i off?

Little Feat drummer, Tony Leone, reported that Little Feat have started recording at the Blackbird Studios in Nashville. This is great news! Blackbird is a world class facility. Looking forward to Sam’s Place and more new music on the way!
Sam’s Place is Little Feat’s first new studio album in 12 years. It’s their love letter to the blues entitled, Sam’s Place. The album features Sam Clayton on lead vocals for the whole record, and it’s their first studio album with their newest members Scott Sharrard and Tony Leone who joined forces with Sam, Bill Payne, Kenny Gradney, and Fred Tackett to make this record. The album was recorded at Sam Phillip’s Studio in Memphis, TN. It’s got classic blues songs written by legends such as Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon and a new original song called “Milkman” written by Sam, Scott, and Fred. Their old friend, Bonnie Raitt, also provides guest vocals on the song, “Long Distance Call.” Sam’s Place comes out May 17.

I have searched everywhere, up and down the DarkNet, under every nasty-smelling corner of The Internetz - and I cannot find, for the life of me, the ORIGINAL version of Eldorado Slim
You know - the one with the STORY attached to the front - about how Eldorado Slim is riding in his '59 Buick, in shell pink, around the town, and spies this chick, this little hippy-dippy chick, with TOMATOES - and she's standing there by the side of the road, and she's doin' all right, so Slim slides his Buick up to her, rolls down the windows [sound of windows rolling down - like a 'schwooop' sound . . . ] - and he leans out of the window and says to the hippy chick, "Why don't you come on in here and SNORT SOME C**E ?? !!"
And then, and only then, does the band kick in, everybody all at once, with that unforgettable beat . . .
Yeah - what happened to that, in my view, vastly superior version?

My mom and I have been trying to find a cover of Willin' for the past hour. She heard it a lot on the radio in the 1970's, and says it had a faster tempo and sounded more rock, like The Eagles. We have listened to many of the popular covers and none of them are it.
