Little Feat-Barnstormin’ Live

Over the years Little Feat became more of a Jam Band and this live CD is a good example of that. These tracks were recorded on their 2004 tour. Bill Payne, Kenny Gradney, Sam Clayton and Paul Barrere have been in the band since 1972 and by 2004 they are really jamming together well. Second guitarist Fred Tackett joined in 1979 and singer Shaun Murphy who made an album with Meatloaf in 1971 under the name Stoney joined the band in 1993 She stayed with the band until 2009. Both times I have seen the band was when she was a member. Passing over more familiar songs(only one “Rocket In My Pocket” written by founder Lowell George) these are more recent songs with a cover of a Little Walker song sung by Sam Clayton. Some nice jams in the 16 minute “One Clear Moment>Just Another Sunday” with solos on keyboards, guitar and trumpet by Tackett.
