Sam's Place


I had no idea. A total surprise to discover a new Little Feat album. Released this year on their Hot Tomato record label.

I've been a huge fan since their late 1980's reformation. 

This one with all lead vocals by their percussionist and occasional (until now) lead vocalist, Sam Clayton. There's also a duet with Bonnie Raitt. Great blues sounds. 

Little Feat always reminds me of my old friend Mitch. (R.I.P.). He was a huge fan of their 1970's music and the vocals of Lowell George. He would refuse, despite all my efforts and offers to make mix-tapes and cd's, to listen to anything the band recorded after Lowell George's passing in the late 1970's which is about the time that I began paying attention to their sounds through a Jackson Browne bootleg album containing the song, "Long Distance Love."
