Rooster Rag

Biography

Though they had all the trappings of a Southern-fried blues band, Little Feat were hardly conventional. Led by songwriter/guitarist Lowell George, Little Feat were a wildly eclectic band, bringing together strains of blues, R&B, country, and rock & roll. The bandmembers were exceptionally gifted technically and their polished professionalism sat well with the slick sounds coming out of ... Read more in Amazon's Little Feat Store

Editorial Reviews

2012 release, the 15th album of original material by the Blues Rock veterans. Rooster Rag is the band's first album of all new studio material since 20003's Kickin' It At The Barn. Four of the songs were written by former Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter in collaboration with keyboard player Bill Payne now the only musician to have played with every line-up of the group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rooster Rag - no rust on that bird! June 26, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
It's been 9 years since the last release of new material, and Little Feat is stronger than ever. Typically varied in styles, there is a cohesiveness to this record that shows to real strengths and maturity of the band. From the fun country-influenced title cut "Rooster Rag" to the sensual "Church Falling Down" to the filthy "Candy Man Blues" on through to the crunching groove of "Mellow Down Easy", this is a record that scores on all levels.

This is another classic from one the of most under-appreciated yet most influential bands in the world.

Great Stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars The tradition continues... Don't miss this! June 27, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Albums like this come along only so often. And when they come from one of America's best and longest running rock n' roll bands, you just have to stop for a moment and hear what the Feat are up to. They never disappoint in the studio or on stage. And on Rooster Rag, they strut with their best. The title track has a sweet Appalachian feel, with some smooth crooning by Bill Payne that will immediately reacquaint you with the band's talent and genre-switching tendencies. They switch gears regularly on this album. There's the hard-charging, tightly wound Just a Fever that dares you to sit still and leave the volume down. It's a freewheeling Paul Barrere showcase with an incredibly smashing beat that is augmented by Bill Payne's signature piano work, drummer Gabe Ford's fierce timekeeping and Fred Tackett's spicy mandolin work. Candyman Blues, a crowd favorite of the band's live performances for years, finally makes its debut on a studio album and it was worth the wait! It's been around since the 1920s, but has never been played quite like this! A must hear. So, too, is A Church Falling Down, a gem written and sung by Fred Tackett and punctuated by fine mandolin and slide guitar work and mesmerizing keyboard and percussion work. Listen for Kenny Gradney's looming bass; it truly fills out the song. But the ride isn't over after that. Not by a long shot. When you hear that blazing guitar at the start of One Breath at a Time, followed by the sweet harmonizing of Fred Tackett, Paul Barrere and Sam Clayton and some enchanting Hammond B3 support by Bill Payne you'll find yourself all funked up and dying for more. The album has so much more, and truly deserves your attention. Buy it if you love Little Feat. Buy it if you appreciate great music. Then close the doors and crank it up!! FEAT! Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another one out of the park June 26, 2012
Format:Audio CD
This band, over 40 years, has always been able to produce albums that I can listen to non-stop from start to finish. They did it again, not a clinker in the whole thing. Some great collaborations between Bill Payne and Robert Hunter!

Have loved L.F. since the start in the 60's,and they just keep getting better and better.
Truly a band that other great bands can use as a benchmark.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great music, mediocre production
5 stars to the band for their music. But the recording company/engineer should look for another job. On my stereo, this CD does not sound crystal clear, in the room with you. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the little feat I like
I've always liked Little Feat but this cd really hasn't anything to offer.
Why can't they make cds like Dixie chicken and Feats don't fail me now?

A great album took me back to the Skin It Back, Last record album. They played some songs at a show I went to off this album and it as awsome. The Feat still got the Beat. Read more
