Pioneering Southern rock troubadours Little Feat have announced the May 9 release of their forthcoming studio LP, Strike Up The Band. As a preview of the set, the band has shared their initial single, "Too High To Cut My Hair," and the official music video, featuring the theatrics of Lily Winwood playing the role of stoned hairdresser to each member of the band that visits her."Too High To Cut My Hair," presents the ensemble's funk capability with the siphoned blues-fueled cadence of Sam Clayton's classic low C to create a roaring introduction to the band's latest project. The track was written by longtime member, Fred Tackett, who had a large part in crafting lines and lyrics across the album. "Fred Tackett shines all over this record, as he always does, but in particular in his writing," bandleader Bill Payne reaffirmed. Payne explains the backstory behind the single via press release: "'Too High To Cut My Hair' is based on a true story where [Tackett] and his wife Patricia were in a hotel room in New Orleans. Fred had asked for a trim, but decided that she was too high to cut his hair. And then he thought, 'oh my god, what a title!'"He continues, "People love the humor in our records, a cherished entree to those when they find it. So I'm happy this song displays that humor, and in full. It's also got the classic Sam Clayton doing his, three octaves below middle C voice in there - Too High To Cut My Hair! Everyone that has heard it has said, 'That's a Little Feat song,' and I know what they mean!"Little Feat sprinkles the collective wisdom of a 56-year-old band across the 13-track record, granting listeners access to their collective prowess and sonic dexterity on songs like "Bluegrass Pines (Ft. Molly Tuttle, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams), ""4 Days Of Heaven, 3 Days Of Work," "Shipwrecks" and "Midnight Flight." "'Strike Up The Band' really began in the winter of 2019 when I was subbing for Paul Barrere, and he passed away on the day of that first show," says Scott Sharrard, "Continuing through the pandemic shut down (and a lot of practicing and songwriting during that time), to our return to the road in 2021. Then on to our recording field trip to Memphis that resulted in the Grammy Nominated blues album of classic blues covers 'Sam's Place.' That one gave us all the chance to tighten up as a band and re-visit the Rosetta Stone of rock and roll, the blues. We have paid a lot of dues to get here, and all roads have led us to this new album." "When discussing the album with the band and where it sits in our canon," Payne adds. "Our predecessor to this record in my mind was 'Let It Roll.' We are in a similar position to introduce Little Feat once again with this new collection of songs. It is my feeling that, from what we had been playing over the last few years, there's no question the overwhelming majority of fans would accept the album for what it is: an unmistakable iteration of Little Feat that highlights, with great songs and musicianship, the very best of an ongoing legacy, expressly evoking and expanding upon what people think of when they hear Little Feat."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This week we are delving into one of the greats of Southern Rock.  Well, they are southern rock if you count southern California.  Little Feat took its name from a comment Frank Zappa made to his band member Lowell George regarding his having little feet. George would become a founder and driving force behind Little Feat, providing guitar and vocals.  Other members were Paul Barrere on guitar and vocals, Sam Clayton on percussion and vocals, Kenny Gradney on bass, Richie Hayward on drums and vocals, and Bill Payne on keyboards and vocals.Feats Don't Fail Me Now is the band's fourth studio album, and it went to number 36 on the US Top LP's chart.  It is hard to go wrong when, in addition to the regular band members you have the Tower of Power on horns, and backing vocals from Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt.  The album was recorded at Blue Seas Recording Studio in Maryland, and it provided two advantages.  First, it had just opened and needed a band for their "shakedown cruise," letting Little Feat record on the cheap.  Second, it was far away from their home base in Los Angeles, which kept Lowell George away from many familiar temptions of drugs and women.While Lowell George would soon begin to deteriorate in health (he died of a heart attack in 1979), this album shows him and his band at the height of their artistic prowess.  The surviving members of Little Feat would regroup in 1987, and the band continues to perform today.Wayne takes us through this little feat of southen rock for this week's podcast. Feats Don't Fail Me NowThe title track received significant airplay on FM radio and it leads off side two of the album.  That driving bass line and funky drumbeat is sometimes called Country Funk Boogie.  The message of the song is one of perseverance and determination to get back the girl the singer loves.Oh AtlantaIf you were living in the metro-Atlanta area in the 70's or 80's, you definitely are familiar with this song.  Billy Payne takes lead vocal duties on this track, and it features Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris on backing vocals.  "Well, you can drop me off on Peachtree, I got to feel that Georgia sun.  And the women there in Atlanta, they make you awfully glad you come."Spanish MoonThis track was written by Lowell George and features the Tower of Power horn section.  This is a deeper cut, but it has a latin groove while maintaining both a bluesy and funky sound.  The origin of the song is a dream George had of a dangerous nightclub in New Orleans called the Spanish Moon.Rock and Roll DoctorThe song considered the hit off the album is an anthem to the healing power of music.  "Two degress in bebop, a PhD in swing, he's a master of rhythm, he's a rock and roll king."   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the motion picture “Together Brothers”The Love Unlimited Orchestra provided this title track to STAFF PICKS:Radar Love by Golden EarringLynch's starts our staff picks this week with a Dutch rock band originally formed in 1961.  Lead vocalist Barry Hay and guitarist George Kooymans wrote this single that reached number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.  The lyrics describe a man driving a long way to be with his love, and communicating with her through a mystical bond he calls "radar love."Keep on Smilin' by Wet WillieBruce features the title track from Wet Willie's third studio album.  It is their biggest hit, reaching number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The song itself is rather stoic, encouraging the listener to keep smiling through the difficulties and pain of life.The Night Chicago Died by Paper LaceRob's staff pick is a story telling song that topped the US chart for one week in 1974.  The lyrics describe a shoot-out between the Chicago Police and Al Capone's gangsters, and worries from the wife of a police officer that her husband wouldn't make it home.  The song ends on a positive note when her husband walks through the door.Beach Baby by The First ClassWayne brings us a British band made up of all session players.  They call themselves "the first class" because they considered themselves to be a kind of supergroup of the UK music session set.  This song would be a one-hit wonder, reaching number 4 in the US, but other singles would not see the same level of success. NOVELTY TRACK:Rub It In by Billy "Crash" CraddockThis novelty song hit the top of the country charts.  It may be more familiar as the jingle from Glade air fresheners, where they sing, "plug it in."

In addition to co-founding the Dixie Dregs together in Augusta, Georgia, in 1970, both virtuosos have colorful personal resumes. Guitar giant Morse's is more high-profile. He remains the leader of the Steve Morse Band, who opened the Dregs's late April show at Nashville's CMA Theater, where this Rundown was filmed, with 45 minutes of smart shred. He's also been a member of Kansas and Deep Purple, as well as another instrumental powerhouse, Flying Colors.Besides his tenure in the Dregs, West has recorded with Vinnie Moore, the Steve Morse Band, Paul Barrere, and Henry Kaiser, with whom he's been a member of the Mistakes, Crazy Backwards Alphabet, and Five Time Surprise, which also includes Messthetics guitarist Anthony Pirog. (Full disclosure: I recorded a version of Steppenwolf's “The Pusher” with Kaiser and West as part of Kaiser's Moods & Modes of Halloween video quarterly in 2023.)The Music City show was classic Dixie Dregs, with more than two hours of high-wire playing, all anchored by the bold melodies that mark their compositions. Joined by longtime Dregs drummer Rod Morgenstein, violinist Allen Sloan, and keyboard player Steve Davidowski, the concert was an affirmation of Morse and West's vitality and musical partnership after sharing stages for more than 50 years.

In the late 1960s, Lowell George was playing rhythm guitar in Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention when Zappa suggested George leave the band. There are conflicting versions as to why: Zappa believed George was too talented to be a backing player, he did not like the drug references in George's song “Willin',” or Zappa didn't appreciate George's fondness for pot. Regardless, George left. He connected with Roy Estrada, who had played bass in the Mothers of Invention, drummer Richie Hayward and keyboardist Bill Payne. The foursome became Little Feat, one of the most distinctive and influential bands in rock history; while “Willin'” would become one of Little Feat's most recognizable songs. As bands often do, that Little Feat lineup evolved and expanded, lasting about a decade and producing a series of critically acclaimed albums. In 1979, George dissolved Little Feat due to artistic differences with Payne and then died of a heart attack later that year at age 34. “I never quite understood Lowell's reticence to jazz,” Payne told me on the most recent episode of The Load Out Music Podcast. “I don't know, maybe he was ahead of us or we were behind.” Payne relishes all that was, and remains, of Little Feat – Lowell George included. He loves that people of all stripes still pack into music venues to see the band play, grooving side-by-side to the sounds of Little Feat songs like “Dixie Chicken” or “Fat Man in the Bathtub.” Yet, he's deeply concerned with what's occurring in American culture. “When you walk outside the concert hall, I find it tougher to hold a conversation with people that don't appreciate voting rights,” he said. “What's happening with this country and the world is beyond frightening.” Payne feels like when Little Feat plays music, however, “all those lines disappear.” Like Jeff Beck on guitar or Freddie Mercury's vocals, Payne is revered for what he can do on the keys. His work on the barrelhouse blues piano and Hammond B3 organ is legendary – considered one of the definitive rock-and-roll piano greats along with Leon Russell, Elton John and several others. Payne is so respected, in fact, that he has worked with a who's who of music elite including The Doobie Brothers, Phil Lesh, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Brown, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Robert Palmer and the list goes on and on. About a decade after George dissolved Little Feat, Payne reformed the band with holdovers Paul Barrere, Sam Clayton, Kenny Gradney and Hayward. Craig Fuller seamlessly slid into the lead vocal role and the band released Let It Roll in 1987. The album went on to become an instant success, earning Little Feat its first No. 1 hit on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, becoming certified gold and reviving interest in the band's early works. Payne said Little Feat has always an “elastic” idea and its success – from 1969 to this day – remains a product of the band's musicianship. “I think it's a direct correlation to the music,” said Payne. “It connects because of the music. Yes, we miss Lowell. Lowell was a defining and distinct voice…When it works, it works because people can grasp what the idea of what that music was and is.” More than five decades after starting Little Feat, Payne is also the last man standing. He is the only original band member still with the band. During our conversation on The Load Out, we cover a lot of ground over about an hour. Payne and I discuss his astonishing career in-and-out of Little Feat, reflections on George dissolving the band, the various incarnations of the group, Payne's love for making music and sadness for those who've passed, as well as his concerns regarding race and politics. We also zero-in on perhaps the only missing piece from Little Feat's 50-year resume: Sitting on the outside looking in at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – a remarkable hole for the group Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page calls his favorite American band. “Yeah, I'd like to see that for Little Feat,” Payne said. “I think it's well deserved. I think that if Little Feat can't get it, who the hell should?” For any concerns he may have, Payne still finds solace in the “community” that is Little Feat. Over a half-century, it's been a revolving yet consistently diverse collection of players with varied beliefs and backgrounds that has endures even now. “Music is about community,” he told me. “Art is about community.” The legendary Bill Payne has a lot to say, so sit back, enjoy and have a listen to the most recent episode of The Load Out Music Podcast.

El nuevo single de la banda tejana Mike And The Moonpies inicia un nuevo domingo de música vaquera. Paycheck to Paycheck es una brutal crónica de cómo vivir semana a semana, gastando la paga en licores y honky-tonking y recordando al outlaw Johnny Paycheck. Los Flatlanders tienen una versión de Dylan y un tesoro de amor para compartir con el virginiano John R. Miller y su fantástico disco Depreciated. Los Flatland Cavalry echan mano del violín y la voz de Cleto Cordero para contarnos historias épicas, como las de Sierra Ferrell o Erin Enderlin, dos compositoras y voces de categoría, como Pokey LaFarge quien canta las maravillas de “derechos sociales” en Rotterdam. Bela Fleck vuelve por sus lares de bluegrass alternativo y jazzy. Y Little Feat, después de 51 años de su formación, nos regala un gran tema compuesto por los cofundadores Bill Payne y Tom Garnsey, incluyendo homenaje al fallecido guitarrista Paul Barrere, quien falleció hace un año. Claro, Lowell George hace mucho más, en 1979. Charley Crockett nos cuenta historias de su suroeste tejano antes de cerrar con el Bluebird de Buffalo Springfield, que acompaña al For What It's Worth, que escuchamos la semana pasada. De bonus, un lamento de Rodney Crowell.Mike And The Moonpies, Paycheck to PaycheckThe Flatlanders, She Belongs to MeThe Flatlanders, Treasure of LoveJohn R. Miller, Lookin' Over My ShoulderJohn R.

I have been marinating in different regional pockets of music for quite sometime. The pockets of this country where unique music developed because of culture, heritage and a need for individuality. Of late the great state of Louisiana has been turning round inside as I have interviewed Ellis Marsalis, Allan Toussaint and last weekend Leo Nocentelli. Those cats call New Orleans home with all the beauty and bumps, they saw their individuality accentuated, they saw their families moving upward and they knew that the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. These are values instilled in my guests generation and harder to find In younger generations like my own. The deep sense of insecurity which is actually the path that drives to you to coalesce around a group of artists who are intent on understanding, listening and trusting in the transcendental musical experience where you leave your physical body. My guest is from Baton Rouge Louisiana but for reasons I have yet to uncover wound up in the burgeoning LA studio scene playing bass with Delaney and Bonnie displaying the art of the rhythm section with Jim Keltner - he himself a transplant from Tulsa. This honky tonk soul outfit was spurred on by the original blues masters and liquid pure psychedelia which was legal at that time. This culminated in The Festival Express. A steam locomotive rolling down the track with Rick Danko, Phil Lesh and my guest. He can be heard in this documentary of Tricksters as they careened across Canada. My guest is a decorated bass player who is in the same master discussion as Leroy Vinnegar, Scott Lefaro and John Kahn. He has a really deep pocket that allows his bandmates to settle inside, develop different themes and sequence the ideas without being rushed. When Bill Payne auditioned my guest for the band Little Feat he was blown away because everything the eclectic Payne threw at my guest he could handle. This jack of all trades mentality led to the greatest run in that bands history along with rhythm mate Richie Hayward. Again the art of the rhythm section at work. Swing the band and lock the groove while your waiting for Columbus. My guest has been somewhat of a hired gun for blues rock amalgamations looking for those Cajun/Zydeco influences. Take Bobby Weir who brought in my guest in early '83 to play in the Midnights with rhythm mate Billy Cobham. He has worked with incredible unsung musicians his whole life striving to create real music with his own sound. How did he acquire his own sound? He did it on the bandstand playing with Paul Barrere and Bobby Cochran, Sam Clayton and Chico Hamilton. He continues performing today in a new world that seems to want to dislodge from the gravity of the universe and unhinge itself. Freedom at its best and most frightening (conversely) is when there are no parameters. Throw away the charts cone up with a groove or a feel and see where it goes. Sometimes it won't go anywhere but when it does head out like Ornette Coleman, Lowell George or Jorma Kaukonen it is unexplainable and provides the concentric unison of the circle of magic and the circle of music..... Knowing the sun rises and sets for all, Kenny Gradney welcome to the JFS. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jake-feinberg/support

In the context of the live music experience it is imperative that your focus remains on listening and improvising off your bandmates. It's beyond the music, it's a focus that should be able to take those with small musical pallets and take them on a ride with their own sailin shoes through a journey of music of the Americas. By that I mean Congo Square, Dixieland, Bayou Funk, Jam Based, roadhouse blues and melodic invention. Keeping the pocket with slanting rhythms and slide work around the guitar of Lowell George, the organ of Stu Gardner and the congas of Sam Clayton, the plaintiff wailing of Bonnie Raitt or just taking his time with Billy Kreutzman. My guest today has made the most of experiential learning on the bandstand. Little Feat is a band that has seen many different iterations but always maintained the essence of a live musical extravaganza. Not many American Roots contingents can speak to this.....maybe Rick Danko and Richard Manuel, Levon Helm and The Band. Maybe Jerry Garcia the aforementioned BK and the Grateful Dead, or Leroy Vinegar Gerald Wilson and the big bands of Burbank and Shelly's Mannehole where Art Blakey's high hat work was hypnotic and pulsating similar to the sack of magic mushrooms that audience members would indulge prior to a Allen Toussaint laden Feat show @ Ebbots Field. My guest today has been all around this world performing at a prodigious clip in the live music setting. He came of age when you could see Ravi Shankar jam with Elvin Jones and Milt Jackson ringing the vibes in an acoustic non amplified beer tavern. He saw his heroes up close, be it Mongo's Afro blue or the Crusaders talking Tough. When he had learned his instrument he was able to speak in musical tounges, still in small clubs that might have Commander Cody on MT, Freddie Hubbard on WTH and a weekend of Dixie Chickens. This diversification is unique to my guests brotherhood. Influences of Ellington, Dizzy, John Lee Hooker, Bill Monroe and all the blind dobro players who played on Market Street in Chicago or in Queens, NY or a professor with long hair in Nawleans. My guest has taken all that he has heard and seen and melded into his music and his ability to entertain. He continues to have something to say. Like Lionel Hampton or Frank Zappa my guest would often put the crowd at ease with off the cuff remarks about being a canary in a coal mine or a riverboat gambler.....keeping things loose and creating space within the music. He knows that if he doesn't stay active he might have dirt thrown on him. Still Willin to put it all out there, Paul Barrere welcome to the JFS. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jake-feinberg/support
