Little Feat
Kickin' It At The Barn
Review by Gary Hill
Little Feat is one of those bands with a loyal following, much like the Dead, Phish and Jimmy Buffett. I am sure that that group of people waits with bated breath for each new release from the band. Well, this latest release from the perennial underrated classic rockers should appeal to more than just that crowd. Indeed, if you like your rock with a bit of a southern edge, or if you like a Latin sound, or just solid song-craft with great jamming, then this disc is for you. It packs a lot of flavors into one album. That means that most likely not every song will be your cup of tea, but a lot probably will. The disc has to get major points for such clever song titles as "Why Don't It Look The Way That It Talk" and "I Do What The Telephone Tells Me To Do". I have never been a big fan of Little Feat, but this disc is definitely a treat.
