Little Feat: Rooster Rag
Rounder
For Little Feat’s 15th studio album—and first ever without drummer Richie Hayward— the durable rock ‘n’ roots band hooks up with Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, upping the jammy feel of an already groove-intensive style. Hunter’s collaborations with keyboardist Bill Payne—which are among the album’s best tunes—include the acoustic Americana of the title track that could be a lost track from The Band; the nostalgic, road-cruising “Rag Top Down;” and the chugging blues bruiser “Way Down Under.” The group taps vintage blues tunes, too, including the rambunctious Mississippi John Hurt opener “Candy Man Blues” and Little Walter’s one-chord closer “Mellow Down Easy,” with Kim Wilson on harp. Fred Tackett contributes several gems—“Jamaica Will Break Your Heart” likely was inspired by the band’s annual Caribbean concert bashes.
