We're just about to post my review of last night's Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performance at the Beacon, but I couldn't resist posting this incredible video of the group's cover debut from Monday night's Beacon Residency Opener. Watch as Petty and his band cover Willin' by Little Feat...
LA from The Byrds to The Eagles This is a great BBC documentary that makes a nice companion piece for our Southern California series from last year. Here is what the BBC website has to say about it.... Documentary looking at the music and mythology of a golden era in Californian culture, and telling the story of how Los Angeles changed from a kooky backwater in the early 1960s to become the artistic and industrial hub of the American music industry by the end of the 1970s. Alongside extensive and never before [...]
If you're not at least a little creeped out by this cover, you might be strange. Just sayin'. As long as this blog goes on, it'll never cease to amaze me how much great music is out there. I can post hundreds of great songs, rarely duplicating the same band or solo artist, and yet I've hardly scratched the surface of what is out there. And that doesn't even count the bands that suck. (I'd need an even more extensive blog to cover all of those, sadly.) Take Little Feat, for [...]
During a pivotal scene in American Psycho, Christian Bale's character manically waxed poetic about the music of Huey Lewis & The News , declaring "Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost." It was that album that propelled the Bay Area-based band into stardom, spawning four Top 10 singles - [...]

Earlier this week we broke the news that two of Jerry Garcia's effects pedals are up for auction and now we've got another set of auctions we think our readers will be interested in. A number of Little Feat keyboardist Billy Payne's keyboards as well as other gear are up for auction . California-based musical instrument seller Techno Empire has listed four pieces of gear owned by Payne. Among the items up for sale are Billy's Hammond B3 Organ , Fender [...]
You think these ladies are ready for spring break? Editor's note: Since the cold weather has doubled down on the country, thought we'd do the same thing with our warm recipes. Today, a reblog of a recent item on Louisiana gumbo. Ooh, baby, it’s cold outside! In Texas that means it’s about 53 degrees, and a warm front is going to blow back from the Gulf tomorrow, kickin’ everything up to about 75. Hey, we take what winter we can get. Anyway, let’s dig out a deep pot and make some gumbo [...]

Anyway, let’s dig out a deep pot and make some gumbo today. Gumbo is, of course, that stew-like dish popular in South Louisiana and crummy restaurants across the country. Although it apparently originated in New Orleans, gumbo is most closely associated with the Cajuns of South Louisiana – [...]

Let's keep the groove movin' today with a new one from the venerable Little Feat - "Rooster Rag," the title track from their first album in nine years. You can see that's keyboard ace Bill Payne doing the lead vocals, and nice to see Paul Barrere on guitar, Kenny Gradney on bass and the redoubtable Fred Tackett on mandolin and backing vocals. Little Feat official web site (free download of "Rooster Rag")
In 2009, drummer Gabe Ford found himself in a rare set of circumstances: a career-defining move that was part of an impossibly difficult situation. He'd spent three years as the drum tech for Little Feat , and in August of that year began filling in at live shows for Little Feat's legendary drummer, Richie Hayward, who left the road to battle liver cancer. Ford, like his bandmates, saw the job as temporary: of course Richie would come back. But it was a battle Hayward lost. While awaiting [...]
