Most bands who started in the tumultuous year of 1969 like Little Feat never make it out of that creative cauldron. How many heroes faded away or flamed out and can only be found now on classic rock radio od in dusty record bins? And while the group lost talented but tempestuous lead singer and guitarist Lowell George along the way - as we learned talking In the first part of our wide-ranging conversation with renown keyboardist, songwriter, painter and band co-founder Bill Payne, we see how this ever-evolving collective of artists was able to keep the dream alive, now delighting devoted fans with a new tour showing off their signature harmony-rich folk and brassy funk, and reissuing their beloved records Dixie Chicken and Sailin’ Shoes with never before heard material. The more you look, the more you see that Little Feat is like a fifty year old best kept secret - the genre-bending band that many masters like Elton John and Robert Plant and even The Rolling Stones loved to see live - with songs like “Willin’” being covered by everyone from Linda Ronstsadt to Gregg Allman to The Byrds. Meanwhile Payne has had an epic career playing keys in bands like The Doobie Brothers - but Little Feat has always been that special group that, while never achieving world-wide fame, is always waiting to be discovered anew.
