Notes: On 2008's appropriately titled JOIN THE BAND, the veteran rock act Little Feat revisits many of its signature tunes and takes on a few covers, aided and abetted by famous friends and fans such as Dave Matthews, Bob Seger, Jimmy Buffett, and Vince Gill. Highlights include a rollicking rendition of "Something in the Water" and a deft version of the Band's ever-poignant "The Weight."

Record Collector (magazine) (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] mighty fine album....Leaping new treatments of favourites such as 'Oh Atlanta,' 'Dixie Chicken,' and a joyous 'Fat Man In The Bathtub' are rich and powerful."

Los Angeles' Little Feat served up a polymorphic gumbo of New Orleans funk, southern boogie, and blues rock with the soulful slide guitar, worn voice, and tremendous country-tinged songwriting of leader Lowell George as its main ingredients. Founded by George and pianist Bill Payne in 1969, Little Feat released a couple of straighter blues rock albums before embracing an infectious, Meters-like groove in their rhythm section (Roy Estrada and Richie Hayward of the Mothers of Invention). Despite a run of critically acclaimed albums throughout the '70s--and George's continuing excellence as a songwriter--the band broke up in 1979 shortly after George died. Reformed versions of Little Feat continued to release records and tour in the ensuing decades.
