Vince Gill Ready for Little Feat
For someone like me, who thinks the sun rises and sets with Garth Brooks, I long assumed he was the only artist to record “Dixie Chicken.” Until a friend heard it and told me that was an old Little Feat song. Who? I have to admit, I’d never heard of them at the time, but I came to realize that they were — and are — an influence on a lot of the country artists. In fact, Vince Gill, Brooks & Dunn, Brad Paisley, Emmylou Harris and others have joined the current group for the new album Little Feat and Friends: Join the Band. On it, Gill sings that “Dixie Chicken” song I love so much, and I’m sure his take will sound just as good as the cuts that came before his.

Little Feat is an outstanding group of musicians that have played with, and influenced many artists, in all styles of american music, over the last 40 years. They are the all american band. It is great that artists like Vince, Brooks and Dunn, Brad Paisly, Emmy Lou Harris, Jimmy Buffet, Dave Mathews, Bob Seger, and others are giving them props with this album!!!! Look them up!
