Even though Little Feat was founded over 50 years ago, the band co-founded by Lowell George and led by Bill Payne has flourished with their gumbo approach to rock and roll.

Their newest album, Sam's Place, shines the spotlight on longtime member Sam Clayton, who takes lead vocal duties for the first time since he joined the band in 1972.

In this session, Payne and the rest of Little Feat join us for a studio session in front of a live audience. They also talk about making Sam's Place and how the band has been re-energized thanks to its younger members.

Set List

  • "You'll Be Mine"
  • "Milkman"
  • "Hate to Lose Your Lovin' "
  • "Dixie Chicken"
