Little Feat certainly ranks up there as one of my favorites. At one time I had all their albums but having moved a few thousand miles away from home, they got sold or given away. *sigh*

My Brother visited recently, and we went for a jaunt in his new Honda pickup. He put in "Waiting For Columbus" and I was rocketed back to 1977 or so! God, I loved that band! They were one of the greatest! I saw them back then, just after I got sober and just before Lowell George died. Man, that kind of funky, greasy, Rock just isn't done anymore and it was so accepted then. That's exactly the kind of stuff I'd like to do these days. If I could just gather up some more old farts that felt the same way. Sigh...

I got to meet several of them somewhere along the way back in the 80's. That was a definite highlight for me!

Bill Wither's songs have been redone so often that no one knows who actually wrote them.
I demand that there is a public announcement about him

Especially thier pre Capitol Records stuff. I think they had seven albums out in Canada before Capitol signed them.

Cool someone else who knows they weren't an 80s band.

Anyone mention UFO or Nazareth yet?

Still got some reading to do on this thread.

I researched them before a concert a few years ago to get familiar with thier older stuff. I knew Roller and the Nature of the Beast, Power Play and Harder, Faster albums and a few other tunes but had no idea how much music they had-dating back to 1969. Great band. Weeping Widow and Silver Dollar are a few of my favorites. If You See Kay is a great play on words. One of those bands with twin lead guitars up there with the best of them. Wish they would tour the States more.
