The longtime drum and percussion team of Richie Hayward and Sam Clayton lay down a rock-solid foundation.
The band hasn't lost its sense of humor either...
After 30 years of playing somevery ecclectic rock n roll, Little Feat continues to put out quality material.
On Kickin' It On The Barn, the band puts out some varied material that is pure rock n roll with some
pleasing country, jazz, and world touches.
I find the touches of the accordion, mandolin, and percussion very appropriate on Corazones y Sombras.
The spanish flavoring is oh so pleasing. Night On The Town and the instruemtnal Stomp feature some
Grade A jams with Bill Payne's keyboard touches standing out. Heaven Foresaken is another great
focused tune with strong guitar passages. However, my favorite tune is the Freddie Tacket sung
In A Town Like This. The drumming is just mesmerizing and the guitar solos superb.
My only beef is that there is hardly any contributions from Shaun Murphy. Her one tune, I'd Be Lying
is a good one. However, I feel the band is not utilizing their best vocalist enough.
Nonetheless, this is a solid recording from a legendary band.
