I have had this for two days waiting for this evening. Finally took the shrink wrap off,---------Awesome (parrothead predjudice)
After a 25 mile bike ride to slow myself physically and then dinner of BBQ dry rub ribs and chicken to sate ourselves Me an two friends retired to the deck for a perfect 72 degree evening with occassional breezes blowing for a listening party.
A La Aurora 100 Anos
Bottle of Germain-Robin Old Havana alambic brandy -- (more on that later)
Classic Little Feat with Buffetesque overtones-- actually you can imagine youself down in the French quarter on a lively night.
Lots of old Feat tunes reworked and a new way of hearing them. (a pure sonic pleasure--IMHO)
Seems a lot of cool people wanted to be on this album-- Dave Mathews(excellent)----Bob Seger(How Cool)--Jimmy (Oh Yeah)----Sonny Landreth, Bela Fleck (Both too cool)---- Sam Bush(How bout that) --- Brooks and Dunn and Emylou Harris(Believe it)--Vince Gill(Believe it)--Chris Robinson and Craig fuller(awesome)
I love hearing all the songs reworked even is some are slower and more country then the versions I'm used to hearing. Also, some other songs get covered with that Feat kinda groove style--- See you Later Alligator, and This Land is your Land
Then imagine them covering The Weight from The Band-- oh yeah that works.
15 songs ending with them covering Jimmy's I will play for Gumbo.
As you can tell this was an awesome soundtrack to say goodbye to Summer. It will be in my car for days.
My personal favorite-- Jimmy helping to sing Time Loves a Hero
