Little Feat - Let It Roll (Video)

[@davidmacdonald4019]

I'm an old Canadian guitar picker (74 and counting), still playing and healthy thank God. But this tune? We learned it way back when it was new, and now, with my latest group, we're learning it again. Just a great band with the ability to rock the house. Always will be a fav of mine!!!

[@AndrewTGreen]

How did we get to a place where this music, musicianship and groove are nonexistent. I love this entire album. We won't see it's like again in our lifetimes.

[@Johnboy33545]

Bullshit. Stop living in the past. I'm 75 and have never lacked for great rock and roll including Blues, Folk and Soul. It never ends. It's you and your appreciation that are lacking.

[@elysium619]

Never sold out. Class AAA musicianship.

[@janetkuziak3367]

One of music's most under-rated band.

[@hitchowa]

without doubt - The best band ever. period. love them. RIP Ritchie Lowell & Paul

[@MrTurboparker]

Impeccable playing, impeccable musicianship, impeccable writing, along with impeccable sound in the studio AND live - for decades! A true musician's band & audiophile's band!

[@markpeterson7381]

I was in radio longer than this song has been around. I loved it when it was released but I was never able to play it without breaking format, It was ignored by every station in the country, The internet will keep it alive though. Thank you KZbin. This song was also a favorite of my first wife, God rest her soul.

[@reno145]

I heard it one time, and one time only. Little Feat happened to play Saturday Night Live, and I happened to tune it. I hadn't seen SNL in probably 10 years at that time, and I don't think I watched it since. Bought the CD the next day.

[@curtisgibbons1078]

I'm not saying you're wrong, but when this song came out I heard it on the radio constantly in Northern California

[@markpeterson7381]

@@curtisgibbons1078 the stations I worked at weren't formatted for rock. I t wasn't until years after this song was a hit, I worked at a rock station but this song was never on the playlist. I could never understand why. It's too good to be ignored.

Saw them in Chi in the 70s with the Tower of Power and Robert Palmer, and Lowell of course. Saw them right after this album too. They never fail!!! Feats wont fail us now

This is absolutely one of the best songs ever. Why hasn't it gotten one of those medal of somethings, or gold medal for somethings? Really. This is what made America Great the first time!

[@paulinwoburn9680]

I saw Little Feat at the West Palm Beach County Fair for the first time some 40 years ago. I had unbelievably never heard of them before but my friend told me I'd love them. And she was right. They are such a great kick-ass band. Thanks Glenna for taking me to that concert so many years ago.

[@aussiedave1248]

Truly a great band overshadowed by glam rock, record companies loved, glitter and color. I believe they were all top shelf session muso's.

[@davidsippel3805]

These guys are just so damn good. They never let their incredibly high standards slip.

[@kevinmccrohan3471]

agreed

[@tomm5780]

One of the qualities of Little Feat over the years is their endurance as a band. As I write we have lost Little Feat spiritual leader Paul Barrere. Little Feat's spirit to revitalize their music muse has always appealed to me and certainly others with the 80"s resurgence of the band. And in my opinion they can continue the the next chapter should they choose to do so. With established and notable musicians for example Larry Campbell, Amy Helm, David Bromberg , Bonnie Raitt and others ALL could continue the legacy style and musicianship of Little Feat.

[@rwalk6132]

Paul Barrere passed today - October 26, 2019..."say Hi! to Lowell for us" & R.I.P.

[@jasonhoover5747]

Amen....

It breaks my heart that most people don't understand who incredibly musically complex this song is.

[@GrooveDoctor77Musician]

Little Feat is a great band ,theyve been around for decades ,sad to hear Ritchie Hayward has passed ,he was one of the best drummers, he had that unique groove thats really hard to emulate , but I hope the band carries on ,..after Lowell George died in the 80s ,the critics said that was it for Little Feat ....but you just cant keep a good band down,.. mark it a great band , Long live Little Feat

[@BigPhilQPR93]

[@andyinoregon]

For those who may not know this 1988 version of Little Feat, if you pause at 0:32 you'll see lead singer/guitarist Paul Barrere, guitarist/vocalist Craig Fuller, guitar/mandolin/trumpet Fred Tackett and bassist Kenny Gradney. In the next shot are (L-R) keyboardist/vocalist Bill Payne, percussionist/bass vocalist Sam Clayton and drummer/vocalist Richie Hayward. Barrere and Hayward have sadly passed on in recent years.

[@jeffreylocke590]

Lowell would be so happy to see how this band has evolved over decades since he left the building. High standards then, and even greater now.

[@georgesawtooth]

One of my favorite's songs of all time. The energy is intoxicating.

[@michelebelierrealestate9357]

One of the greatest songs ever from one of the greatest bands ever. It's a tragedy that there's no longer music like this being written and performed. This song made me fall in love with Paul; and every time I hear it it makes me cry for what we've lost. Absolutely the best.

[@davidhaddaf8250]

Agreed!

[@321snoot]

I was lucky enough to meet Paul a few months before he passed away. Very gracious and a really nice guy. I thanked him for his music and he smiled, shook my hand, and thanked me back. Something I'll never forget. Thanks, Paul.

[@GrooveDoctor77Musician]

Little Feat isn't just a band there a 40 plus yr institution .. the biggest loss for me was Richie Hayward , who I used to study his new Orleans jazzy feels and funk beats , its sad that Lowell George died so young ..but losing Ritchie was sad to me ..he was one of the best technical drummers ..I learned a lot from ...I could also say studying Ritchie help win me a bunch of auditions , carpal tunnel makes it hard to play drums long now..so I play gtr now ..I cant even do that except a cpl hrs ...but RIP LITTLE FEAT brothers , you guys are still carrying on ..and that's a good thing

@@gunndish T.O.P. horns, too? Oh, man! Lucky you!!

[@gunndish]

@@321snoot I always felt like Lowell's abilities went highly underrated. So sad his early departure from this world. He could get the best out of everyone nearly every time they played. The last show I saw was their 50th Anniversary tour in Jax. It started off slow, as Paul Barerre was battling cancer. They had a horn section ... though it wasn't T.O.P. However, once they got going ... it was FEAT! Paul did an awesome job for many years filling in on slide guitar in Lowell's absence. These days ... with George, Hayward and Barerre gone ... I doubt it sounds anything like I remember. God rest their souls. I'm hoping to catch up with them again once I reach the other side.

[@321snoot]

@@gunndish When I think of Little Feat, I think of Lowell at the helm - not any of the front men/women who replaced him. After he passed I knew it wouldn't have "really" sounded like Little Feat. (Yes, Roll with It is great, but different.) I've seen the newest version on TV. The new members are very good but, to be honest, It doesn't sound much like the Little Feat of old, to the point where I didn't even want to hear anymore. It was like a different band - dare I say it: almost like a "tribute" band - playing Feat's songs. I hope you do catch up with the boys down the line, and I don't mean that in a morbid way. (I did meet Paul a year before he passed away and thanked him for his music. Shook my hand and thanked me back. Just the nicest, friendliest guy.) Be good, my friend.
