Can you ever have enough Lowell & Little Feat music around? No, no, I don't think you can...

All our series that I'm juggling here on One Buck Records continue to choogle along, so it's time for a return trip via the Lafayette Railroad into the country of swampy grooves, funky rock and heartfelt ballads - that's right, it's time to return to Lowell George country. We've Got You Covered: Lowell George & Little Feat Volume 3 does, what the other two volumes did: presenting you a fine selection of cover versions celebrating the songwriting of Mr. Little Feat himself - named after his small feet, natch - and his compadres. 

Artists trying out their hands on Lowell & Feat tunes include collaborators like Linda Ronstadt and Robert Palmer, both alumni from the first volume, as well as admirers close and far. Some of these you would expect, like Brothers Of a Feather a.k.a. Chris & Rich Robinson from the Blaack Crowes, whose modern Southern rock definitely has some overlap with George's music. But I bet you didn't have John Farnham on your bingo card of folks doing Little Feat covers, though somewhat fittingly he takes one of George's most AOR tunes, "Perfect Imperfections" (when I first heard it, I thought it was Barrère or Payne singing, as that vocal has no grit at all). The Brothers Landreth strike twice, first Joey with a lovely cover of "Long Distance Love", and then with his brother David on a smokin' cover of "Two Trains". 

The Americana front os well represented with Jamey Johnson covering the inevitable "Willin'" and One Buck Records hero Neal Casal running through "Sailin' Shoes" for eight minutes - which was a reason to put it here instead of one of the Casalties comps. Taj Mahal gets the groove on with the rarely covered "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" and Souled American bring a woozy, fuzzy alt country vibe to "Six Feet Of Snow", and then after 65 minutes of first-class Loell & Little Feat covers, Lionel Wendling takes us home on the aforementioned "Lafayette Railroad". 

So, good stuff here, as usual. Hope you agree, and get some of the ol' Lowell & Feat magic for a groovy start to your week...
