A message from tour manager Denny Jones

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:18:33 -0400

There's a line in the Allman Brothers song "Midnight Rider" that says "the road goes on forever." I've spent the better part of my life on that very road they describe. But there's also a great song by Buffalo Springfield called "Go And Say Goodbye", and so it is at this time I would like to announce that at the end of this current leg of the Little Feat Tour, I will be stepping down as Tour Manager. I've thought long and hard about this decision; agonized over it in fact. I have never worked with a finer, nicer, group of musicians and crew, that I am proud to say are friends as well. The fans have also been amazing: Their time and devotion to Little Feat speaks volumes, especially the grass roots effort that spawned the POC's and support group, which has made my job so enjoyable. I will miss this unique Rock 'n' Roll Family called Little Feat tremendously. My humble words will never be able to express my deepest admiration and respect for all of you in this extended family. Don't worry, I'll be keeping an eye on things from home as I finally will be able to devote a lot more time to my "off-road" life with Jodi. I'll never be further than an email or phone call away. Thanks to you all for enriching my life in ways I never thought were possible, mere words cannot express this enough. So goodbye for now, I'm sure we'll see each other "Down The Road". Denny Jones

Join the band: The influential Little Feat Little Feat songs such as Dixie Chicken and Fat Man in the Bathtub have influenced a couple of generations of rock and country musicians. Some of those musicians got a taste of playing with the group on the new Feat album, out Aug. 26. Join the Band, much of which was recorded at Jimmy Buffett's Shrimpboat Sound studio in Key West features new versions of many of Little Feat's best-known songs. They include Chicken (with Vince Gill and slide guitarist Sonny Landreth), Oh Atlanta (with the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson) and Trouble (with original frontman Lowell George's daughter Inara). One highlight is a new take on Fat Man with Dave Matthews on vocals. "Matthews was the first guy other than Jimmy to sign up," says Feat keyboardist Billy Payne. "He did about 18 vocals, which was pretty amazing. When Dave Matthews tackles something, he doesn't leave much to error or to chance." "I wanted to be able to share, with people who knew us or didn't know us, what was our relationship in regard to influences," Payne says. "The music industry is set up in such a fashion now that it's really tough to tell how those things happen, but it widens the circle of your knowledge. It keeps life interesting. It keeps music and the arts interesting." -Brian Mansfield
