Album DescriptionAvailable in:
"Rooster Rag" is the fifteenth album of original material by American rock band Little Feat released in June 2012.
It marks their first original album since 2003's Kickin' It at the Barn and the recording debut with the group of new drummer Gabe Ford who replaced the late Richie Hayward. Four of the songs were written by former Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter in collaboration with keyboard player Bill Payne now the only musician to have played with every line-up of the group. Surprisingly, Paul Barrere the group's main writer/singer has only been credited with writing on one track, but his usual co-author Fred Tackett contributes four songs, all of which have appeared on his solo albums but not all of which he sings lead on.
The song Candy Man Blues by Mississippi John Hurt has been done by the band live for some years and appeared on their 2005 collection Barnstormin' Live.
