Since 1969, Little Feat have been a constant presence in the world of music. Rather than a phoenix resurrecting every few years, the band has flown high and far. Even when on the occasional hiatus, Little Feat have been namechecked by multiple artists are a needed primer for their own sound, a DIY guide to both resilience and the cornerstone for genres such as Roots Rock and jam bands. Core members have joined with a fresh infusion of talent to deliver the recently released, Strike Up the Band, the album following 2024’s release, Sam’s Place.  Strike Up the Band is a suitcase full of Roots music styles from a group that has become musical alchemists, fusing Blues, Funk, Rock’n’Roll, Soul, Americana, and Folk sounds into a blend that has become a brand for Little Feat. 
Little Feat morph into a gypsy band when they welcome Molly Tuttle, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams for a journey to “Deep in the Bluegrass Pines” while Larkin Poe are guests on the Strike Up the Band title track. An electric guitar wanders freely across through “When Hearts Fall” as a street parade shuffle supports the advice of “Running Out of Time with the Blues”. Little Feat stay true to the Dixie Rock’n’Roll rhythms they patented on their initial album output when the board “Midnight Flight” while an easy sway wraps around the wisdom of “Love and Life (Never Fear)” as “Bayou Mama” drifts down a current of Southern Rock, and a funk boogie rides shotgun for the band’s follicle fears in “Too High to Cut My Hair”. A traveling saga opens Strike Up the Band with a thick groove in “4 Days of Heaven 3 Days of Work” as Little Feat exit the album on a second line shout out to the Crescent City with “New Orleans Cries When It Sings”.
