Little Feat's 'Dixie Chicken' Live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival
In 1988, Little Feat was riding a creative wave, showcasing their rich, southern rock and funk-infused sound during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, where they performed their classic 'Dixie Chicken.' This live recording captures not only the essence of their performance but also the vitality of the band, which had just released 'Let It Roll,' an album that marked a significant comeback after a hiatus. Interestingly, this album signaled their return to the studio after a seven-year gap, allowing them to blend classic influences with contemporary sounds. Featuring core members like Bill Payne and Paul Barrere, the show radiated a camaraderie and dynamism that fans adored. The live atmosphere of the festival undoubtedly added an extra layer of energy to their performance, making it a memorable highlight in their storied career.
