{ "item_title" : "Rooster Rag [LP] - VINYL", "item_author" : [" Music "], "item_description" : "Rooster Rag reveals the same sophistication of all post-Lowell George-era Little Feat releases, except that this sophistication sounds progressive, more like the band is having a good time making the music. Rooster Rag is the first recording without original drummer Richie Hayward, who passed away in 2010 from liver cancer. Longtime drum technician Gabriel Ford takes over the drumming duties; as with Georges death in 1979, all would be okay, but thjings would never be the same. This album is something other than greater than the sum of its parts. The blanket presence of Paul Barreres underrated slide guitar causes this disc to reveal that these seasoned musicians can still draw from their peers. Payne/Hunters quot;Salome,quot; quot;Rag Top Downquot; and quot;Way Down Under,quot; and Tacketts quot;One Breath at a Timequot; all bear the influence of slide guitarist Sonny Landreths unique style, being assimilated by Barrere in his own slide guitar playing. Barrere does not merely imitate, as he is too great a guitarist for that. Rather, he incorporates Landreths method to great effect. His distinctive vocals open the disc with the bands concert standard, Mississippi John Hurts quot;Candy Man Blues.quot; the disc closes with percussionist Sam Clayton singing Willie Dixons contribution to Little Walter Jacobs quot;Mellow Down Easy.quot; This is a fine evolution of a respected American band.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers.booksamillion.com/covers/gift/0/11/661/914/011661914919-1.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "24.99", "online_price" : "24.99", "our_price" : "24.99", "club_price" : "24.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
