It is no little feat Paul Barrere turns 60 today. No pun, if you do not know who Paul Barrere, it's time to find out.

Before beginning my talk of the Paul B. and Little Feat, let me give you some background. Little Feat was in the 70s in what my wife and I refer to one of the most great, more fit and fun bands ever. I know, I saw him play live many times in Washington DC in the 70s. I / we spent inordinate amounts of time listening to his albums (vinyl) for hours every day in my basement. Even had the great fortune to get a ticket to Lisner Hall at the University of GW to its first live album, Waiting for Columbus. Rush.Actually What we saw in concert here in Florida a few years ago. They just keep getting better. Seeing them in concert if your chance.

In the time it really began to be famous, and perhaps part of the reason it became so popular that it was endorsed as Robert Plant a band on the album Sneaking Sally through the alley. Probably the best Little Feat album ever. Although it was actually the name of Robert Palmer on the cover. Paul Barrere born 1948 in Burbank (California) is still a current member of the band Little Feat, having joined the band in 1972. Barrere has also recorded and performed with many notable musicians including Chicken Legs, the Blues Busters (with Catfish Hodge), Valerie Carter, Helen Watson, Chico Hamilton, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Palmer, and Carly Simon.His best known contributions to Little Feat include skin It Back and Feats Do not Fail Me Now album deeds Do not Fail Me Now, All That You Dream of The Last Record Album Time loves a hero of Time loves a hero, and Down on the Farm Down on the Farm.

Barrere is a guitarist swing man, and can play all styles, blues, rock, slide, jazz and Cajun. Now, as the leader of the band he calls the signals on the bandstand to change user passwords or songs. Paul also records and tours as an acoustic duo with fellow Little Feat member Fred Tackett.

Little Feat is an American band formed by songwriter, singer and guitarist Lowell George and keyboardist Bill Payne in 1969 in Los Angeles. The band broke up shortly after George's death in 1979, and reformed nine years later. A change of vocalist in 1993 marked the beginning of the third incarnation of Little Feat The band plays a mix of blues, R & B, country, New Orleans funk, and rock and roll.

Barrere can not be measured as an artist in a common form. His magic with the guitar is part of the attraction. He is a very imaginative guitarist, teacher of the slide guitar, and may be considered a master of rhythm and rock and roll king. He has two degrees in the balance of payments bee, and a Ph.D. in place too. Anyway you says, Paul has been the heart and soul of Little Feat since Lowell George died in'79 (RIP), especially the guitar side. However, he has always been a writer of the current song, matching the style was perfect with Lowell George.

The last concert we attended some years ago, Paul looked great and was playing off the lists. I mean it's a better player now. Incidentally, I saw Robin Trower in concert last year, and had become clear (if possible) a guitar of more detailed and technical best player too. All told, when a band stays together almost 40 years with members of the same core, less Lowell George, what would be expected to be adjusted.

A quick note of interest, we saw Willie Nelson in concert about 6 months. There is another group that has been more 30. He also had that feeling super tight band being only after dating for a while. Where everyone knows and anticipates what other members are doing or will do, those are the instincts of my friend.

Note: Have you noticed in the NFL, teams with offensive lines that have been together for a while and are well known, working better together? A band is a team also.

In fact, all of my vinyl collection is small feat or 10 "reel to reel. Now, you can buy it on CD or DVD. I checked Amazon, and have all the albums ever made, and Robert Palmer / Little Feat sneak through the alley with Sally.
