Great band. They released three LPs, but were mainly known for their one big hit, "Smoke From A Distant Fire".

I only saw them perform once, at the Vogue Theatre in Broad Ripple, a northern suburb of Indianapolis. They played two shows that night, and I stayed for both. Unbelievable performers.

John Townsend has released some recordings of his own. His website is at:

and some videos from that site:

I LOVE that Little Feat LP. My favorite Little Feat release, though, is "Down On The Farm".

Here is a live radio performance, not from the LP recording:
