5.0 out of 5 stars More than one listen required - 4 1/2 stars

I automatically, and faithfully purchase every album released by The Feat. This particular album was initially an obligatory buy for me because I believe bands like The Feat need to be supported - forever. They have provided me with unending pleasure, sometimes bordering on euphoria (particularly after meeting the lady with the turban...) for years and years. If, for instance, I grab a handful of CD's to keep me company on a long drive there's still always a few Feat albums in the bunch - late night, sleepy, window open, and *almost* at Jackson Hole...just gotta hang on.

I was initially "tickled" by this particular release - but not knocked out. Persistent listening allowed for a change in my perception and therefore, my opinion, of what I ultimately decided were outstanding performances of some of my favorite Feat tunes. Rather than listening to tunes that were "not quite like Lowell" I was able, with repeated exposures, to hear this as a brand new album of unique and high quality, often rearranged versions of familiar tunes - a la Jennifer Warnes' renderings of Leonard Cohen songs. So, in my opinion, this really an album unto itself and not just rehashed Feat material. I took back 1/2 a star for one less than stellar (pun intended) vocal track, but aside from that, highly recommended. And I would *love* to hear Emmy record a whole album in her big-girl voice!

I gave it 5 stars *graphically* because I couldn't figure out how to only give the last 1/2 star picture, but I rate the album 4 1/2 stars for the reason given above.

4.0 out of 5 stars 50% Great, 30% good, 20% unnecessary
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2008

There are some really great re-imaginings of some Little Feat songs here. Some take on new life in the hands of different singers, w all new arrangements. Others are good, but not great, and there are a few that really don't add anything at all.

Some of the highlights include

***** Fat Man in the Bathtub - w Dave Matthews: Completely different feel. Dave's low gravelly growl is different that Lowell's (still miss him, nearly 30 years later), but it works well, particularly w this arrangment.
**** Oh, Atlanta - w Chris Robinson: This one is not dramatically different in terms of arrangement, but Chris Robinson's vocals rock.
**** The Weight - w Bela Fleck. Feels a little rushed, but this is one of my alltime favorites, & I'm glad to hear Feat record it. One thought: they had Sam Bush around, why not have him play mando instead of Fred on this one?
***** Time Loves a Hero - w Jimmy Buffett: I'm not a huge Parrothead, but Jimmy really was made for this song.
***** Trouble - w Inara George: Inara does a great job balancing all the melancholy and sweetness in this song. A bittersweet, but lovely, tribute to her dad.
***** Sailin' Shoes: w Emmylou, Sam Bush & Bela Fleck: I'm a huge Newgrass Revival fan, so hearing Sam & Bela, along w some great earthy vocals by Emmylou. Sam has done this for years, though this one is bluesier than his, until they kick it into gear at about the 2:55 mark.

Something in the Water (Seeger), Dixie Chicken (Vince Gill), Willin' (Brooks & Dunn) & I will play for Gumbo were all good, if not particularly exceptional.

This disk could have lost at least 2 and as many as 4 tracks. Why did they bother w See you Later Alligator or Don't Ya Just know it, which do not include any outside participants? Pure filler, & not very memorable even by filler standards. I also didn't need a 2nd Buffett contribution (Champion of the World - yawn). This Land is Your Land "features" Mike Gordon on bass - while this is a fun re-casting of a well known folk fave, it is not like it is a staple of the Little Feat catalogue, & I for one didn't pick out anything extraordinary in Gordon's bass playing per se that made his guest turn worthwhile. I could have done w/o any of these tracks. And as others have commented, it would have been great to hear some Linda Ronstadt or Bonnie Raitt. or how 'bout some John Hiatt?

On balance, there's a lot to recommend this disk. It is a worthy addition to any Feat fan's collection. It could have been better, but that doesn't obscure that this is a fun, rockin' disk. A solid 4 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2012

This album is wonderful. Little Feat does sing in a couple of the songs. I have listened to this band for 16 years and have always been a little skeptical when dealing with tribute albums. I am telling you right now that this is worth the buy. The song Spanish Moon and Dave Matthews version of Fat Man in a Bathtub are enough to want to have this album. The rest of the songs are great as well. My only quarrel with this album is that it is a protected CD. I have numerous devices that I would like to have this on, but can only make it work on one. A licensing webpage pops up every time I try and transfer this album to more than one device.

Being a huge Little Feat and DMB fan, I got this CD because it was Little Feat and, oh yea, a bonus was the first track with DMB. Incredible. Dave blended in seamlessly in Fat Man in the Bathtub, exceptional. Then there were the other artists, most notably Bob Seger, Vince Gill, and Jimmy Buffett. This might be my favorite Little Feat album. If you are a fan, give it a listen, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great item - Not happy with Amazon.com
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2009

The CD was great - However - I received three CD's when I only ordered two and could not reach anyone at Amazon to fix the mess - So I payed for 3 CD's plus shipping - which was way too much - and couldn't find an address or number to call to return it within the 30 day period. I work out of town and cannot spend all day hunting for addresses or numbers for mistakes.
Too bad for me now- Too bad for Amazon in the future.

3.0 out of 5 stars Waiting for Columbus - it ain't - but there are some fun things...
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2013

Every song except one that is also on Waiting for Columbus makes me wish I was listening to the Waiting for Columbus version. Only "Time Loves a Hero" with Jimmy Buffet seems to work better. And I love some of the artists they used on those songs (Dave Matthews, Vince Gill, Chris Robinson, Bela Fleck- heck yeah) Some of the others are treasures - including "SOmething in the water" with Seger singing - "See you later alligator", "The Weight", and "Trouble". Non-essential fun for Feat fanatics.

sarà che per loro ho un debole sin dal primo disco ma li trovo più trascinanti che mai, Sonotutti pezzi vecchi con nuovi arrangiamenti e con a little help from my friends (Craig Fuller, Brooks and Dunn, Bob Seger e altri), Questi ragazzi di 65 anni e oltre sanno fare musica senza tanti fronzoli ed effetti speciali e chi li ha visti dal vivo ve lo potrà senz'altro confermare.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nicht ganz so euphorisch!

Es gab schon peinlichere Tribute- und Duett-Alben, trotzdem kann ich mich den Lobeshymnen nicht anschließen.
"Fat Man in the Bathtub" ist großartig, die galaktische Version von "Waiting for Columbus" ist intelligent abgewandelt, der ganze Rest schwank zwischen "na ja!" und "oh je!"
Meine Empfehlung:
- Fat Man herunterladen
- Waiting for Columbus kaufen

5.0 out of 5 stars 相変わらずゴキゲンなバンドである。
Reviewed in Japan on October 16, 2008

Little Featは昔からゴキゲンなバンドで憧れていた。中でもライヴ盤「Waiting For Columbus」は、観衆を熱狂の渦に巻き込んだ様子が、ダイレクトに伝わってくる素晴らしいアルバムだった。それは「Join The Band」、すなわち、本作と同じタイトルの曲で幕を開ける。それだけでワクワクした。また今回はLittle Featに「AND FRIENDS」がプラスされている。このFRIENDSの面々が超豪華。今は亡きローエル・ジョージの愛娘も加わって、名曲「TROUBLE」を歌っている。彼らもLittle Featが大好きだったんだな。みんな歌えることを誇りに思って楽しそうに、そして、存分に歌いきっている。どれも大好きな曲ばかりだけれど、個人的には1曲目「Fat Man In The Bathtub」と、8曲目、大好きなJimmy Buffetが歌う「Time Loves A Hero」、そして12曲目、昔バンドを組んでいた頃、ホーンも交えて演奏した「Spanish Moon」辺りが特に好きだ。リリースされたころのオリジナルのかっこ良さも忘れがたいけれど、ブックレットから窺える最近の彼らからすると、十分に歳を取って、どこかギラギラしたところが抜けて、余裕たっぷりで演奏するのも悪くない。「Spanish Moon」も当時の演奏も聴き直してみたけれど、どっちも甲乙つけ難くゴキゲンでかっこいい。ところで。「Time Loves A Hero」とは良く言ったものだ。昔、時代は彼らを愛した。そして今。彼らは相変わらずかっこよくてHeroだ。何年かが過ぎて、また時代がHeroの演奏を聴きたくなったのかも知れないな。

　なんかこのアルバム聞いてると、Little Featがホストを務める、日差しの強い夏のナントカRockフェスの野外会場にいる様です。場所は、そうナッシュ・ビルのあたりの野原とかでさ（笑）。こうゆうアルバムは、ほら、休みの日に特に何も考えず、酒飲みながら聴くのがいいんじゃないのでしょうか。
　で、そんな野外のロックフェスのオープニングは、Dave Matthews。ズドン。デーブインザバスタブ（マジか？）。できれば、RicheとDMBのCarter Beaufordのダブルドラムで！とか。いや、そんな事を想像するだけで楽しいじゃないすか。演奏も勿論ナイスだし〜。
　所で、自分がおもろい！と感じたのは、ボーナス前、6分超え、vo:Emmylou Harris/banjo:Bela Fleck参加の、Put on your Saillin' Shoe〜〜〜s。これで盛り上がらない様なら、もーいいよ！
