The legendary-and-thriving LITTLE FEAT today (June 18) raise their glass to the “Milkman” with the newly released video for the opening track from their critically acclaimed, blues-focused album SAM’S PLACE (Hot Tomato Productions/MRI). You can feel the band’s joyous camaraderie in this mainly performance video filmed earlier this year at Studio Instrumental Rentals in Nashville. Watch “Milkman,” directed and edited by Michael Kessler, HERE.

The members of LITTLE FEAT 2024 are: Bill Payne, Keyboards and Vocals; Sam Clayton, Percussion and Vocals; Fred Tackett, Guitars and Vocals, Kenny Gradney, Bass; Scott Sharrard, Guitars and Vocals; and Tony Leone, drums and vocals. “Milkman” is an original LITTLE FEAT song written by Clayton (about his nephew), Tackett, and Sharrard. The deeply grooving track features Clayton on lead vocals, Payne on piano, Gradney on bass, Fred on electric guitar, Sharrard on slide guitar, and Leone on drums. In the video, premiered today at Glide Magazine, the band is joined by Steve Herrman on trumpet and Dana Robbins on saxophone. Interspersed throughout the video is archival footage of milkmen through the years.

LITTLE FEAT stopped into The GRAMMY Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater on June 10 to celebrate the May 17 release of SAM’S PLACE. It’s their first new studio album in 12 years; first-ever blues album; and the first one to feature linchpin conga player Clayton on lead vocals on every song. The evening began with a lively conversation with moderator Scott Goldman (the museum’s artistic director) encompassing their career, creative process, and more. It was followed by a reliably rousing five-song performance from the band. Read Screamer Magazine’s account of the night HERE.

“Milkman” marks the fourth video from the album and follows these clips: “You’ll Be Mine,” a cover of the Willie Dixon-written chestnut popularized by Howlin’ Wolf; “Can’t Be Satisfied,” a rollicking interpretation of the classic Muddy Waters-written gem; and, most recently, “Long Distance Call,” another Muddy Waters song featuring a soulful duet with longtime friend Bonnie Raitt.

“I’ve always loved Little Feat and this new incarnation of the band is bringing some serious heat, cred and new blood to their enduring legacy,” said Raitt. “Every Feat fan loves us some Sam. I’m so glad he’s now gotten a chance to step out front and center and put his spin on these wonderful blues songs. I loved singing ‘Long Distance Call’ with him, always one of my favorites, and Scott slayed on slide. Know you’ll enjoy hanging out with us at Sam’s Place!”

LITTLE FEAT’s individual musical chops and collective chemistry light up the nine-track SAM’S PLACE, which was waxed at Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, TN (August 2023), except for “Got My Mojo Working (Live),” recorded live at the Boulder Theatre in Boulder, CO (December 17, 2022). This is the first LITTLE FEAT album recorded with new members Sharrard and Leone. Read more about the album HERE.
