Do you think Little Feat's great music ended after the death of Lowell George?...better check out "Let It Roll" with Craig Fuller. And do you think the same thing after the departure of Craig Fuller?...check out "Live From Neon Park" and "Under the Radar" with "new" vocalist Shaun Murphy (who has been singing backup vocals with the band since 1988 and lead vocals since 1995...she can belt it out with the best of 'em). These folks just keep getting better and better...there just ain't no stoppin' this band! And don't forget their classic live album from the Lowell George days, "Waiting for Columbus".
