40 Feat: The Hot Tomato Anthology 1971-2011

as american as rock 'n roll itself, little feat's music transcends boundaries, a freewheeling fusion of california rock and dixie-inflected funk-boogie. also in the mix are strains of folk, blues, rockabilly, country and jazz, inventing a hybrid sound that is truly little feat's own. in 2002, this legendary band formed their own label, hot tomato records, ostensibly to release a series of what might best be described as official bootlegs. now comes '40 feat', a thrilling, supercharged dip into the best of little feat's own live recordings. the band's guitarist paul barrere explains: "our first releases, the box sets called ripe and raw tomatoes spanned 30 years of little feat live. it was really a great treat for our fans to get to glimpse into the vaults of little feat live."
