Little Feat guitarist and vocalist Paul Barrere has died. News broke of his passing on the evening of Oct. 26, with a band statement that described his “abiding love for a life always dedicated to the muse and the music.“Barrere was officially inducted into Little Feat during the recording of 1973’s Dixie Chicken release. He co-wrote a batch of beloved Little Feat tunes (such as “Skin It Back,” “Feats Don’t Fail Me Now” and “Time Loves A Hero”) and even toured in the early incarnations of Phil Lesh & Friends. Through the years, Barrere also performed as a duo with Little Feat bandmate Fred Tackett, and also maintained a band called Better Daze with musician Roger Cole.In 1994, Barrere was diagnosed with Hepatitis C, which eventually led to an ongoing battle with Liver Disease.

5. I saw Feat live about 15 years ago at the old Sunrise Musical Theater

It was the Shaun Murphy era. It was a good show.

I've loved them ever since I heard "Oh Atlanta" as a single cut from "Waiting for Columbus." In non-Little Feat contexts, I've seen Bill Payne (with Bob Seger) and Sam Clayton (with Jimmy Buffet).

They are a great band. Feat was always thought of as a "Musician's Band" - artists loved them, but they never quite hit it big with the mainstream audience. I grew up in the DC area and they were always popular there. Large portions of "Waiting for Columbus" were recorded there. Lowell George died in the DC area - the damned fool.

I like to think that Paul is back playing with Lowell George and Richie Hayward. If there is a heaven, I hope there are still seats available.

Paul - Rest in Peace, and thank you for your part in the amazing music.
