From Huffpost Culture July 3, 2012 Best Rock, Pop and Soul Music for 2012 Part 2 By Dusty Wright

"Rooster Rag" Little Feat Rooster Rag (Rounder) -- With the loss of original drummer  Richie Hayward in 2010, some wondered who might replace his funky gumbo rock backbeat. Happy to report that new drummer Gabriel Ford has done so with aplomb. Moreover, the band added legendary Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter to the fray. He and Bill Payne co-wrote the title track -- my favorite -- and three more of the 12 songs on their 16th studio effort, one of their best post-Lowell George LPs.
