While I’m at it, here’s another. Well, 3/4th’s American anyway; Nick Lowe is English. Little Village (just a coincidence ;-) live is one of the greatest musical experiences of my life. One of the few "Super Groups" (John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, Jim Keltner) who in my book actually lives up to that title. Their single album was a disappointment, they were better as a group on John Hiatt’s fantastic Bring The Family album. Here they are on The Tonight Show, the only time I can remember in which the musical guest is given the time to perform two songs:

Many do not know this. Lowell George is a graduate of the Frank Zappa school of rock and roll and conceptual continuity. You might note the similarity of the art of some of Frank's record covers and that of the Little Feat Covers. Lowell love the cover of Weasels Ripped My Flesh and took the artist, Neon Park right along with him for Little Feat.  

Question. What three singers comprised the Little Feat Auxiliary? Which one married Lowell and which one was heart broken. Hint, He taught her how to play slide guitar.
