Let It Roll by Little Feat

Let It Roll, Little Feat's eighth studio album, arrived on Warner Bros. in 1988, the sound of a band catching its second wind. Lowell George had died in 1979, and this was the first Feat studio record without him; the survivors had re-formed in 1987 and brought in Craig Fuller, a founding member of Pure Prairie League, who co-wrote eight of the ten songs and sang most of the leads.

Bill Payne produced and manned the keyboards, with Paul Barrère and Fred Tackett on guitars, Kenny Gradney on bass, Richie Hayward on drums and Sam Clayton on percussion, and the groove is as loose-hipped and rolling as the title promises. It worked: "Hate to Lose Your Lovin'" gave them their first number one on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, the album went gold in February 1989, kicked off a real comeback and picked up a Grammy nomination for its engineering.
