Bill Payne and Fred Tackett of Little Feat, along with Scott Sharrard, who was recently added as a guitarist and vocalist, have released a quarantine version of "Fool Yourself," a song written by Tackett.
The video features Payne, Tackett and Sharrard, along with Jordan Rose on drums, Eric Finland (keyboards), Ben Zwerin (bass), Mary Corso (vocals) and Moses Petrou (percussion). Each musician performed their part while at home, and the final audio was mixed by Charles A. Martinez.
"I want to thank Scott Sharrard for the invite to participate on this rendition of Fred Tackett’s song 'Fool Yourself,'" said Bill Payne in a statement in the video's description. "My heartfelt thanks also to all who played on the song and for their generosity in including Fred and me in the festivities. I truly hope we can do this someday all together in the same place. Who knows? Maybe Little Feat will do a video!"
"My recent induction into the Little Feat family has been an overwhelming joy, great people making truly great music, what more could you ask for?" said Sharrard in the same statement. "My buddies Eric Finland and Jordan Rose are really good at doing these 'virtual' collaboration videos... As Bill Payne and Fred Tackett and I chatted on the phone I started to realize, maybe these guys want to jam on this thing? After all, Fred wrote this incredible song (orginally sung by my hero Lowell George on the Dixie Chicken record). Bill and Fred, two of the coolest guys I know, immediately jumped at the chance to collaborate this way during this time of isolation. I wasn't surprised, but I was delighted!"
