Little Feat with Shaun Murphy

by csnowden on May 9th, 2008

So if you’re new to Little Feat, you’ve gotten a taste of the classic LF with Lowell George, then a few tunes since 1989 with Craig Fuller, and now you’ll get to catch up on some of their latest. Shaun Murphy–the incomparable songstress of soul–broke the rock ‘n roll ceiling, going from backup with LF and many other groups to a full-fledged front-line singer in ‘95. She’s been sending chills up and down spines ever since.

Shaun has a distinguished history in the business, working with Meat Loaf, Eric Clapton, Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band, and other industry greats. Her voice is clear, soulful, and nuanced. Not to mention plain ol’ B-flat kickin’ when she gets revved up on those LF driving tunes. She uses good musicianship to stay fluent and on the money. After a great show one night, I said, “Shaun, I wanna be your back-up singer!” She chuckled, and told me to stick with classical :)
