Wow, didn't know about this Feat/EWF connection (from FB):

With 2023 and all that portends for the hope and promise for Little Feat, we were reminded recently of our past by the passing of one who brought a lot of joy to our lives. Freddie White played drums with us for a brief while in the 70s. He brought a great feel to the band, along with some memorable jams he and I had that provided a musical form for “Day At The Dog Races.” Freddie went on to play with his brothers in Earth, Wind and Fire. And while Little Feat morns his loss, we also salute him as having been one of our brothers, too. With all love and respect to Freddie White (67 years old).

Little Feat announced details of their upcoming Fall Tour 2023 which will consist of two-night stands in each city they visit in September and October. The legendary band will perform their classic albums Sailin Shoes and Dixie Chicken at each stop of the tour.

Along with The Albums Tour announcement, Little Feat confirmed deluxe reissues of Sailin’ Shoes, which originally came out in 1972, and Dixie Chicken, which marks the 50th-anniversary of its release this year. The new versions of the two albums will be released by Rhino Records on June 23 with Sailin’ Shoes expanding to include a live performance taped in 1971 and Dixie Chicken filled out with live recordings from 1973, along with other rarities and unreleased tracks.

Lot of songs here I don’t recognize, need to remedy that

no one wants to cover "the fan"?

Inara George covered "Trouble" on both of the older ones.

“The fan” is great

Made a playlist of the lesser known (to me) songs from the tributes

Some classics in there.

Glen Campbell covered "Roll (Um) Me Easy" in the mid-'70s on an album otherwise made up of Jimmy Webb songs.

Four CD reissue of Feats Don't Fail Me Now:

https://store.rhino.com/en/rhino-store/artists/little-feat/feats-dont-fail-me-now-3cd-bundle/081227814588.html

The fourth disc I guess is a website exclusive?

(xp) I'd rather have had an entire album of Jimmy Webb songs (there was also a song by Jimmy Webb's sister Susan on the album too tbf).

I don't usually advise to look into the comments sections, but Fred Tackett chimes in on that Campbell video discussing Webb & George's friendship.
