The Daily Deep Cut

The editors at JamsBio like to think of ourselves as music fans first, not critics, and that’s the sensibility we strive for at JamsBio and that we seek in other sites as well. That’s why we’re so jazzed about Damn Fine Day, a site that each day profiles a deep album cut that’s been overlooked, but deserves a place in everybody’s collection. In the name of spreading the gospel about great music, we present “The Daily Deep Cut,” where we add our two cents about the songs featured on Damn Fine Day. Once you read our unique take, we’ll send you over to Damn Fine Day so you can stream the full track and download it if you like. Sometimes we might even suggest another deep track from the same album or present some other novel twist on what their hawking.

Waiting for Columbus has to be one of the best live albums ever recorded and “Spanish Moon” perfectly encapsulates everything that made Little Feat a treasure: deep, funky Hammond B-3 organ, killer horn charts by the Tower of Power, a groovin’ bass line, and incomparable vocals by Lowell George. With a rip-roaring Nawlins flavor underpinning the proceedings, Waiting for Columbus finds Little Feat burning through great song after great song, from “The Fat Man in the Bath Tub” (with its blistering slide guitar solo) to Willin’ (the quintessential truck driver anthem). This is Southern boogie that’s pure party music. Don’t believe me? Well then head over to Damn Fine Day and get a taste with “Spanish Moon.” Then ice the beer and boil dem crawfish!
