Dead Heads will have two reasons to check out Little Feat keyboardist Bill Payne's May solo tour. Many will know that he has recently collaborated with Robert Hunter - four songs by them, including the title tune Rooster Rag, are on last year's Feat album. In fact, the duo are now up to 15 songs together, and many of the newest are part of Bill's solo show.

Continuing on with last week’s theme—Robert Hunter—I want to turn the spotlight to his post-Garcia songwriting collaborations, many of which are excellent.
