Johnnie speaks to Bill Payne and Paul Barrere from Little Feat, and Jimmy Cliff goes back 40 years to remember the movie The Harder They Come.
Bill Payne and Paul Barrere, from Jimmy Page's "favourite American band" Little Feat, are Johnnie's guests this week.
Founded by Lowell George, "the Orson Welles of rock 'n' roll" according to Jackson Browne in 1969, the band fused rock 'n' roll, blues, country, gospel, junk and jazz to become a cult band, beloved by musos, fellow musicians and live audiences alike.
Following two albums, guitarist Paul Barrere joined the line-up in in 1972 before the band released their funkier feeling album Dixie Chicken and Paul went on to become co-songwriter with keyboardist Bill Payne. They talk to Johnnie about their body of work in the 70s, being asked to jam with the Stones, and the untimely death of Lowell George.
Also on the show Johnnie celebrates 40 years of The Harder The Come. It was the first commercial movie to be completely produced in Jamaica and was a big success, making even more of a star of lead actor and musician Jimmy Cliff. in My 70s, Jimmy re-visits the making of the film, discusses the success of his soundtrack, and why he's covered The Clash's Guns of Brixton on his new album.
