Chinese Work songs is an oft overlooked modern classic by the 21st century incarnation of Little Feat. Beside wonderful contributions to the Little Feat song book, it also includes a number of covers songs such as the Band's "Rag Mama Rag" and Phish's "Sample In A Jar".
One of the cool thing about both Little Feat and the Grateful Dead is that they have both done a ton of covers of classic songs. For example, for years the Dead closed their shows with the Chuck Berry classic "Johnny B. Goode". Other songs the Dead have covered include:Good Lovin' Not Fade Away Iko IkoStagger LeeLittle Red RoosterAround and AroundNew Minglewood Bluesand a lot moreThe Dead also toured with Dylan for a while, and have performed a ton of Dylan songs including:Maggie's FarmSimple Twist of FateTangled Up In BlueHighway 61to name just a fewLittle Feat have perhaps played fewer covers than the Dead, but there's a good selection nonetheless. Besides the covers on Chinese Work Songs, other songs Little Feat have covered includeTakes a Lot to Laugh, Takes A Train to Cry44 BluesLong Black VeilCan't Be SatisfiedThey're Red Hot (Hot Tamales)On Your Way DownDon't Bogart That JointAnd of course, Little Feat have covered a number of Grateful Dead songs.The ultimate gold mine for finding these covers is on archive.org.
