One of the best bands and songs I have ever heard. And I'm not a fan of country ot western but Little Feat manages to excellently blend both with rock and roll! Love it!
That guitarist with the glasses and the vest is fantastic. As a washed-up half-decent guitarist I wish I had his right hand technique. I bet they wrote this song around this riff. He was probably just jamming one day, came up with it, and introduced it to the rest of the band. They all loved it and built a fabulous song around it. That's my guess. He is very busy for the entire song and never misses a note, and his tone is perfect. Nice and clean with some punch. I love it.
They played Bluegrass/Country in the 70s but then the 80s hit. Country went pop and they cashed in! The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and The Newgrass Revival ALL did the same thing. I really do prefer my country gritty and acoustic but I'll make some exceptions lol
I love the 60-70s hippies playing country and bluegrass thing, I LOVE American music. I was raised on it, though, my parents loved it along with 60-80s pop/rock and loads of traditional and rock/electric English and Irish folk music. Think The Dubliners and The Pentangle, I enjoy both rock and acoustic (with acoustic strings and drums).
The baddest ass song ever, ever, ever written, ever performed ... day-amn!!! Been a fan for many years and this has to be one of their all time best. Love it!
one of the best bands I ever heard ,Little Feat had a sound all their own, with the loss of Ritchie Hayward I dont they will ever have that unique sound Hayward had a style all his own,Texas Twister is a great song , with a heavy dose of the finest stratocaster pickin...man just great
Not sure I should even get started on this video. Maybe too many glasses of wine. But I will say this: love this video, total Little Feat, and I think Lowell would have loved it too, I think. He was such a problem child, you never know. But I will say this: Damn his little chubby ass, I still miss him. Glad LF managed to still carry on. Best RnR band to this day.
This is the absolute perfect blend of seasoned pro's with solid rock, southern rock, sweet subtle but spot on lead vocals, prog rock phrases with a horn section to boot. My word and thank you so much for sharing this!
I saw them play this song on an Austin tv station and besides the whole band just being bad ass, when the guitar players took off on their solos, they both watched the other with mutual admiration. Band members know what I'm talking about.
Its a brilliant song in the little feat tradition and stop going on about Lowell George he"s dead get the fuck over it if you mess with hard drugs you pay the price, George wasn"t the only band member little feat are made up of five members not one.
+Danny Roberts- ALMOST A JOKE?? You're right its all bullshit that's why I'm listening to this while I do production reports. It seems all the good music is fading away brother! Damn I must be getting old.
"Texas Twister" The siren song is strong sometimes... on this Texas radio They sure do play it hard and fast while they sell it soft and low A silky voice she spoke to me from down in San Antone "It's ladies night in Italy, you gentlemen should know" When I saw that neon sign, knew just where to go Her shoulders soft so I pulled off, her headlights aglow A bartender said to me, boy I want you to meet my sister She's high-strung and a little young, but she's a real Texas twister A real Texas twister I said "How young is too young? How fast is too fast? Well how high is too high? How high is too high?" She said "How long is this ride?" Well how long can you last? You're gonna find out mister, when you meet that Texas twister Well in the light she looked all right when we stepped outside I knew that it was meant to be when she begged me for a ride That bartender said to me, boy take your money back Before you're done you're gonna need it son - You might have a heart attack I seen the sights now, Paris, Rome, and I ain't sentimental I still remember how she said "Is this a Continental?" No babe it's just for flash and I paid cash, she hugged me up real tight Lay back honey I'll drive you home 'round the world tonight She knew where every roadhouse lies, clear down to the border Long neck Lone Stars just her size, clearly made to order Knew how to paint a cowboy town, long before I missed her She picked me up; she put me down, she's a real Texas twister I said "How young is too young? How fast is too fast? Well how high is too high? How high is too high?" She said "How long is this ride?" Well how long can you last? You're gonna find out mister, when you meet that Texas twister
@@WaylandRustyRoberts yes, but not possible, ty tho'... 🎶♡🎶 it's the 'sound' of our faster than s.o.l. electro-mag planet & universe... been there, done that, yet only b/c of a lifetime(s) of taoist-reckonings: the 'lotus-flower,' of the human brain & soul: sincerity, truthfulness, benevolence, equality & last, but not least, by far, is one's 'courtesy,' which, as we all realize, cuts both ways: YET, the Middle Path, is Already There ! & 'golden.'

Kenny Rogers plays a mean guitar, but I really like Chris Kamara on the bass. (Still my favourite Feat album, and yes I'm just trying not to mention the girl...)
Is this a continental?? tooo fuckin funny, love these guys, both versions, of course with Lowell and then with Graig,,God I miss Lowell & Richie,, thx for sharing..
Love the band, can't take this channel and all the fukin adds. No way is the channel creator a fan of the feat. Ad revenue sure as fuk better be going to the band.
And that would be because why? He loved these guys: Bill Payne, Paul Barrere, Kenny Gradney & Fred Tackett. These guys were Lowel's bandmates. (except Martin Kibbee who was a co-writer of this song, & Fred didn't 'officially' become a bandmember until Let It Roll, but had played on previous Feat albums).
+Kingscrib- You know your shit brother, these guys never got the recognition they deserved but maybe they wanted it that way but all I know is I still jam to them today at 51.
I don't really think the girl's that hot - then again, I'm weird and have standards wayy too high for some ordinary guy like me :p. Good song though :3.
My top three bands of all time. Feats don't fail me now !
One of the best bands and songs I have ever heard. And I'm not a fan of country ot western but Little Feat manages to excellently blend both with rock and roll! Love it!
Good to see the late, great Richie Hayward. No musician ever enjoyed his work more.
That guitarist with the glasses and the vest is fantastic. As a washed-up half-decent guitarist I wish I had his right hand technique. I bet they wrote this song around this riff.
He was probably just jamming one day, came up with it, and introduced it to the rest of the band. They all loved it and built a fabulous song around it. That's my guess. He is very busy for the entire song and never misses a note, and his tone is perfect. Nice and clean with some punch. I love it.
Fred Tacket
Feat has so much energy on this song. The riffs are literally the best. It's like a country beat, but with rock punch. Definitely stuck in my head.
They played Bluegrass/Country in the 70s but then the 80s hit. Country went pop and they cashed in! The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and The Newgrass Revival ALL did the same thing. I really do prefer my country gritty and acoustic but I'll make some exceptions lol

Think The Dubliners and The Pentangle, I enjoy both rock and acoustic (with acoustic strings and drums).
It's their best song far and away, still relevant after the sun goes down today.
I listen to Little Feat in the 70's, 80's, 90's and 20'. always will!!!
Love these guys. I was heartbroken when Richie passed and of course Paul. I hope the rest of the guys will find a way to continue. Best musicians ever
The baddest ass song ever, ever, ever written, ever performed ... day-amn!!! Been a fan for many years and this has to be one of their all time best. Love it!
Too damn hard to pick out a "best" Little Feat song!
@@DrJohn493 "Easy To Slip" has been mine since it came out.
Feats don't fail me now😮
Had the shoe mural painted on the fuel tank of my sporty wen that tune came out😊
one of the best bands I ever heard ,Little Feat had a sound all their own, with the loss of Ritchie Hayward I dont they will ever have that unique sound Hayward had a style all his own,Texas Twister is a great song , with a heavy dose of the finest stratocaster pickin...man just great

...never have yet...!

I had this on tape in 8th grade. back when we had rock stations
I always loved this song. A lot of great musicianship, and a ton of energy! Well done.
American rock and roll at its best.
I'm surprised this doesn't have more views, it's a great song and video.
Oh, by the way, glad to see in this video Ritchie was still with us.
I will always appreciate that dirty riff, what a damn jam. A-PLUS
Richie Hayward was just awesome.
don't overlook Kenny Gradney!
Bad Ass country rock mix
This is the absolute perfect blend of seasoned pro's with solid rock, southern rock, sweet subtle but spot on lead vocals, prog rock phrases with a horn section to boot. My word and thank you so much for sharing this!
one of the alltime greatest jam EVER
Little feat are just pure talent and when they rock out boy do they ever on this track here

I saw them play this song on an Austin tv station and besides the whole band just being bad ass, when the guitar players took off on their solos, they both watched the other with mutual admiration. Band members know what I'm talking about.
Feats never fail!!
This is a great play list! Thanks.
KILLER TUNE!!!
Rest in Peace, Lowell George.
Its a brilliant song in the little feat tradition and stop going on about Lowell George he"s dead get the fuck over it if you mess with hard drugs you pay the price, George wasn"t the only band member little feat are made up of five members not one.
Shut the fuck up
Lowell George couldn"t have done it with out the rest of the band it wasn"t a one man band you know they"re all mullti talented

Love Little Feat, Born in 1941
They can still boogie.
This is so much better than the acoustic junk they've done lately.
what ever happen to music that was this good?????
I hear ya Rick, what's on radio today is almost a joke, it's all horse shit in my opinion !
+Danny Roberts- ALMOST A JOKE?? You're right its all bullshit that's why I'm listening to this while I do production reports. It seems all the good music is fading away brother! Damn I must be getting old.
"Texas Twister"
The siren song is strong sometimes... on this Texas radio
They sure do play it hard and fast while they sell it soft and low
A silky voice she spoke to me from down in San Antone
"It's ladies night in Italy, you gentlemen should know"
When I saw that neon sign, knew just where to go
Her shoulders soft so I pulled off, her headlights aglow
A bartender said to me, boy I want you to meet my sister
She's high-strung and a little young, but she's a real Texas twister
A real Texas twister
I said "How young is too young? How fast is too fast?
Well how high is too high? How high is too high?"
She said "How long is this ride?" Well how long can you last?
You're gonna find out mister, when you meet that Texas twister
Well in the light she looked all right when we stepped outside
I knew that it was meant to be when she begged me for a ride
That bartender said to me, boy take your money back
Before you're done you're gonna need it son -
You might have a heart attack
I seen the sights now, Paris, Rome, and I ain't sentimental
I still remember how she said "Is this a Continental?"
No babe it's just for flash and I paid cash, she hugged me up real tight
Lay back honey I'll drive you home 'round the world tonight
She knew where every roadhouse lies, clear down to the border
Long neck Lone Stars just her size, clearly made to order
Knew how to paint a cowboy town, long before I missed her
She picked me up; she put me down, she's a real Texas twister
I said "How young is too young? How fast is too fast?
Well how high is too high? How high is too high?"
She said "How long is this ride?" Well how long can you last?
You're gonna find out mister, when you meet that Texas twister
This is universal-flight-music, i don't care what it means to 'people-society,' i just like the 'twist,' "Got to get me ONE OF THESE !!!"
Be careful what you ask for...

The entire album that this song came off of is really good! Also? Please listen to 70s Little Feat ❤
👍👍👍
RIP PAul!
Richie's shirt is the shit....made me bust a gut LOL
Yes that's me back on the drums
Okay, lets get to the important stuff: What is the name of that gorgeous Texas Twister? My gosh she is so easy on the eyes, woof!
Lead vocalist on this one is Paul Barrere.
The girl’s got all the right attitudes, proves these men anyway, have good imaginations, lol💞
What was that other video that look like something out of a movie soundtrack to this?
nice, a Blue Strat, very rare
Love the music...but WHO is that girl?
w5cdt
I KNOW, RIGHT !?!?
Kenny Rogers plays a mean guitar, but I really like Chris Kamara on the bass.
(Still my favourite Feat album, and yes I'm just trying not to mention the girl...)
Was that the real Kramer at 1:03
Harry Dean Stanton with the cameo as the bartender
Actually, that's Larry Hankin.
Good catch. My bad.
Does anyone know who plays the bartender and his sister in this video? They look really familiar
Is this a continental?? tooo fuckin funny, love these guys, both versions, of course with Lowell and then with Graig,,God I miss Lowell & Richie,, thx for sharing..
Is that George Fuller on the lead vocal?
paul barrere
"Man, I just play the drums and do the African face..."
How high is to high? How fast is to fast?
That waitress sure does look like to CW recording star, Miranda Lambert.
I guess this was before her time, but the likeness is amazing.
I Haven't heard this song in years. Who's the babe in the video? She's gotta be one of the hottest chick I've ever seen.
I really didn't mind this album..But no Lowell George....No Feat...
who's the bald headed guy at the table?....I think its an Austin musician
0:47 Mel Gibson sighting?!?!?
Not unlike, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Can't stand that southern, Man Rock.
“How young is too young?” wtf
Dint get better than this!
Love the band, can't take this channel and all the fukin adds. No way is the channel creator a fan of the feat. Ad revenue sure as fuk better be going to the band.
Nice !! Real nice 😊
Lowell would be so pissed
I don't think so...
And that would be because why? He loved these guys: Bill Payne, Paul Barrere, Kenny Gradney & Fred Tackett. These guys were Lowel's bandmates. (except Martin Kibbee who was a co-writer of this song, & Fred didn't 'officially' become a bandmember until Let It Roll, but had played on previous Feat albums).
+Kingscrib- You know your shit brother, these guys never got the recognition they deserved but maybe they wanted it that way but all I know is I still jam to them today at 51.
What are you talking about you idiot he would be proud they carried on that song is pure rock & Roll your an idiot
EWWWWWWWWW
I don't really think the girl's that hot - then again, I'm weird and have standards wayy too high for some ordinary guy like me :p.
Good song though :3.
