Fred Tackett (born August 30, 1945) an American native of Arkansas, is an accomplished songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Originally a session player on guitar, mandolin, and trumpet, he is best known as a member of the band Little Feat. In addition to his work with the Little Feat, Tackett has played and recorded with many notable artists, Jimmy Webb among them. He has an additional side project with another member of Little Feat; he performs as part of a duo with Paul Barrere, as Paul and Fred. ==Association with Little Feat== Tackett's association with Little Feat goes back to a friendship with the founder of the band, Lowell George at the time of its inception. Working as a session player for other musicians, he continued his friendship with the bandmates, and contributed a song ''Fool Yourself'' to their third album ''Dixie Chicken'' as well as acoustic guitar. He also contributed guitar to their sixth album ''Time Loves a Hero''. In 1979 he co-wrote songs with Lowell George for both George's first (and only) solo project ''Thanks, I'll Eat It Here'', and Little Feat's album ''Down on the Farm''. It was during work on the latter that the group's break-up was announced. Lowell George died shortly afterwards. In 1983, he performed on the Antilles Records release ''Swingrass '83''.〔(Allmusic review )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fred Tackett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
