Little Feat, a band well-known as the originator of the highly-covered song 'Dixie Chicken,' has amassed some of country's heaviest hitters for their upcoming release, 'Join The Band.' The album includes contributions by Vince Gill, Brooks & Dunn and Emmylou Harris. Gill lends his vocal abilities on a remake of 'Dixie Chicken,' while Brooks & Dunn collaborate on 'Willin.' Harris finishes out the song list by lending her harmonies on 'Sailing Shoes.' Not limited to country icons, the album also includes Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, and Jimmy Buffet, who makes two appearances on the CD, on 'Champion of the World' and 'Time Loves a Hero'.

Little Feat have long been immersed in country music. The entire band backed Travis Tritt on 'Bible Belt' for the soundtrack to the movie 'My Cousin Vinny.' Keyboard player Bill Payne played with Harris on several of her hits, as well as on 'Lookin' For Love' by Johnny Lee. Guitarist Fred Tackett counts Glen Campbell, Kenny Rogers and Clint Black among his credits.
