Little Feat and Thin Lizzy are, in my opinion, the two best bands from the 70's and are both criminally underrated. Much like you and all the Vulfpeck guys.

    I finally decided to watch the video to see if I could make out the words he was singing with the talk box. But of course, I discover he's just scatting. Consistent with his style. Katzman scats along to guitar riffs and solos in a lot of his music. Mostly the solo stuff. So why would it be any different with the talk box? It makes perfect sense.
