LITTLE WINGS, LEE BAGGETT
(Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi) Little Wings (AKA Kyle Field) is an act that has to be experienced live. Over the past five years, I’ve managed to watch as he turned living room floors into electrified dance parties, and turned record stores into sad, somber vigils. I once even followed him, like he was the Pied Piper, as he lead a group of kids down to the beach to sit underneath the stars and sing in some sort of hippie peace circle. Even if you’re not a fan of his Will Oldham-esque shambling folk songs, witnessed live, Little Wings is completely engaging and totally entertaining, and the man has some serious charisma to boot. I mean, he got me to participate in a hippie peace circle, and that has got to stand for something, right? ROB SIMONSEN
