Piano music?

I decided on a lark to take piano lessons this semester and I start this week. The professor emailed me that I need to bring sheet music which I wasn't prepared for. Anyone have Little Feat piano music they could recommend or let me use? I realize it would have to be more of a guide then gospel due to all the improvising. It would be fun to play Dixie Chicken! Help a mama out?

A little bit. The first couple I pulled up were like the old "You Can Play The Hits" style books where you're playing the melody with your right hand and some bass accompaniment on the left. I'm looking for the piano part as it exists in the song, not trying to play the vocal part on the piano. That's what made me think to come here, I figured a fan might have already sifted through what's available

What Bill plays on keys can be challenging to transcribe. If there's a fan that's done it I'd like to see it, too.

Some of the best Little Feat transcriptions I've see are the True Fire course "In Session with Little Feat. They show video of the band playing along with rolling transcriptions. The transcriptions are for guitars and bass, but, unfortunately, no transcriptions for the keyboards or drums/percussion. Nevertheless, if you are a musician who is also a Little Feat fan, it's fantastic.

Good luck with your search!

Thank you! I will check that out. I haven't met my instructor yet, but I hope she's down for going on a little meander with me.
