INDIO – The Little Willies, who feature Norah Jones, put together a well rounded cover set at a poor time that saw the band go head-to-head with country music superstar Hank Williams Jr. and the start of Toby Keith.I caught The Little Willies late in their set, as they were performing “I Gotta Get Drunk,” which is a cover of a Willie Nelson song. They later performed Nelson’s “Nightlife.”

“You guys are great,” Jones said during set to the audience, who cheered the band’s every song. The group also performed “Lovesick Blues,” which was made famous by Hank Williams.

The audience was small inside the Palomino Stage, however, because of who The Little Willies were up against headlining wise. The stage was maybe half full. Nonetheless, their set and especially Jones sounded great.
