Bill Payne has worked and recorded with a lot of other musicians including J.J. Cale , Doobie Brothers , Emmylou Harris , Bryan Adams , Pink Floyd , Bob Seger , Toto , Linda Ronstadt , Jackson Browne , James Taylor , Bonnie Raitt , Helen Watson , Stevie Nicks , and Shocking Edison . He is featured frequently playing the synthesizer, organ, fender rhodes, and piano on Bonnie Raitt 's album, Sweet Forgiveness in 1977. He also wrote "Takin' My Time." Bill Payne was a pioneer in the development of online music communities. In the early 1990s, he contacted his fan base, and enlisted the help of friend Jay Herbst to develop the Little Feat Grass-roots Movement. This model went on to be a template for many bands in the creation of their " Street Team s." Street Teams enlist the help of bands' fans for purposes of music and concert promotion. These street teams have proven to be an effective vehicle for bringing bands and fans closer together, and forging friendships between them. As an example, Jay Herbst's own band, Shocking Edison , released it's debut CD, ''Scientific Curiosity'' in 2006, which featured Billy Payne on keyboards and Hammond B3 . The Boat Drunks , a Jimmy Buffet-style band, includes another fan-turned-friend, Larry Lister, on drums. The Boat Drunks were added to Bill Payne's own record label, Hot Tomato Records . Although Bill Payne has been in the music business for more than 30 years, playing on more than 350 records, he did not release a solo album until the all-instrumental ''Cielo Norte'' in February 2005.
