Kickin' It at the Barn is the 14th studio album by the American rock band Little Feat, released in 2003 (see 2003 in music). The album's name came from its recording at guitarist Fred Tackett's barn in Topanga Canyon. Tackett made his debut as a lead vocalist on this album with his own song In A Town Like This, fifteen years after he joined the group. The song also served as the title track of Tackett's solo debut, released the same year.
