In 1987 Fuller was hired by Little Feat to front the band, who had long ago noticed an uncanny resemblance in his voice to that of their late founder and frontman, Lowell George. Fuller's first LP with the band was Let It Roll. He recorded two further albums with Little Feat before leaving the band in 1993. He made a guest appearance on their 1996 live album Live From Neon Park. He is one of several guest artists on Little Feat's 2008 album Join the Band duetting with percussionist Sam Clayton on the Lowell George classic "Spanish Moon."

Fuller reformed Pure Prairie League in 1998.[1] This incarnation recorded one album, All In Good Time, released in 2005.

Fuller opened for and sat in with Little Feat on New Year's Eve 2011 at the Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD when the band performed their live album Waiting For Columbus in its entirety.

gollark: Your final project can be a very slow edit distance lookup thing?
gollark: It's hard to make something which is simple, nice, recognisable at small sizes, and not already in use, really.
gollark: Website and profile picture and whatever else.
gollark: I was considering designing a personal logo I could use for my website but never came up with anything I liked.
