Great show last night, although both me and the little lady were under the weather dropping antibiotics to combat a nice mutual case of streph throat...

Great synergy between John and this band. The guitarist had a distinctive twist to the 'delta blues' sound, slide and all. Sort of had a Garcia-esque way of building on a theme without sounding at all like Garcia. Oops, gotta run.

I love John Hiatt! His songs really touch me as we are just about the same age and have some of the same issues, lol.

Ever hear the record by Little Village? It was a short lived band that consisted of Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick something (English bass player, last name down the memory hole) and Jim Keltner. Great roots rock wth world music atonality.

Edit: Nick Lowe was the bass player.

Solar Sex Panel is one of my favorites from that record!

So many good songs on that!! It's a shame more people haven't heard it.

Some other faves: Don't Think About Her While You Try To Drive
Don't Bug Me While I'm Working(Sonny Boy samples)
