From 1992, it's Little Village -- featuring John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe and Jim Keltner.
Taped on a day when they just might have been the greatest rock-and-roll band in the world. Or as Hiatt told MOJO last month,
"It came apart and I'm not sure how. Nick says he's not sure either...I was scared. I think we all were. We were thrust out there when we were just finding our legs. Some shows were magic, you could levitate, the whole place was vibrating..."
They can all make more money on their own. I have little doubt that's the bottom line, but you can't blame them for not really wanting to admit that.
ReplyDeleteSmokin' cut.
Indeed it is.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom line is, the disc they made was Godfucking awful and it rightly resides in a 99 cent bin in every record store across America.
ReplyDeleteDude, I don't believe you need to capitalize "godfucking". Although we probably should check out Strunk & White to be sure.
ReplyDeleteI actually agree about the album. I was very disappointed with it at the time.
ReplyDeleteBut clearly, live they were...astounding.
Steve, I was really looking forward to it when it came out! It was just so lifeless and bland. Too bad they just didn't record a live record!
ReplyDeleteCooder looks so young!
