So earlier this week, as a Christmas present to myself, I splurged on some Desert Rose Band CDs (I'm going through a sort of Chris Hillman phase at the moment) and I rediscovered their 1989 hit version of one of my favorite songs -- John Hiatt's "She Don't Love Nobody."
Which I had originally heard in Nick Lowe's quite different version four years earlier.
In any event, it occurred to me that I'd never heard it done by its composer, so I did a little research and guess what?
There is no extant version of it that I can find. Apparently, it was just a songwriting demo that Lowe and DRB came across. Or something.
No larger point to the story, but I must admit it surprised me.
Have a great weekend, everybody!!!

Two excellent performances of a fine song. Surprised John Hiatt never recorded it. I knew the Lowe version, but the DRB is new to me.

Both versions are aural pleasures. I'm with you on the Hillman kick, of which I am currently on, as well as a John Jorgenson binge courtesy of some extended DRB listening.
Wow! Guess which group that DRB version reminded me of right off the bat (minus the steel guitar)?
SteveS: You noticed.:-)
I had it amongst my 531 tracks I have of his on something called The Bug Demos 1983-85
Found this from googling;
