John Hiatt - Bring the Family .gif) By Michael Ruby
Even John Hiatt's most ardent fans weren't ready for this masterpiece
to be dropped in their laps in 1987. Hiatt had spent most of the 70's and
80's playing pick-a-style, bouncing from southern country rock to Elvis
Costello redux and back again. With Family, though, he pared away
every bit of excess and delivered his best set of songs with the
understated, impossibly tasteful backing of Nick Lowe on bass, Ry Cooder
on guitar and Jim Keltner on drums. Hiatt's sober, uncompromising
examination of his previously drunken life was breathtaking; producing
instant classics in "Have a Little Faith in Me" and "Thing
Called Love." Family remains a landmark of adult album rock.
