For Ry Cooder and John Hiatt Fans

I've caught John Hiatt several times (solo, combo, Lyle Lovett, Sonny Landreth), and was lucky enough to catch Ry once while touring with Ricky Scaggs. Both are American treasures. 

Huge Ry Cooder fan as well as John Hiatt and you know when you see that he had a hand in a project it's very often something very special. BTW, the other artist I am thinking of that fit that slot are Leon Russell, T. Bone Burnett and Allan Toussaint. Enjoy the music

Glad you enjoyed it. You tube has some awful dreck but also many treasures. 
Here's another from British TV:

I’ve seen him just once, as a solo act at the Crest Theater in Sacramento. Great musician and as it turned out, a great entertainer. A thoroughly enjoyable show, on all levels.

Agree those are all fine artists...   have you heard this:

@stuartk  The Old Grey Whistle Test was such a great program.  Soooooo many performances I've loved over the years.  

I got to see Emmylou Harris back in the 80's at the University of Alberta.  The Myer Horowitz Theater to be exact.  683 seats.  What I remember about her show was the configuration of the stage.  All the musicians  were set up in a straight line.  Emmylou in the middle and the drums on one end.  It struck me she was saying everyone is equal in this performance.  Great show.  I've seen many fabulous shows at that venue over the years.  From Johnny Winter to David Grisman.  The most recent was Dweezil Zappa performing the entire Hot Rats LP.  Saw his father a few times.  Always fun.  Cheers.

Hearing Little Village (John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, and Jim Keltner) perform "Lipstick Sunset" (from John’s Bring The Family album) live was unquestionably the high point of my live music experience. During Ry’s guitar solo in the song I felt like time had stopped.
