For Ry Cooder and John Hiatt Fans


Paris, France, 1980. Maybe some of you have seen this. I just discovered it, today:

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.

 

@stuartk yes I have heard it, bought it when it first came out on vinyl and included a CD version that stays in my truck. The vinyl is wonderfully done as is the CD and the sound quality is a 10. Don’t overlook his second album from 1970, From a whisper to a scream w/Mac Rebennack and also The River in Reverse, with Elvis Costello and the Crescent City Horns with one of my favorite AT songs, All These Things, which my date and I danced cheek to cheek to @ Pauls Lounge in Jenerette La. with AT and his band playing at my Senior prom in 1970. Thanks for stirring up these memories. Enjoy the music

Well, it’s pretty great on the record, so I have no difficulty believing you!

Will look those up. Thanks!

I saw her in ’76 and then, The Hot Band with Rodney doing all the lead vocals, at the Bluebird Cafe a few years later, with both F. Reckard and A. Lee on guitar. these gigs were in Santa Barbara, which was a music lover’s paradise in the 70’s. 

You know the saying: "There are only two kinds of men in this world; those who are in love with EmmyLou and those who've yet to discover her".   ;o) 

 

I miss most big acts because I'm unwilling to pay the high prices. John Hiatt comes in my area yearly
