OK, I've seen Little Village mentioned a couple of times now, and IMHO they don't fit the bill. I think of them more as a Supergroup composed of 4 of the best in the business, i.e. Cooder, Hiatt, Keltner and Lowe.
Although I own the CD and listen to it on occassion, I think the whole is way less than the sum of the parts.
Heck, If we're going to include "bands" like Little Village, I'll through Rockpile into the mix......
Enjoy,
