John Hiatt's 1987 album "Bring The Family" remains one of my favourites to this day.

He was asked to nominate his ideal backing band and subsequently secured his choices of Ry Cooder (guitar), Nick Lowe (bass) and Jim Keltner (drums).  The chemistry was such that these four joined up again in 1992 to record an album under the name of Little Village but, sadly, the magic did not quite happen the second time around.

    There are some high points on that album but few and far between.

    Just didn't work more's the pity...the old football adage of a team of champions v a champion team comes to mind.

    Found this earlier today from the show I went to, morphs into "Slow Turning".

    Funny some of the things you remember but Hiatt's facial expressions when he's selling a song always stuck with me, a magic live performer.

    I was looking on YouTube for the version of Living a Little, Loving a Little that Hiatt did with my favourite artist, Elvis Costello, but unfortunately could not find it.  However, I did find this video of Costello with one of my other favourites, the legendary George Jones...

    You'll need to follow the link as apparently YouTube doesn't allow embedding of this particular link (at least, that's what the message said as I pasted it here).

    If we're going of the well beaten rock n roll track to parts less known, here's a couple from Japan in the late 80's early 90's...

    Firstly, a band called S.E.X doing a tune called After the War (one of the first things I saw on the big screen on the side of the Studio Alta building in Shinjuku:

     

    Next up is the band Complex formed by guitarist Hotei who was previously with a band called Boøwy (first seen on the same big screen as the previous song).  He was also responsible for the instrumental in Kill Bill:

    And now two tunes from one of my favourite bands anywhere on the planet (although now long gone), the Blue Hearts; hopefully I haven't posted these in the past.  First song is Train Train, and the second is Linda Linda, which we used to do in one of my bands in the 90's, much to the consternation of the local punters...

    Well I believe we're a bit of an eclectic group here HT so alternative rock/modern rock/progressive rock/classic rock or whatever other type of rock fits the bill. But I reckon European rock misses out a bit in terms of recognition.  As well as other parts of the world apart from the U.S, the U.K and here in Oz

    Even back to were it all started - the 50's and beyond, speaking of which ...

    I stumbled across www.digitaldreamdoor.com whilst doing a google music search and that site has lists of music from all sorts.  As well as movies, books etc.  Good site if one needs a short cut or 2

    It's pretty easy to see why "The Eagles" asked Vince to join.

    Not only talented but apparently a really good person, does a lot behind the scenes to help others in trouble.

    Always loved this song...a tribute to the writer Mac Davis

    6.30pm tonight (SBS Viceland)

    'Country Music' 2nd episide (Ken Burns) ... part 1 is available on SBS On Demand

    Often heard that rock n roll (and later on all the off-shoots of rock) was borne out of Country Music roots.  Stand corrected of course

    The first episode was good so definitely worth a look

    I have the full set on DVD.  It is very good, but if you want to get the real nitty gritty on country music, I recommend the podcast Cocaine & Rhinestones which is presented by Tyler Mayhan Coe, son of outlaw country musician, David Allan Coe... it is brilliant.

    Went on a bit of a Live Aid binge late last year and came across Dire Straits performance from the same year at Wembley. I've since watched it a few times, one of their better live shows on Youtube I reckon.

    Imagine we're right in the middle of the Aussie Pub Rock scene, mid 70's Australia.

    At one of the great beer barns the Mathew Flinders Hotel.

    ...and in drops these guys. The reaction was very mixed to say the least (something about horses hoofs) but I loved them the moment they started playing.

    It was so different visually as well as musically.

    Of course the dance floor was empty so Tim & Noel used the space to do that crazy dance they used to do, kind of a frenetic version of the skinhead dance.

    I may have posted this before but am having a bit of an 'Enz binge after checking out 'Forenzics'...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
