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'...

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
