This Is The Best One Of Three Already Purchased-More To Come
I love that my husband heard one of John Hiatt's songs on the radio in Dutch Harbor, Alaska and so I proceeded to find him and I purchased three of his cd's and now I plan on purchasing more. Of the three cd's I purchased this is the best one! This is great music. I love his music. Thanks -Sara-.


Peak Hiatt
I recall a small documentary on his that came out at about to coincide with its launch, and if the recall is accurate, I think it was none less than John Lee Hooker who confides that when he first heard Hiatt on record, he and friends thought it was a black guy. Hiatt never sounded more gut-wrenchingly 'authentic' than on this very touching work. That's some testimony to the conviction Hiatt brings to his rootsy-styles singing and playing. 'Have a Little Faith in Me' has recently been re-recorded by someone who is getting current airplay, a disembowelling of it's originator's intention. It is from this point of the collection of 'Family ' songs that the big end of his muse lights up; a wonderful record for all time. .


Great Music
I loved it so much that I've purchased several others since. This was my first John Hiatt CD. This is still my favorite. In my opinion, John Hiatt is a great singer/songwriter that doesn't get the attention he deserves.


Like a rocker on a porch on a summer evening.
He still featurs a couple of songs off here in his live shows. Bring the Family is one of the most easily likable records of the 80s, and probably the most instantly accessible of Hiatt's career. The band (Hiatt, Nick Lowe on bass, Ry Cooder on guitar, and Jim Keltner on drums) would reconvene in 1992 for another overlooked gem, Little Village. Here Cooder's gentle sweeping guitar is the perfect compliment for Hiatt's "Lipstick Sunset" and "Tip of My Tongue," two of the most exquisite songs you're likely to hear. Of course the big hit is "Thing Called Love," although not until Bonnie Raitt put it out the following year.

A quintessentially American record, probably the best from one of our true masters. At the place where rock, folk, country, and blues converge to form real, authentic American music. I'm calling it a classic.


Bring The Family
He puts whatever he has to say in plain language and rock & roll songs. John is always fun and interesting no matter what he's telling you about. I've heard this CD over and over again and it always sounds fresh to me. I'd recommend it to anyone. .
