Does anyone remember these guys? I want to say they only put out the one album but there may have been a second.

Ry Cooder
John Hiatt
Jim Keltner
Nick Lowe

So I went out for Record Store Day to look for a few things and everything was gone that I was looking for but this was there. I have it on cassette from way back when. Hiatt does all the lead vocals. I have no clue how I knew about them but I'm so glad I did.

It wasn't cheap but I played it a couple of times today and it reminds me of being a teen. Great stuff. The lineup is very impressive.

I remember the Little Village album. It was released in 91 or 92. There was only the one record. Don't believe it sold very well but I really liked it. These were the same guys that played on Hiatt's classic Bring The Family.

I didn't know all those guys were on Bring the Family. So basically the same band. Pretty impressive lineup. Seems like Keltner has been on everything.

Don't know how many times this band toured. Had the good fortune of seeing them at the Tower Theater in Philly. They were outstanding. With a lineup like they had I would have been disappointed with anything less.

I think this was a 1 album and 1 tour group as Little Village. It is a fun album and I saw them on the tour I believe at The Orpheum in Boston.
