a classic
, April 15, 2003Reviewer:
David B - See all David B's reviews Ive had this cd for about 14 years now, and of all the cd's Ive ever heard, this is as close to perfect as i can think of. I cannot think of a better disc than this. Every level, musically, lyrically, soulfully, whatever, will blow you away. I cant play a single instrument, but the song "Learning how to Love You" ,makes me wish I could play guitar. Not a single weak moment on this cd! -

Pro Reviews: Bring the Family
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews In 1987, John Hiatt, clean and sober and looking for an American record deal, was asked by an AR man at a British label to name his dream band. After a little thought, Hiatt replied that if he had his druthers, he'd cut a record with Ry Cooder on guitar, Nick Lowe on bass, and Jim Keltner on drums. To Hiatt's surprise, he discovered all three were willing to work on his next album; Hiatt and his dream band went into an L.A. studio and knocked off Bring the Family in a mere four days, and the result was the best album of Hiatt's career. The musicians certainly make a difference here, generating a lean, smoky groove that's soulful and satisfying (Ry Cooder's guitar work is especially impressive, leaving no doubt of his singular gifts without ever overstepping its boundaries), but the real triumph here is Hiatt's songwriting. Bring the Family was recorded after a period of great personal turmoil for him, and for the most part the archly witty phrasemaker of his earlier albums was replaced by an wiser and more cautious writer who had a great deal to say about where life and love can take you. Hiatt had never written anything as nakedly confessional as "Tip of My Tongue" or "Learning How to Love You" before, and even straightahead RBstyle rockers like "Memphis in the Meantime" and "Thing Called Love" possessed a weight and resonance he never managed before. But Bring the Family isn't an album about tragedy, it's about responsibility and belatedly growing up, and it's appropriate that it was a band of seasoned veterans with their own stories to tell about life who helped Hiatt bring it across; it's a rich and satisfying slice of grownup rock roll. - Mark Deming, All Music Guide |
