Bring the Family by John Hiatt 1987
jim Keltner on Drums, Ry Cooder on guitar, Nick Lowe on Bass and Hiatt on acoustic guitar and piano. All songs written by Hiatt. Think just about every critic loved it but it didn’t sell that well. My fave track is Alone in the dark, it’s so atmospheric and Keltners drums sound like cannon fire in the distance.
Album number 2 is Souther Hillman Furay band .
JD Souther singer songwriter and credited with helping form the Eagles with his girlfriend Linda Ronstadt.
chris Hillman, singer, mandolini,guitar, bassist with Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers and Manassas and Desert Rose band.
Richie Furay, singer songwriter guitarist with Buffalo Springfield, Poco.
Al Perkins steel and guitar with just about everyone and lovely guy.
Did two albums then split, my fave track is Title track of second album, Trouble In Paradise.

I think this was Lloyd's worst-selling album, but I really don't know why - OK, it was a bit of a change in sonic direction (self-parodied later on 'I Tried To Rock') and might have been a bit of a surprise to some of his previous fans, but it's actually not that different even by his fairly subtle standards, and there are some absolutely brilliant songs on it, not least My Way To You (one of my favourite of all his catalogue), Mister Wrong, and the closer Can't Get Arrested.
The guitar sound on My Way To You alone is worth listening to the album for.

Fantasy Shift by Here and Now.
A wonderful, long lost album by the best live band I've ever seen.
No, it's not wonderfully produced and only gives a flavour of how amazing they were.
Was lucky to see and follow them around for a while, even luckier to pick this up on vinyl when it eventually had a limited release in the late 80's.
If you've ever seen them live, you'll understand.
And this, the 3 EP's by The Beta Band.
Absolute genius from start to finish.
And this.
Cassette only, wonderful, wonderful noise....
My youth, on a cheap C90.
Another Muscle Shoals band effort, Millie Jackson's Caught Up, a kinda concept. You haven't truly heard Summer The First Time until it's performed by Ms Jackson complete with wakka guitar riff by Jimmy Johnson but soup to nuts, it's a great LP.
