Rezensionen



Audio
Der ewig unterschätzte Rock-Poet aus den USA zeigte 1987 mit dieser CD, daß er ein Großer des Genres ist. Am Schlagzeug saß Jim Keltner, Nick Lowe spielte den Baß. Auch als MFSL-Gold-CD zu haben.

Dieses im Februar 1987 in nur vier Tagen mit Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe und Jim Keltner eingespielte Album gilt heute als Meisterwerk des amerikanischen Sängers und Songschreibers John Hiatt. Wie für viele Gold-CDs aus dem Hause MFSL typisch, wurde hier ein im Vergleich zur Standard-CD (A&M/Polydor 395 158-2) "wärmeres" Klangbild angestrebt und durch leichte Entschärfung der Höhen sowie Modifikation des Hallanteils auf Hiatts Stimme erreicht. Dadurch tönt die Musik weniger dreckig ("Memphis In The Meantime", "Thing Called Love") und verlor etwas an Biß.

Review by Mark Deming
In 1987, John Hiatt, clean and sober and looking for an American record deal, was asked by an A&R 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 straight-ahead R&B-style 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 grown-up rock & roll.
