I always thought Perfectly Good Guitar and Stolen Moments to be excellent and stand-up albums.

Also, please don't forget the drummer, Jim Keltner, helped Little Village be what it is.

romeotuma - I'm shocked! We finally disagree on a song.  To me, "Slow Turning" has a thread that connects all the songs. They mostly can stand alone, but it's better if one listens to the whole work from beginning to end - it helps to make songs like this one more easily-accepted (even if it doesn't inspire a person to dance.)
Sorry you're yawning.  Why not head up to the roller-coaster on the roof? That should wake you up again! *hugs you*  {#Dancingbanana}

I've read the recs, but I'd say just wade in and buy anything from Hiatt. He's had people covering his songs for a long time, so you'll find some gold, and maybe some fool's gold, but it'll be worth it. My personal favorite is "Slow Turning," but "Bring the Family" is really good, too.

If you're a serious collector, just dive in and buy. (I'd avoid the "best of" stuff because it's usually edited and shortened.)  Get the originals whenever you can.

The disc "Little Village" is woefully underappreciated. Ry Cooder, John Hiatt and Nick Lowe. Now that's a starting line-up.Probably the coolest cut  is 'The Action'. But, even more fun is 'Ridin with the King' -Hiatt and Sonny Landreth (It's a Cadillac and a diamond ring; dontcha know we're....)

 
Didn't Eric Clapton do a version of "Ridin' with the King" with B.B. King?  There was a lot of fun interplay between the two of them, and B.B. proved beyond a doubt that he could hold his own against other heavy-hitters.

I SO love RP-Land....{#Music}

I think his first great album was "Bring the Family", which I think was the one that immediately preceded this one.  That same lineup put out an album as a band named "Little Village" (with Hiatt still taking most of the leads).

I first bought "Slow Turning", but "Bring the Family" is wonderful, too. And "Perfectly Good Guitar" is fun - I just love "The Wreck of the Barbie Ferrarri."  His humor is deadly. People slam his vocals, but I think they miss the ready-aim-fire lyrics. I saw him in concert at the L.B. Day Amphitheater in Salem, Oregon. He was with Robert Cray and Stevie Ray Vaughn (one of his final performances) and he just rocked. I wonder if he knew that future plane would crash...

God, I'm tired...

I'd start with this album.  The title track (slow turning) is one of his best.
