"bring the family" was his critical/commercial breakthru and is very good, but my favorite was always "two bit monsters," which i believe to be one of the best-written singer-songwriter records of the 80s. much closer to new wave/pub-rock than to the earthier, folkier stuff he evolved into, tho "pink bedroom" was a country hit for somebody.
"Cracked Rear View"
This is a lyric from John Hiatt's "Bring The Family" lp, circa 1987. A song off of this lp entitled "Learning How To Love You", has this very phrase in it. So, inevitably, I saw the comparison to the Hootie and the Blowfish lp, "Cracked Rear View".
