Billy Gibbons says hi.

We haven't got to Z yet but glad you had a listen if you weren't aware of them before

They definitely weren't on my radar but they are now. Thank you.

3 of my all-time top 20:-

John Hiatt
Bruce Hornsby
The Hooters

The Hooters played at the Philadephia leg of Live Aid, as they were local favourites, but I saw them at Manchester Uni in 1988 playing to a crowd of 200 or so. Absolutely brilliant show.

Glad you mentioned Hiatt, my cd list was missing his anthology.

I've never listened to The Hooters.

Edit. Just realised The Hooters released a track I used to rally like: Satellite and I even knew which year that was released: pretty sure it was all over the radio when I was in Nashville although possibly prior to its release as a single. In fact, I have just found a various artists compilation that I have with that track on. So I need to get the cd loaded to my iTunes.

I will have to revisit Satellite -I’m sure I liked that too.
Edit Yep I remember it now

You need to listen to their 1987 One Way Home (from which Satellite was taken). You probably heard tracks from it in Nashville along with The Lonesome Jubilee, and the two albums have some similarity in terms of the instruments so you'll probably love it.

I always associate it with Scarecrow because I bought both CDs for Christmas in 1987.

I saw John Hiatt at the Bridgewater Hall in 2007. A solo performance, just him and his guitar but it was very entertaining.

Saw Hooters twice in Germany, very entertaining band.

You can get three albums including that one on one release so I've ordered that. A quick listen to MP3 snippets of tracks was enough to know I will enjoy.

Just saw that on Amazon - Nervous Night is excellent too. Zig Zag has some very good songs but is weaker overall. Still for that price there's a lot of quality music.

I saw an article a few years ago that tried to explain why The Hooters are massive in Germany and the Scandanavian countries (massive compared to elsewhere that is). Can't remember the details but it's something to do with the chord progressions. The Rainmakers, another of my 80s favourites, are similarly well liked in those countries.
