John Hiatt & The Guilty Dogs —
Hiatt Comes Alive At Budokan?,
A&M Records 1994

The really good stuff witnessed at
Hiatt’s show last year at The
Commodore is found on this live
recording.

It's the first recorded concert affair
for the singer-songwriter and it’s flush
with earthy rock. Hiatt, a 20-year vet-
eran, made an inspired choice’ in
building a touring band from a former
member of School of Fish, guitarist
Michael Ward, and Cracker’s dynam-
ic ex-rhythm section, Davey Faragher
on..bass and drummer Michael
Urbano.

Add Hiatt on guitar and choice

material from a recent string of strong
albums. — Bring' The Family, Slow
Turning and Perfectly Good Guitar —
and stuff happens. The slow burners
like Icy Blue Heart tam on the taps.
. ‘Tennessee Plates rattles along
monstrously and shows off just how
well Ward's and Hiatt's cranked guitar
approaches work together.

Hiatt comes alive? Yes, because
these musicians connect as a band,
something altogether more. than a

pick-up project to back a known ‘|
quantity. Sparks are ’ Popping off ail .§

James ~- Wah, Wah, PolyGram >

1994

This loose and shadowy sister of
the James Laid album released in
1993 is testament more to the rare

genius of Brian Eno than the raw tal- «

ent of James. |

Wah, Wal: is a document of inno-
vative production and creative
process.

At the core of the producer’s
approach lies the permissive power
of improvisation.

James joined the list with Laid, an
elegant and ultimately uplifting wash
of sound, Wah, Walt makes the grade
as a challenging companion piece.
