Little Village was an American/British rock band, formed in 1992 by Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, Nick Lowe and Jim Keltner. This group of musicians had previously worked together as a unit - albeit not under the Little Village name - recording the John Hiatt solo album, Bring The Family in 1987. Upon reconvening in 1992, the group's name was initially (and jokingly) announced as Hiatus.

  • Little Village was an American/British rock band, formed in 1992 by Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, Nick Lowe and Jim Keltner. This group of musicians had previously worked together as a unit - albeit not under the Little Village name - recording the John Hiatt solo album, Bring The Family in 1987. Upon reconvening in 1992, the group's name was initially (and jokingly) announced as Hiatus. It was soon changed to Little Village, in reference to the foul-mouthed in-studio diatribe by Sonny Boy Williamson II, on a Chess reissue album titled Bummer Road. Little Village recorded their first and last album in mid 1992. The self-titled record featured a set of songs composed by all four group members. The songs were largely sung by Hiatt, although Lowe took lead on two songs and Cooder one. Little Village met with lukewarm reviews and general commercial indifference. Nevertheless, the album was nominated in 1993 for a Grammy Award as Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or a Group. The album peaked at #23 in the UK Albums Chart. The release of the album was followed by a number of concerts in the U.S. and Europe. Nevertheless, the group disbanded in late 1992.
  • I Little Village sono stati un supergruppo musicale formatosi nel 1992 e composto da Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, Nick Lowe e Jim Keltner. Già nel 1987 suonarono assieme, in occasione della registrazione dell'album di John Hiatt Bring The Family. Hanno pubblicato solo l'omonimo disco. I brani sono scritti dai quattro componenti del gruppo e cantati principalmente da Hiatt. Fecero un tour statunitense ed europeo, poi si sciolsero nello stesso anno. L'album passò quasi inosservato dal pubblico, anche se ottenne nel 1993 la nomination per il Grammy Award come Miglior Disco Gruppo Rock Vocale.
  • Little Village war eine amerikanische Rockband. Sie wurde 1992 von Ry Cooder (Gitarren), John Hiatt (Gesang, Gitarre, Klavier), Nick Lowe (Bass) und Jim Keltner (Schlagzeug) gegründet. Sie nahmen mit dem Produzenten Lenny Waronker bei Reprise Records das Album Little Village auf und tourten in den USA und Europa. Ein Konzert dieser Tournee vom April 1992 in Chicago wurde als Doppel-CD von der (auf Livemitschnitte spezialisierten) Plattenfirma The Swingin' Pig Records unter dem Titel Stage Job veröffentlicht. Die "Supergroup" hielt, wie häufig bei solchen Projekten, nicht lange und löste sich im gleichen Jahr wieder auf. Mit dem Namen der Band erwiesen die Musiker Sonny Boy Williamson II ihre Reverenz. Sein Stück gleichen Namens war 1969 veröffentlicht worden.
