Bring the Family JH's 1987 album that is significant for many reasons. It marks, what some would call, the beginning of his "introspective" songwriting period. It was his first album released for A&M. It contains "Thing Called Love", the song that Bonnie Raitt would cover and garner her a Grammy. (It contains "Memphis in the Meantime" -- the namesake of this mailing list.) It brought together an incredible collection of sidemen (Ry Cooder, Jim Keltner, and Nick Lowe) who would later reunite as the band LV. And, simply put, many people believe it is a jewel among gems -- the best album and songwriting JH has produced.
