The sheer volume of posts in this thread lead me to believe that the only pleasures to be had during the 80s were of the guilty variety.

I was never much of a Jeff Healy fan, but he did cover a couple of John Hiatt songs on his 1988 debut album, and John Hiatt can elevate anyone.
[song: Angel Eyes]

 

[moqui]

[song: Confidence Man]

 

[moqui]

Bonnie Raitt used another Hiatt song to fuel her 1989 comeback album
[song: Thing Called Love]

 

[moqui]

but few covers of Hiatt can match the man himself. I posted a couple cuts from what I believe is the best album of the entire decade - Hiatt's 1987 issue Bring the Family - in the early days of this thread. Here are a few from the 1989 follow up Slow Turning that nearly matched the 87 effort.
[song: Drive South]

[song: Icy Blue Heart]

Feels Like Rain is a beautiful, intense number that has been covered many, many times and found a new audience due to its use in the HBO show Treme
[song: Feels Like Rain]

[song: Stood Up]
