It had a direct, stripped-down, rootsy sound that differed greatly from his earlier albums. Though it didn't set the charts on fire, it became his first album to reach the charts, and several of its songs became hits for other artists, including Bonnie Raitt's 'Thing Called Love'. It had a direct, stripped-down, rootsy Following the album's success, Hiatt became a reliable hit songwriter for other artists, and he developed a strong cult following.

In 1991, the group that recorded 'Bring the Family' - Hiatt, Cooder, Lowe and Keltner - re-formed as a band called Little Village, releasing their eponymous debut in early 1992. Expectations for Little Village were quite high, yet the record and its supporting tour were considered a major disappointment. Later, the individual members would agree that the band was a failure, mainly due to conflicting egos.

John Hiatt decided to back away from the superstar nature of Little Village for his next albums: 1993's 'Perfectly Good Guitar', his first live album, 'Hiatt Comes Alive at Budokan', in 1994, 'Walk On', 1197's 'Little Head', 2000's 'Crossing Muddy Waters' on Vanguard Records. 'The Tiki Bar is Open', his second album on Vanguard, 'Beneath This Gruff Exterior' (2003) and 'Master of Disaster' (2005). John Hiatt's 18th studio album, 'Same Old Man', appeared in 2008. 'The Open Road' arrived early in 2010, followed in 2011 by Hiatt's 20th studio album (!), 'Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns', which was recorded in Nashville and produced by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, the Black Crowes).
