'Bring the Family' would probably be a close second for favorite album of his.
I haven't kept up with any of his last 6 or 7 studio albums, though, so I need to get up to speed with those.

You'e the first person in a long time to say a Hiatt album other than
Bring The Family is their favorite. Kind of refreshing. I'm an outlier in that I tend to prefer his earlier, more rock-oriented albums like
Slug Line, Two Headed Monsters, and the earlier stuff on Geffen. But some of his later stuff is quite good as well.
The b-side to Brenda Lee's first single was Bigelow 6-200 and was written by Bob Woody (whose song "Morse Code" I posted upthread) and his songwritign partner Paul Simmons. Contrary to what the label says, she was 11, not 9, when the song came out. Regardless, she shows a powerful voice for such a young age, sounding very much like Wanda Jackson:
