@slaw, Patty’s really tight with Julie and Buddy Miller, and has joined them onstage, though not recently (Julie hadn’t done a live show for over ten years until she and Buddy very recently did one in Nashville to announce the release of their new album).
I myself just got the Hiatt Eclipse double-LP set (I already had the CD), can’t wait to hear it. One of our greatest living artists! Have you seen the clip of the assemble artists at the first Americana Music Association Awards Show after the death of Levon Helm, performing "The Weight" as a tribute to him? Watch Hiatt’s face as the young black girl sings a verse---it’s priceless! Also onstage are Jim Lauderdale (the ceremony’s host), Levon’s daughter Amy, Emmylou Harris, Buddy Miller, Richard Thompson, Bonnie Raitt, Larry Campbell, Don Was (on electric bass), Sam Bush, and Booker T. Jones. It’s magnificent!
