Summary: Weathered, yet, comfy...
Comment: John Hiatt's voice is not for everyone. Hoarse, strained, weathered...his voice is a reflection of his life which, for me, is summed up in what is one of my favorite CD's of 2008.

After 2005's "Master of Disaster" which didn't add much to my all-time favorite John Hiatt list, I was skeptical about this new release. One song in, that all went away. The stroyteller in Hiatt returns beginning with the hilarious "Old Days" and carries on through 'til the final "Let's Give This Love A Try".

Hiatt's production is simple and clean. The drums in particular are very "in the room". My favorite track here is "Hurt My Baby" which for me is one of those songs where you sit back in your chair while listening to an artist you know well and say "Oh, there you are.."

The voice is weathered and strained but the songs are yet another example of why John Hiatt is one of the greatest American songwriters of our time.

Summary: I need ear plugs
Comment: I heard "Love You Again" at my local grocery store and I honestly thought Kermit the Frog had a stroke and they recorded him singing a love song. I either need ear plugs or I'm shopping somewhere else if my store plays this guys music again.

Summary: Same old John
Comment: I remember back in the early 80's going through the (Cut-out)section of (albums)at my local music store,if any of you are old enough to remember those.I came upon and purchased the LP Slug Line.It was my first John Hiatt record.I now have some 14 of his albums and each one is better than the other.His musical skills and experimentation continue to awe me and his writting just blows me away.The lines he comes up with are just so real and true,I ecspecially like the one about "a few less brain cells and a lot less hair".
John Hiatt is like a fine wine,he just gets better with age.

Summary: Homerun
Comment: Was not a fan of his more recent Master of Disaster CD, so I was a little leery of this one. I should not have worried. Hiatt hits a homerun here. Wonderful album.
