@bigtallcubsfan...

it's from JH's '87 album Bring the Family and, as it's HIS song, the title's 'Thing Called Love. BTW - an awesome album. :)

I have been a John Hiatt fan for at least a few decades, great song writer and singer. He really sings how I feel. Add Lyle to it with his incredible voice, and they are magic together. Saw them live, and they are the super power team! One of the best shows I have seen!

The title of the song spells "thing" wrong. It's pronounced correctly throughout, but the word is spelled "thAng"

This is some great music right here! John & Lyle, good job.

These guys are the real deal. Love em. And If Lyle isn't singing about Texas ever notice how the word Ohio sneaks into his lyrics alot? Going to see him & his LARGE BAND soon in Columbus.

So funky. Lyle's verse is great.

And, as of this post, they're touring ... just saw 'em in Greeley, Colorado (October 9th) ... just cool ... acoustic performance ... they're trading songs and talkin' back and forth.

They're in California now and heading up to Oregon and Tacoma, Washington (October 18th) ... check out John's website for a schedule ... it's worth it!

Hiatt is AWESOME! Saw him a few years ago with the North Mississippi All-Stars...perfect blend of his song-writing with a jam band!

One of the most underrated songsters of our time...

A couple Indiana boys there in Dave and Hiatt I just realized.

Thought you'd like this.

I'm heading to Rocky Mountain State Park with my mom, a sister and my mom's and my little part-Yorkie, part-Daschund. Should be great. Haven't yet seen the mountains close-up.

Have a great, relaxing Sunday!

If this dedication to music and artistry, whether you make the charts or not, doesn't make you want more real music - you should just turn the bubblegum radio on!

I love how Lyle turns to the band at the end and thanks them. They're both such total pros - part of the reason they're still going (that and great songs of course).

I'd love to hear DelbertMcClinton sing this song.

I love this version, don't get me wrong, but I think... it would be very suited to Delbert McClinton.

[angryjohnny1]

always liked hiatt's version of this better than bonnie raitt's + he wrote the song

[8002reverse]

Just seen this in Australia - shown 30 March - Excellent.

[suhweetcaroline]

AHHH i adore both of them.

[RagazzaBlusera]

Me too!
