I just looked him up in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. My search produced no results! He has to be in there. Such an incredible catalog of songs. Got to meet and talk with him once outside his tour bus (Sonny Landreth too). What nice guys, real down to earth.

I so agree with tgear77. It is a shame that people don't know who john hiatt is.
Yet they have heard his songs, sung by others.
A friend of mine turned me onto John and i have every album he has produced.
My idol.

I went to see him in the 80's at Graffiti in Pittsburgh. He walked right by me when I was in line to get tickets with his son and nobody knew who he was! How does that happen?

I like John Hiatt but the Cate Brothers do this song better

The CATE BROTHERS do this song much better....

Love it!

I was hooked on John when I seen him open up for Robert Cray at the Paramont in Springfield MA in the mid to late 80's (don't knowwhenforsure) but I never forgot him and the fun he and the Goners had on stage. Love him

Always played this when I was VJ'in in LA - I dig Mr John Hiatt - and in the music scene he is very well respected , especially for his writing - Glad he never went too commercial - He remains pure in a world full of less talented celebrity
This is the song that hooked me on John 20 yrs. ago. Heard it once and hunted down "Slow Turning" at a record store. Liked it so much I went back two days later and bought "Y'all Caught?". This man should be world famous. It kills me that people know who Billy Ray Cyrus or Taylor Hicks are but ask "Who?" when you mention John Hiatt.

I also saw him perform a few years ago with the North Mississippi Allstars, in Ft. Lauderdale, in a small intimate club. On one hand I couldn't believe my luck. On the other hand I couldn't believe that a person so highly talented wasn't recognized and appreciated more. The same goes for John Prine. What a special night that was.
