Have a Little Faith: The John Hiatt Story Michael Elliott 280 pages ISBN: #978-164160420 Chicago Review Press 2021 Reading Have A Little Faith, it becomes clear quite early on how deep and abiding is author Michael Elliott's passion for his subject, In fact, by the time The John Hiatt Story concludes, it's almost as if that devotion to his subject is simultaneously his greatest strength and greatest weakness. Maintaining some measure ...

John Hiatt with The Jerry Douglas Band: Leftover Feelings

Read "Leftover Feelings" reviewed by Doug Collette


Leftover Feelings is not the first such group collaboration in John Hiatt's varied and lengthy career—-the North Mississippi Allstars were integral to Master of Disaster (New West Records, 2005). But there's an even more unusual kinship in play here between this gifted songwriter and The Jerry Douglas Band, if only because this LP is even more deeply steeped in bluegrass style(s) than the comparably acoustic-based Crossing Muddy Waters (Vanguard, 2000). Perhaps due to his early experience working as ...

John Hiatt: The Eclipse Sessions

Read "The Eclipse Sessions" reviewed by Doug Collette


Since John Hiatt hit his artistic and commercial stride with Bring The Family (A&M, 1987), the most listenable and durable albums of his have been those recorded with a band like the one appearing there (eventually known as Little Village: Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe and Jim Keltner). Offering comparably uniform musicianship in proportionate support of this highly-regarded songwriter's most memorable material, the Goners (featuring guitarist extraordinaire Sonny Landreth) appeared on Slow Turning (A&M, 1988) as well as The Tiki Bar ...

John Hiatt and The Combo: Live at The Lebanon Opera House

Read "John Hiatt and The Combo: Live at The Lebanon Opera House" reviewed by Doug Collette


John Hiatt and The Combo Lebanon Opera House Lebanon, New Hampshire March 9, 2010

John Hiatt and The Combo played an absolutely brilliant two-and-a-half hour set at the Lebanon Opera House on March 9th. In contrast to so many de rigeur returns for encores, these performers fully deserved the stomping cheering demand for more, and obliged with another thirty minutes of music. This came only after the bandleader graciously thanked the enthusiastic audience for ...

John Hiatt and the Goners: Beneath this Gruff Exterior

Read "Beneath this Gruff Exterior" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


John Hiatt and Sonny Landreth—nothing, and I mean nothing could be better. John Hiatt has advanced to the forefront of American rock songwriters, a group of musicians that include Warren Zevon, Rodney Crowell, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and John Prine. Sonny Landreth is the stratospheric slide guitarist who knows no near competitor sporting a bottleneck on his/her little finger.

The music—well, this is prime Hiatt. Coming into his own with the release of the perfect Bring the ...

Productive and consistently good are two attributes that don't usually go together in the record making business, but it's been John Hiatt's hallmark for a while, now. Particularly at the start of the new century, from Crossing Muddy Waters (2000) on, Hiatt has made a shiny fresh disc of new tunes every year or so and there's been little to complain about them. Less than a year and a half from another solid product with The Open Road comes Dirty ...
