Bring the Family
: :Even John Hiatt's most ardent fans weren't ready for this masterpiece to be dropped in their laps in 1987. Hiatt had spent most of the 70's and 80's playing pick-a-style, bouncing from southern country rock to Elvis Costello redux and back again. With Family, though, he pared away every bit of excess and delivered his best set of songs with the understated, impossibly tasteful backing of Nick Lowe on bass, Ry Cooder on guitar and Jim Keltner on drums. Hiatt's sober, uncompromising examination of his previously ...

The Best of John Hiatt
: :John Hiatt has had such extraordinary success as a songwriter that, even if you haven't followed his career as a performer, you'll find you know most of these songs by virtue of their hit cover versions. Bonnie Raitt ('A Thing Called Love'), Suzy Bogguss ('Drive South'), Rosanne Cash ('The Way We Mend a Broken Heart'), Jeff Healey ('Angel Eyes'), and Aaron Neville ('Feels Like Rain') have all dipped into the Hiatt songbook with spectacular results. Hiatt's originals (plus a couple of new tracks) are terrific in ...

Slow Turning
: :John Hiatt was feeling strong after the success of 1987's masterstroke Bring the Family, so he rocked out a little more on the joyful, confident Slow Turning. His Louisiana quartet, the Goners, spearheaded by slide guitar innovator Sonny Landreth, made each hot tune ('Drive South,' 'Tennessee Plates') crack like a whip. Hiatt's rubbery soul singing, in turn, made each ballad ('Icy Blue Heart,' 'Is Anybody There?') tug at every available heartstring. The album became a bit of a hit factory for others, too--with Emmylou Harris, Suzy ...

Anthology
: :To paraphrase a musical icon, John Hiatt has been a poet, a pauper, and a pawn. He also wrote 'Riding with the King.' What he hasn't been is a household name. That's a shame, because Hiatt has forged one of the most consistently satisfying canons of any contemporary American singer-songwriter. This double-disc, 40-song anthology charts Hiatt's sometimes stormy, always compelling course across more than a half-dozen record labels and nearly as many styles. Beginning with his early days as a Nashville hired gun (including 'Sure As ...

John Hiatt - Greatest Hits: The A&M Years '87-'94
: :Unlike Capitol's 1998 release, The Best of John Hiatt, which contained several inferior re-recordings of older tunes, this Hiatt best-of contains the original versions of most of his best-known tunes. The 18-track collection contains healthy dollops of 1987's Bring the Family (with Nick Lowe, Ry Cooder, and Jim Keltner) and 1988's Slow Turning, including 'Memphis in the Meantime,' 'Thing Called Love,' 'Drive South,' and 'Tennessee Plates.' It's filled out with material from the more recent Stolen Moments ('Real Fine Love') and Perfectly Good Guitar (the title ...
