John Hiatt Til I Get My Lovin' Back

The prolific singer, songwriter and guitarist John Hiatt has released his 20th album entitled Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns.
In the midst of a North American tour, I do not see any shows yet booked for Montreal. He was in Rochester, NY in September, and Toronto in October. But nothing closer. Perhaps Billy Bob Productions will bring the great Hiatt back to Montreal.
Something surprising on his very own website. I clicked play on the video on the main page and the following message appears "This video contains content from WMG, who has blocked it from display on this website." And look like the same thing is happening here...
From John Hiatt's terrifc album Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns, here is Til I Get My Lovin' Back.

The Open Road with John Hiatt

Over the last couple weeks I wanted to post a video from John Hiatt's latest release Open Road. The more I looked the more videos of his I watched. Hiatt is one of the greatest lyricists alive. He has been covered by tons of artists from Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, BB King, Jeff Healy, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and on it goes. He has been nomiated for eleven Grammies.

Hiatt plays a southern rock influenced by folk, country and the Blues.

Here he is performing Open Road on the Late Show with David Letterman.

During my drive back and forth to work last week I ended up listening to his 2003 release Beneath this Gruff Exterior. One song in particular stood out , Almost Fed Up with the Blues. Alas, while there is concert footage of Hiatt performing the song, I could not find a video for it.

I have most of his CDs, so, I went through his catalogue and remembered the first song of his that I ever did hear. The song that launched my interest in his music.  Hiatt has a gift for the turn of phrase. For example, "I always thought my house was haunted cuz nobody said boo to me." Watch here the title track from his 1988 release Slow Turning.
