Hiatt Live
Hiatt is a great song writer and his live versions of his songs are
the perfect mix of staying true to the song but giving you just
enough difference to put a new spin on an old tune.


One of my favorites of the last decade
For me, this is John Hiatt at the peak of his songwriting skills, and those skills are first rate. I've been listening to this album for 10 years now and I never get tired of it. Not all of the songs are deep, but they all have melodies and phrases that stick. The sound here has that emotional feel you only get from live performances. Sure there's a bad guitar note here and there, but I don't mind one bit. The mix is fabulous, raw and better than some of the mixes on the studio CDs. As a performing musician, I've learned a lot about playing live from this album. My favorite John Hiatt album and that's saying a lot.


Bring Back Michael Ward on Lead Guitar....PLEASE
How many times do you ask yourself. . "why did they change a perfect lineup?".

Michael Ward was the PERFECT lead guitar compliment to John Hiatt's tasty rhythm playing. Hiatt classics like; "Real Fine Love", "Drive South", "Paper Thin", and "Slow Turning" have never sounded better before or since. Perfectly Good Guitar with the exception of Crossing Muddy Waters was his last great album.

Sunny Landreth's. . . slide every song to death lead approach. . . sounds extremely tired in comparison to Ward's, massive, raw, viceral, unique lead playing. I assume it was Ward who chose to move on for a spot with the; big selling, big stage, hugely boring Jacob Dylan band. Either way Ward belongs back with Hiatt . . . please! Seeing Ward play with Hiatt in Chicago at Taste of Chicago in 93'after Sunny Landreth's boring opening show was telling.

Oh Yea. . . Live at Budakon. . . an awesome live album packed with some of the best songs ever written. If you count Neil Young as one of your favorite rock guitarist you'll love Michael Wards guitar on this album. 6 Stars IMO.


The Best Of John Hiatt Live! Great band as well!
John strays a bit here from traditional down home country driven songs and adds loud electric guitar and extremely emotional vocals. John is at his best in this CD recorded at concerts around the United States (not Tokyo). The result. . . a perfect CD for the guitar lover and for someone who wants to know how to write songs. John is best known for writing songs with which other artists have major hits. His backup band here, "The Guilty Dogs," has a lot of volume and sounds very good! The best selection of John's songs on any CD he has out. You will not be dissapointed with this CD. I have only a handful of CDs which I feel are worthy of this 5 star rating.


Tremendous
It has a nice mix of rockers like Memphis in the Meantime and Slow Turning as well as more soulful tunes like Have a Little Faith in Me. This is a great album, both for longtime Hiatt fans and those looking to get an introduction to his music. I bought this albumn many years ago and still pull it out regularly -- both at home and for driving. Just a great disk.
