Discovery
I heard "Have a Little Faith in me" and was stunned and ordered his "Best of" and it's fantastic ! Now I had to find out that he wrote "Thing Called Love" and "Angel Eyes" and he sings them better than the well-known versions and his music is just great. Coming from Scotland , I'd never heard of John Hiatt before and discovered him by accident .
This guy rocks !.

John Hiatt
music. Super adult, contemp.
Heard a song during the movie, "RAISING HELEN". . . researched it, found
it (THIS JOHN HIATT ALBUM). . . didn't stop playing it for 3 days!!!!
Loved every track on it. What a gem.
Would highly recommend it, just for pure vocals and soothing
dynamic. LOVED IT!.


Good Sampling But Not a Best Of


I have both albums that these songs are on "Walk On" and "Slow Turning" yet they don't appear on any of his "greatest hits" albums. Yes I know he's written a lot of tunes, but you can't have a "Best of" album without Ethylene, Georgia Rae, and possibly his best song Dust Down a Country Road. If you are getting into John Hiatt for the first time, you must seek out those songs along with "Shredding the Documents".

The album quality of sound is definitely very good though, and despite the absence of those previously mentioned four songs, this album IS a pretty good catch for someone just getting interested in John Hiatt.

- I'm sitting on the toilette with my sunglasses on, wondering what you are up to. . .

Still 5 stars despite not including .........
Yes, it is always hard to do a Best Of. Excellent compilation, great sound, great artist! I agree with all that has been written already but am I the only fan who can't understand why 'She Loves The Jerk' has not been included? It was the 1st song I looked for when I bought the cd. So much good stuff. But this song is a classic Hiatt cut. I love it. But . . . . . . . . the material is so strong that to give it less than 5 stars would be an injustice. When will the world take note of John Hiatt?.
