Love it!
Hiatt has been around forever making great music and writing fantastic songs and this is a great set to add to the collection. This cd is as good as you'd expect. In fact, I was surpised at how many songs I recognized. . . songs that he has written for other artists. It really is a great compilation of Hiatt's talent.


Comprehensive Hiatt
Most of the second cd is on a later Anthology that has some updated versions of some of the same songs on the second cd in this set. This Anthology contains a very good list of Hiatt's early work up to the mid 90's. This one is worth the money to get even if you have the later one.


Start here - then begin to collect everything Mr. Hiatt's put out.
Last month I saw him in solo performance and the next day I purchased this anthology. Until recently, I was aware only that John Hiatt is a song writer who crafted songs covered by others. This collection is jaw-dropping in scope - from early Nashville days, to much more contemporary writing and performing. This is a great beginning point; in fact, I've already added "The Tiki Bar Is Open" and "Master of Disaster" to my collection. I appreciate wry wit in songwriting, from Richard Thompson to Albert Collins, and John Hiatt ranks right up there. This investment investment pays great dividends.


Great John Hiatt Anthology
One senses the development in terms of craft and subject matter as John Hiatt matures over the years. Wonderful overview of one of the great witers and performers of the last 30 years. By the second cd,(it is in chronological order), he has hit his stride and everything comes together.
An excellent collection.


Terrific! Get this!
If you're just starting to get to know his music, you're in luck, since this 2-CD set is the cream of the crop, 40 delicious slices of warm, wry, sunny, sad Americana. One of the greats, John Hiatt is a writer's writer and singer's singer. I've been into Hiatt for years and bought many of his individual releases, all of which I recommend, but this pulls together his greatest, most essential recordings. For heaven's sake, don't buy a single greatest hits CD when you can get so much more. I promise you will want more than just one CD of John's songs.
