Product description
John Hiatt - Best of - CD
Amazon.com
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 their own right, thanks to his gritty vocal style and stellar accompaniment on some tracks by Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, Jim Keltner, and Sonny Landreth. The only missteps here are a rerecorded version of "Have a Little Faith in Me" (the original is one of Hiatt's most powerful performances) and the inclusion of "Take Off Your Uniform," a distant memory from Hiatt's days as a new waver in the Elvis Costello mold. --Daniel Durchholz
Review
...Where are "Lipstick Sunset" and other Hiatt classics? Suggested title: Some of the Best of John Hiatt. -- Entertainment Weekly
The Best lives up to its billing, gathering 17 gritty roots-rockers and poignant ballads that beautifully capture the fervor and foibles of the heart. -- USA Today
Hiatt can light Fourth of July firecrackers under even the most familiar three-chord vamp. At his best, the Nashville-based songwriter paints an authentic American portrait of Shangri-la. -- People

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
His record company('s) put out 3 or 4 'Greatest Hits' collections all containing different songs but of course some were on all 4. I think this one has the best combination of his stuff.

I am just getting to know his music. I recommend this cd as a way to get to know his music.
Great seller. Highly recommended.
Ich höre schon seit Ewigkeiten John Hiatt, mindestens seit meinem 18ten Lebensjahr.
Erinnere mich an ein faszinierendes Live-Radiokonzert auf einer langen Autofahrt,
mitten in der Nacht. Übertragen von einem amerikanischen Sender.
Ich habe von John Hiatt auch Vinyl-Schallplatten, die ich zuhause am liebsten höre.
Jetzt habe ich auch noch eine CD.
Diese Sammlung ist sozusagen eine ``Sicherungskopie`` mit zusätzlichen Titeln.
Ich freue mich die CD gekauft zu haben!
Danke.
