John Hiatt

B000002G2U.01.LZZZZZZZI really love John Hiatt. He is an unsung musical hero. He's written scads of music for other people yet his own recordings are excellent.

He is also firmly rooted in irony. I love it.

On this album, listen to these cuts:

2. Real Fine Love....story behind why I love this song so much but I'm not giving it up right now
3. Memphis in the Meantime.....listen to the words....
10. Thing Called Love...Bonnie R, that famous redhead with the white streak, did it, but he wrote it and his original version is better.
11. Perfectly Good Guitar.....funny
13. Tenessee Plates....just listen
15. Slow Turning.....my life, how about yours?


And old ex-boyfriend/ex-fiance introduced me to John Hiatt. Great lyrics, a great tune..... Long story about love, romance, alcoholism and John Hiatt that is a totally other post.

Listen to him and think about it.

Great car music.

I love it.

What I'm Reading

  • Edward Ugel: Money For Nothing
    Subtitled, One Man's Journey Through The Dark Side Of Lottery Millions. (****)
  • Susan Braudy: This Crazy Thing Called Love
    The true story behind the Billy Woodward shooting, the case on which Dominick Dunne based his novel, The Two Mrs. Grenvilles. (*****)
  • Matt Birbeck: A Beautiful Child
    True story about the mysterious life and death of a young woman who's real identity still remains unclear. Excellent read. (****)
  • Richard Yates: Revolutionary Road
    A novel about the alienation arising from living in the "perfect" suburbs. Hailed as a great literary book. I thought it was okay, at best. (**)
  • Annie Proulx: Close Range, Wyoming Stories
    A collection of lyrical short stories from Annie Proulx that contains Brokeback Mountain among other gems. (****)
  • John Grisham: The Innocent Man
    I can only quote from the jacket blurb: "If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you." A must read. (*****)
  • Nancy Caldwell Sorel: The Women Who Wrote The War
    Fascinating look at women journalists at the front during WWII. (****)
  • Jack Olsen: Charmer
    Riveting true crime by a master. (****)
  • Ann Rule: Too Late To Say Good Bye
    Excellent telling of the Bart Corbin cases. (****)
  • Michael Crichton: Airframe
    Ehhh. Better than the back of a cereal box, I guess. (**)
