More great memories of seeing this guy back in the day,
he used to play in the backroom at McCabes a lot
doing acoustic shows w just guitar and piano.
Sure wish I'd taped one of those! Anyways, before
getting sober and settling down with a family
and all that jazz, there was this John Hiatt.
Angrier, edgier and more passionate, this
album contains some of his very best songs.
Unfortunately the album suffers a bit at the
same time with it's Linn drums programming
and 84-ish production....The Horror!!
JOHN HIATT Riding With The King (1983) & Warming Up To The Ice Age (1985) |
Riding With The King (1983) Hiatt's On-The-Brink Years, Pt. 1 A lesser man would probably have just given up. By the mid-80s, John Hiatt had already suffered over a decade of audience indifference - releasing 7 albums on 3 labels, without so much as a blip on the charts.
The Horror!!
