John Hiatt Demo Tapes 1975-1983
Wow early stuff! I think I came to Hiatt late on, through Nick Lowe and then Ry Cooder and others, his own band with Southern guitar legend Sonny Landreth in his band. I heard Memphis In The Meantime (still a favourite song!) and was struck! I guess this was late eighties early nineties. Then his songs began showing on other's albums by folk like Bonnie Raitt (Nick of Time) and I thought hang on a cotton picking minute! Check out 'Bring The Family’(87) and Stolen Moments (92?) and Little Village too. He has known terrible family tragedy and sobered up early on which I understand completely. Not everything always rang with me but when he collaborated and the guitarists he worked with and the songwriting, the SONGWRITING, I was soon a fan, this looks really interesting roots of his writing no less and in FLAC files too!
Well done drafter . . . . . this is lovely!
