Amazon.com For much of this album, his 16th in 26 years, Hiatt reunites with his best band, the Goners, and takes a giant leap back to his still-hungry days as a jag-edged, Costello-esque rocker while hewing to the soulful, blues-based songwriting he perfected on 1987's Bring the Family. The withering pub rock of 1979's Slug Line--as well as a nod to fallen hero Dale Earnhardt--seeps into the title track, while the roaring guitar, courtesy of the brilliant Sonny Landreth, and tight rhymes of "All the Lilacs in Ohio" suggest the streetwise edge of 1983's Riding with the King. But it's with ballads such as "Something Broken" and "Come Home to You" that Hiatt's musicianship, songwriting, and deeply soulful vocals truly convince and offer the most moving moments on this, his most memorable album in many years. --Roy Kasten Similar CDs

CD ReviewsTypically wonderful Hiatt Ben Hollinger | Lancaster, Pa. | 08/10/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Most of John's discs jump right out at me as fantastic pieces of work. There have been 2 exceptions- "Little Head" and "The Tiki Bar is Open". My first go round with these two, I thought that maybe John was missing that spark. Nope! I was. The more you listen, the more you appreciate. In my opinion, pretty much everything from 1983's "Riding with the King" til now is phenomenal. Unlike Dylan who ebbs and flows, Hiatt is consistently inspired and inspiring."
