 Same old John, November 1, 2008
|
|
|
I remember back in the early 80's going through the (Cut-out)section of (albums)at my local music store,if any of you are old enough to remember those.I came upon and purchased the LP Slug Line.It was my first John Hiatt record.I now have some 14 of his albums and each one is better than the other.His musical skills and experimentation continue to awe me and his writting just blows me away.The lines he comes up with are just so real and true,I ecspecially like the one about "a few less brain cells and a lot less hair".
John Hiatt is like a fine wine,he just gets better with age.

Was not a fan of his more recent Master of Disaster CD, so I was a little leery of this one. I should not have worried. Hiatt hits a homerun here. Wonderful album.

 John Hiatt Same Old Man Review, September 20, 2008

I was truly impressed by the title song, "Same Old Man", but unfortunately I did not care for any of the other songs. I think a little more care should be taken in including the other songs. Amazon's service was excellent and I got my album in good time.

While this is a happier John Hiatt than the guy who wrote "Washable Ink" on Slug Line/Two Bit Monsters, the golden gems here make this a welcome release. "Love You Again" tastes sweet on a lovely make-up song with a strong midtempo melody and John's voice a tad hoarse, but so sincere, "You met me at the station with a promise & a kiss; You said my love for you will always be true but you must remember this; Respect me & protect me, but don't expect me not to fall; I will do the same for you until the final call." "Cherry Red" is another sterling track with a catchy tune and the band banging out this joyful noise, "That big blue sky, it sure looks real like you were going to California to make a deal." "Two Hearts" is another classic Hiatt track with an excellent bass line by Patrick O'Hearn backing John's voice that combines whine, sneer & love in one amazingly unlikely vocal concoction, "A train of smoke & dreams keeps a-coming like a burning steer & I know you watch me go even as I'm standing here." These delightful tracks combined with the title track make this essential listening. Enjoy!
