High: 29° / Low: 13° — Dude Weather Subscribe to Secrets Minneapolis / St. Paul
Same Old Man indeed. This is between Hiatt's 15th and 25th release — depending on how you count best-ofs, live recordings, and groups like Little Village — and the reliability factor remains high. He's an ersatz curmudgeon, a faux eccentric, a dilapidated Everyman with an undeniably big heart and an equally undeniable knack for songwriting. He can jangle a slant-back country blues song or ambush you emotionally by confessing for redemption.
