  • John Hiatt

    Great podcast if you love John Hiatt! One of the most treasured songwriters in America. Only saw him live once (w/Lyle Lovett) but hope to again.

    I know a place where you can go all the way to the river that is John Hiatt’s magical musical catalogue. Insightful and provocative (especially when it comes time to rate!) I never miss an episode. Looking forward to taking this trip to sometime other than now. 😎
