5.0 out of 5 stars HIATT, HIATT, HIATT!!!!!, September 6, 2000

By	K. Paukert "hiattfanfromnc" (Fayettville, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a treat it was to stumble across this more than deserved tribute to the songs of master songwriter John Hiatt. Right from the top, a (zydeco) version of Falling Up by CJ Chenier, the CD just rocks! While Hiatt has had his songs covered by artists ranging from Paula Abdul (yuck!) to Joan Baez, Iggy Pop, Phil Collins (double-yuck) and Bob Dylan, this tribute leans in more of a blues direction and let me tell you what, it works perfectly! Other faves include Irma Thomas on Old Habits.... and Tab Benoit on Feels Like Rain. Can anyone say volume 2??????

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Strong Interpretations of Hiatt Songs, August 31, 2000

By	"musicfaninnewyork" (cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews

What a delight to find this CD. An Interesting list of artists too, some of which I'd not heard of before. My Personal favorite is Kenny Neals "Love Like Blood." This man just keeps getting better. Though maybe Chris Smither's (who?)version of "real Fine Love is the best cut, his brilliant version is so different from the original. And doing a zydeco version of "Fallin Up" was inspired and CJ Chenier just rocks the song. Iread that Hiatt thought Odetta doing was one of his songs was really cool. Overall the choices of songs are very good with a strong emphasis on the Stolen Moments CD, one of Hiatts best albums. If your a Hiatt fan your gonna find these versions very strong, and if your not aware of Hiatt then buy not only this CD to hear some great music, but Hiatts best of CD. Of course you should really own everytthing by this great American songwriter.
