We had a few days of rain last week and this song fit the mood so well. I like both versions. I believe that John Hiatt wrote this song. John Hiatt "It Feels Like Rain" (studio version) Buddy Guy with Bonnie Raitt "It Feels Like Rain"

John Hiatt and The Goners : Almost Fed Up With the Blues [ purchase ] Is it fair, this week, to post a song by a long-time solo artist who made exactly one album billed as the work of an And Band? In the case of John Hiatt and the Goners, I would say yes. In addition to Hiatt, the Goners included Sonny Landreth, Kenneth Blevins, and Dave Ranson. Although Beneath This Gruff Exterior is the only album credited to the Goners, they had been Hiatt's touring band for many years. [...]

Indigo Girls FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28th John Hiatt + Indigo Girls, The Little Willies at World Cafe Live (6 p.m., $95–$190) SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29th It has been four years since Feist won our hearts with her Apple-approved, quirky tunes on her breakthrough album, The Reminder. Though her recently released follow up, Metals, still features the Canadian singer's watery vocals and emphasis on guitar strumming, her latest album offers a more serious tone than the poppy cheer of songs like "1 2 3 4" and "I [...]

Truly great country musicians never really die out. Give them a guitar, and a sad American tale, and they'll serve you all the beautiful melancholy that modern, bubble-gum country stars seem to have forgotten. John Hiatt is considered by anyone who really knows country music to be one of the genre's most prolific and influential songwriters and musicians. His words have inspired artists like Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson to perform covers. So with his twentieth installment, "Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns," Hiatt isn't looking for a clean slate, a loud encore, or any sort of [...]
Iconic songwriter John Hiatt talks cars, blues, love , 9/11 and his excellent new album Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns . John Hiatt has loved racecars almost as long as he's loved the guitar. The songwriter first picked up a guitar at the age of 11 and has had his songs covered by artists as diverse as Three Dog Night, Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Iggy Pop, and Bonnie Raitt. Still, he grew up in Indianapolis in the 1960s with the roar of the track in his ears and his head. "The Indy 500 was such a...

John Hiatt released yet another studio album at the beginning of this month entitled Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns on New West Records. The several Grammy awards nominated artist has been creating his own brand of Americana folk bluegrass tinged new wave since the 1970s. Although he has had many a critical success, Hiatt has only broken through to the Top 40 charts a few times. However, the songs he has written have received the royal treatment, being covered by true greats such as Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton. Dirty Jeans [...]

John Hiatt - Down Around My Place
John Hiatt 's new record, Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns , once again pairs the veteran Hoosier songwriter with his touring combo (drummer Kenny Blevins, guitarist Doug Lancio, and bassist Patrick O'Hearn) for another sweeping sampler of Americana. The album's black-and-white cover captures Hiatt waiting in front of a small-town, one-room church that's been boarded up. Boarded up for preservation or to keep others out, you might wonder. After listening to Dirty Jeans , you'll probably suspect that these two reasons are one and the same. Much of the record delves into ideas of "home," the [...]

Multiple Grammy nominee - it would be a sin if he doesn't win one after this accomplishment - John Hiatt has been distinguishing himself as a musician and songwriter since the early 1970s. In his music he is by turns earthy, bitter, angry and cheerful. Artists as diverse as Linda Ronstadt, Iggy Pop and Buddy Guy have covered his material. Coming across with an ease born of many years of experience, Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns (New West Records) is a rousing bracing listening experience with its boots firmly planted in rawboned hard-living blues. The impression I get from him here [...]

Los Angeles Times (MCT) -- LOS ANGELES - For a long time in rock 'n' roll, musicians who allowed their music to be used in advertising risked sullying their artistic credibility. Nobody, however, ever said anything against getting musical inspiration from a TV commercial, which is how veteran singer-songwriter John Hiatt came up with one of the songs on his 20th studio album, "Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns," released Tuesday. "I'm as influenced by popular culture as the next guy,"...
There are no surprises on this latest album, his twentieth, other than the fact that Hiatt's still able to deliver the goods. Considering how much has happened since his first album back in 1974, this is nothing short of amazing. John Hiatt's music has become as comfortable as an old pair of jeans, and like those work pants, he's still right for the job. Hiatt just writes up a bunch of guitar-driven rock songs with a country blues edge, and sings and picks his way through while making observations on the state of life in America today. There are [...]
