John Hiatt - Sooner Or Later (Live San Francisco 94) (2024)

John Hiatt One of the best and most respected songwriters of his generation, John Hiatt was a hero among critics and his fellow musicians long before a larger audience discovered his work as a recording artist. Known for lyrics that can turn from acidic wit to bitter self-examination at a moment's notice, Hiatt's work is also dominated by strong, engaging melodies that take rock and blues tropes and reshape them into fresh sounds and the sharp but thoughtful report of his voice. Hiatt's songs have been covered by everyone from Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, and Dr. Feelgood to Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and the Neville Brothers, and the eclecticism of that list is reflected in Hiatt's own catalog of recordings, which find him exploring folk, rock, pop, R&B, country, and blues influences with equal vigor. Hiatt's finest album is 1987's rootsy and unguarded Bring the Family; other catalog highlights include the pop and rock of 1983's Riding with the King, the rough-hewn blues-rock of 2008's Same Old Man, and 2021's Leftover Feelings, a collaboration with dobro virtuoso Jerry Douglas..
