    A deftly underplayed album. [Sep 2011, p.87]

    Hiatt's music is so damn infectious that you want to take a sip out of the flask with him.

    Every album contains a few moments of mastery, and Dirty Jeans is no exception.

    While this collection isn't uniformly awe-inspiring, Hiatt has outdone himself on a couple of these tunes.

    Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns shows that John Hiatt is well served by a more hands-on production, though one might also imagine Kevin Shirley isn't necessarily the best person to do the job.

    Singer-songwriter John Hiatt's 20th album shows him still cranking out quality roots music for grown-ups.

    John Hiatt has now released over one third of his career recordings since the year 2000, and seems likely to continue to make good music for some time to come.
