  1. His richest and most consistently satisfying release since the late '80s.
  2. Hiatt delivers a batch of songs that powerfully evoke certain places, certain times, certain characters, with an eye for detail and an understanding of the complexities of human behavior seldom seen in songwriters these days.

    It grows on you, track by track. I am never disapointed in his work, wish there were more like him; but maybe then i wouldn't like him as much! It is nice to have someone so talented but still relatively unknown. Expand
