Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Never heard a bad John Hiatt Album
John Hiatt is one of the best! This album is just another great from his heart.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - John Hiatt Same Old Man Review
I was truly impressed by the title song, "Same Old Man", but unfortunately I did not care for any of the other songs. I think a little more care should be taken in including the other songs. Amazon's service was excellent and I got my album in good time.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Smoke & Dreams
While this is a happier John Hiatt than the guy who wrote "Washable Ink" on Slug Line/Two Bit Monsters, the golden gems here make this a welcome release. "Love You Again" tastes sweet on a lovely make-up song with a strong midtempo melody and John's voice a tad hoarse, but so sincere, "You met me at the station with a promise & a kiss; You said my love for you will always be true but you must remember this; Respect me & protect me, but don't expect me not to fall; I will do the same for ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 4.5 Stars... a major surprise, and not the "same old man"

"Same Old Man" (11 tracks; 46 min.) was an eye-opener to me, and brought me back to why I loved his earliest albums. The entire flow of the album feels like a man feeling confident in his own skin, growing older, only that this album just oozes confidence from start ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - John Hiatt's best in a long while
Never met a John Hiatt album I didn't like, but this one is cream of the crop.
For me 'Walk On' was Hiatt's last album for the ages. The self-aware and lackluster follow up, 'Little Head', was a bit of a disappointment and it's been a mixed bag since then. Certainly 'Crossing Muddy Waters' was a stand-out in a stellar catalogue.
I was worried when I found out he was working with many of the same lineup as 'Master of Disaster' because that one just never seemed to gel for me. Something ... Read More
