Released during the bitter cold month of January in 1985, the icy digital presentation of John Hiatt's last album before sobriety revealed an artist hitting rock bottom in real time.
I became a Hiatt fan with “Bring the Family” and “Slow Turning”. I have heard most of what he has done since and ignorant to anything before. “The Usual” is great. Thanks for sharing the chapter. Looking forward to reading the book!
Sobriety perhaps collided with karma but whatever took place from that point on Hiatt's music/songwriting to me was as good as it gets for several albums and decades and once again, thank you, this time for taking us through those dark moments.
