Summary: Same Old Man
Comment: John Hiatt's "Same Old Man" CD arrived in short order and is truly delightful. I have been a fan of his for many years and this ranks among his best work.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Same old Man - Same old consistently great John Hiatt
Comment: Hey I love John Hiatt and this stuff does not disappoint. Some great hits...took a little while to get used to compared to his latest albums but if your a John Hiatt fan (or if your not) you'll love it. The dvd was good but would rather have seen more recent stuff.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This CD is outstanding
Comment: If you enjoy John's music, I am confident that you will enjoy his newest release. To me, his voice just keeps getting better. His music has progressed and this CD may be one of my favorites out of all of his. I will purchase anything that John is a part of and I must say that the samples that you can hear on-line prior to purchasing the CD do not do it justice. I planned on purchasing it no matter what & the entire song was so much better than 30 seconds of a sample. I think that John's fans will enjoy his latest creation. I have not had a chance to watch the DVD but I have seen videos of his performances and look forward to watching it someday.

Summary: DVD extras
Comment: I just wanted to clarify whats on the DVD.Six songs, two from each time John has performed on Austen City Limits. Which means if You own The Austen City Limits DVD your only getting 4 new songs. Maybe this signals more releases of John Hiatt from this excellent DVD series

Summary: Same Old Man , Different Day
Comment: John Hiatt's new album "Same Old man" is stripped down and raw and basic. The album opens with "Old Days" which just about made me fall off my chair laughing at the wit and humor which Hiatt is able to use telling his story of being the opening act for some of the blues greats in his early years . This album is similiar to other Hiatt albums in one way only ; it is different than every previous John Hiatt album . The songs are well written (as you might expect for Hiatt) and the album has sort of an "un-rehearsed" feel to it that makes it's own atmosphere , and I personally like this very much! I'm looking forward to seeing Hiatt on tour and playing these songs live !
I have read some reviews of this album which it was brought up that Hiatt's voice is "blown out" ... All that I have to say to this comment is that someone must have mistaken John Hiatt for Wayne Newton at some point in their life ! John Hiatts voice sounds like a dump truck load of rocks being unloaded (and always has ) , but I love it! FIVE STARS !!!!!
