New record....same as the old record? Hiatt admits to "regularly cannibalising his back catalogue" so you could be forgiven for thinking you've heard some of this before. As always though, he has something to say and he says it well. In amongst road and love songs, homage is paid to the people once living on his land who were slaughtered during the Civil War and there's a nod to Fireball Roberts, the Indycar racer who was probably the artists favourite. As usual, Hiatt hires an expert guitarist to make his rock songs really rock and his blues numbers bluesier. In the past he's employed Immergluck, Cooder, Landreth etc. This time it's Doug Lancio who adds the magic. Now 57, Hiatt's voice is past its best and though he struggles at the higher end of his range, he's still brave enough to add a little falsetto now and again.
