The prince of the pen, John Hiatt’s songwriting abilities often overshadow his singing/playing talents; his songs have been successfully covered by a range of artists like Ronnie Milsap, Iggy Pop, the Neville Brothers and Bonnie Raitt. 1974 marked the start of Hiatt’s solo career, and the next decade showed his range of musical experimentation with a mixture of rock and roll styles and new wave pop. He finally settled on a rootsy fusion of rock, country, blues and folk with his successful 1987 album Bring the Family. Hiatt’s song highlights include “Have a Little Faith in Me,” “Thing Called Love,” and “Slow Turning.”
