John Hiatt

Over the decades, and in various quests to land his audience, the presentation of Hiatt's resilient songs changed to fit the times. Begining in the mid-'70s, he went from singer-songwriter to Elvis Costello-ish rocker to progressive-country/adult alternative icon. However, they all bear the craft of a superlative writer who finds his voice with both tender ballads and hotwired rockers.
