Hiatt - Perfectly Good Guitars

[sunvalleylaw]

This album sprung to my attention from my iPod this morning. Good Friday song!

A good relaxed rocker to start the weekend with. :spank: :AOK:

Letterman does a good intro here, but the vid/audio is poor quality.

I love this song. I am trying to get my band to play it.

This is a weird video though. The sound is not live, it's from the album but the mix is peculiar.

Yeah, it was the better of the two or so I looked at, but isn't great. The performance on the Letterman clip looks good, but the sound isn't that great.

 

[Robert]

The Letterman clip is much better! The sound is not great, but the performance is. Great music!

I have owned this CD since it was released, but had not listened to it in a long time. Now that I have been playing guitar a year+, I hear the song in a whole new way. Robert, it is mostly your fault I think! :spank: :beer:

BTW, this seems a very nice solo tone in the first few seconds.

Hiatt is fantastic - check out this clip about the making of Perfectly Good Guitar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2olnVYNFN4g

Glad I'm to blame, Steve!

Hiatt is awesome. Perfectly Good Guitar is a staple tune.

It was a few years before it dawned on me...remember that great album BB King and Clapton did? That kick butt tune that opened the album is a John Hiatt song "Riding With The King." I'd been listening to Hiatt do it for years and thought there was something familiar with the Clapton/King tune. duh:thwap:

We have that CD at home. Bought it for my wife as a gift some time back. Probably need to put that one in this weekend too.
