Customer Reviews
John Hiatt
Great podcast if you love John Hiatt! One of the most treasured songwriters in America. Only saw him live once (w/Lyle Lovett) but hope to again.
Stolen Moments Of Perfectly Good Podcast!
Jesse and Sylvan are on a Slow Turning Journey, that brings us all just a little faith! And they are creating a complete John Hiatt family, from new and old friends, fans, and all of us other people! I love listening to this podcast, and if you wanna experience an artist, from A to Z is the best way! Let's Go Hiatt Heads!!!!!
Truly A Perfectly Good Podcast
5 out of 5. The only podcast that discusses, analyzes, and rates every song by America’s most underrated songwriter, the great John Hiatt. Highly recommended! Jesse and Sylvan have a great time reliving the Hiatt catalog, and their enthusiasm for the man and his music is infectious. I sometimes agree and sometimes disagree with their interpretations and evaluations of the individual songs, but the podcast is always entertaining and thought-provoking.
