Free Music Review: John + Ry = Masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars

I own two John Hiatt CDs, this one from 1987 and his 17-track career retrospective 'Best of John Hiatt', released in 1998. Great as the latter album is, this is the one I'd take with me on a long road trip, to be played over and over. This is really John Hiatt's finest music. But, to be fair, Ry Cooder should get equal billing with John for the superlative quality of this album. These two artists were lucky to find each other, and wise to capitalize on the musical chemistry between them. One senses that John could not reach his highest arc without the propulsion that Ry's electric guitar gives him, and that Ry needs the anchor of a songwriting and singing talent like John to give his amazing artistry a sharp focus and purpose. Many of the most rousing and touching moments on this album are provided by Ry. Take, for example, the rhythmic chopping sounds on 'Thing Called Love' that give it the strong scent of sex, or his long, bending, tearful slides on 'Lipstick Sunset'. I get chills just thinking about it. Another musical contribution of note is the quirky off-tempo thumping of Jim Keltner's bass drum in 'Memphis in the Meantime', giving the song an extra twitch of excitement.

But back to John. In addition to a great collection of songs, he has never sung better or with more believable passion than here, and he reaches his greatest vocal heights on 'Have a Little Faith in Me' (on which he also plays solo piano). And there is his sly humor, as in 'We can choose, you know we ain't no amoebas,' from 'Thing Called Love'. Now, that's an original pick-up line! But unlike other songs in the "let's get it on" tradition, this one is explicitly about married love. And that's John for you. With all the adventuring, road-lust and heartbreak in his songs, he's a sincere family man, who knows it takes a lifetime 'Learning How to Love You', and his values all point in that direction. He is one of the great singer-songwriter-performers of the last 20 years, and this is his peak ' so far.
