Master Of Disaster

Number this record 21 in the long line of reliable and satisfying releases from John Hiatt. A three-decade long career has seen him work alongside a wide variety of musicians. And for the Jim Dickenson produced Master Of Disaster, Hiatt enlists none other than Dickensons own kin, Cody and Luther of the North Mississippi Allstars. Muscle Shoals session bassist David Hood and key man East Memphis Slim round out the rhythm section that tastefully flesh out this rootsy collection of songs which sport hints of Southern blues and Memphis soul.


Beneath This Gruff Exterior
Beneath This Gruff Exterior contains all the Hiatt trademarks that have earned him such respect - the finely rendered details, the subtle blend of humor and pathos, the unpredictable yet instantly memorable melodies.
