MY KIND OF TOWN

(8-21-12)      HIATT RIOT...Have a little faith in JOHN HIATT, born 8/20/'52. IGGY recorded John's "Something Wild" on his "Brick By Brick" LP. It was even scheduled  to be released as the IG's follow-up single to "Candy" but cooler heads prevailed and the much more revelatory "Buttown" was released in its stead.  Of course "Buttown", aided by its high budget video, went on to sell millions and become the City of Los Angeles's Official Anthem.

  P.S. I dig John's albums "Bring The Family", "Slow Turning", and "Perfectly Good Guitar"....maybe you will, too..
