Product Description
Looking at life through the rearview mirror was the inspiration for John Hiatt s brand new album, The Open Road. A classic Hiatt record, the rockin songs sizzle with the heat from two-lane blacktop on a summer s day. Hiatt and his touring band (Kenny Blevins on drums, Patrick O Hearn on bass and Doug Lancio on guitars) recorded a set that gives Garage Rock a new meaning. All the other years, my songs are about coming home, Hiatt says. But within these 11 new songs including Haulin and the title track The Open Road home is never the destination.

Hiatt and his touring band (Kenny Blevins on drums, Patrick O'Hearn on bass and Doug Lancio on guitars) recorded a test that gives 'Garage Rock' a new meaning.

 Aunque no vengas a España, da igual, eres el más grande ! March 8, 2010

Querido y estimado John, te escribo esto en los momentos posteriores al fallecimiento de mi padre. Que sepas que has hecho un disco "redondo", pleno de sentimiento e inspiración. Que sigas así por muchos años y a ver si hicieras el favor de venir de una puñetera vez a España, acompañado de tu espléndida banda. Intentamos verte yo,mi mujer y mi hija pequeña de 12 años, el día 27 de julio de 2008 en San Sebastián (Donostia), dentro del programa del festival de Jazz "Heineken" , pero no hubo manera. Suspendiste la gira europea de "Same Old Man" y nos quedamos con un palmo de narices. Espero que la próxima vez no nos falles. Saludos. Antonio (Leo del 13/08/1962).

After hearing Open Road and absorbing it over the last 24 hrs it really has grown on me. Tracks like Open Road, Go Down Swinging, What Kind of Man, Moving On, Fireball Roberts and Carry You Back Home are pure Hiatt. His voice shows the age but he still knows how to write a good song,
"everything back there is burned and dead. Any love they made any words they said, nothing to do now but drop it and roll, into the lights of the Open Road..."
just leave you spellbound.
The Band is in great form, the guitar is just awesome on Always Moving On and Fireball Roberts in particular...
Buy this you wont be sorry...

I tend to only write a review if I am annoyed by the lack of value in a product. This is not the case here. I put this CD into my car player and have been spinning it for two weeks(I have a 80 minute ride each day). It's a 6 disk player and every time another artist comes up I push the button to return to this disk. I have been a John Hiatt since ~1988-89 when I saw him on SNL with the Goners. His albums are certainly not of consistent great quality but they always are good. This CD stands out for me as one of his best since before Tiki Bar. Great songs, guitar, voice...what's not to love. He is an American classic and I hope he keeps cranking out his unique sound for many more years. One of your best John. Thanks once again man.
John is back. April 20, 2010

I am a serious fan of John Hiatt. This CD reminds me of the great material he was doing on "Bring the Family" and his other albums from that era. Yeah, John.
Open Road review April 20, 2010

The lyrical theme is leaving home and returning again..as usual honest and witty.
Musically the styles vary from rock to blues and country rock.
The songs flow nicely into each other and I found it a great driving record,don't know if that was intended?
It's definately a step up from 'same old man'(his last) and proves Hiatt still has plenty left in the tank in terms of musical gifts.
If your'e a Hiatt aficionado like me it's a must have!
