FULL REVIEW at: http://jazzsick.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/lovett-hiatt/ [pic] Well, had you asked me at the beginning of the week, “are you going to see Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt?,” my answer would have been “um… no.” My wife had seen Lyle Lovett a few years ago open for Sting and loved Lyle’s music, but I wouldn’t say we were seeking out going to this show. However, some friends of ours who had tickets ended up with a conflict and gave the tickets to us (thanks J&M!). [pic] For me, Lyle’s music is a touch too close to country to seek him out, and I had never even really heard of John Hiatt. Regardless of that prejudice and ignorance about their music, I had a lot of fun. Lyle and John came out around 7:45pm and immediately started talking. This would kick off the format – a lot of talking and each person trading off songs. [pic] They were both great storytellers through their songs, and I was glad that they weren’t too twangy (really my only big gripe with country music is the twang). It’s actually hard to say which part was more entertaining, their songs or their banter. After about an hour, they’d only made it through 8 songs, and their songs aren’t generally long. They really seemed to be good friends who let us into their living room to watch them shoot the *** and play some songs for each other. Setlist: (two and a half hours) Drive South [JH] Fiona [LL] Walk On [JH] LA County [LL] Thunderbird [JH] Home Is Where My Horse Is [LL] Tennessee Plates [JH] I Will Rise Up [LL] Always Movin’ On (new) [JH] South Texas Girl [LL] Have a Little Faith in Me [JH] Choke My Chicken [LL] Crossing Muddy Waters [JH] North Dakota [LL] Memphis in the Meantime [JH] Her First Mistake [LL] Through Your Hands [JH] My Baby Don’t Tolerate [LL with JH guitar solo] Ain’t No More Cane [LL & JH] Encore: Thing Called Love [JH & LL] If I Had a Boat [LL] Overall, it was a great show. They were both great storytellers and quite humorous. They seemed to be very well paired and play off (and with) each other well. Thanks again J&M for the tickets! ~Dan

John Hiatt and Shawn Colvin at the Mountain Winery above the lights of San Jose... beautiful setting for a great evening of music. Hiatt was strong in voice and very capable on guitar as well as keyboards. Except for being joined by Shawn Colvin (she opened for him and was very enjoyable), Hiatt performed a solo show. He bantered with the crowd and ultimately took a couple requests. One was for Perfectly Good Guitar and he performed an acoustic version which proved to be nearly as rousing as the electric version. If the opportunity arises, I suggest you drop what you're doing and go see John perform. Solo or with his band you won't be disappointed. Sadly he wasn't booked at the venue this year (2008); I can only assume it was because of the ongoing construction at the venue. Hopefully he will return in 2009!
