John Hiatt - Back Of My Mind Lyrics

I saw John Hiatt perform live with his band on tour in Australia on a bill with Robert Cray as the feature artist. Hiatt easily eclipsed Robert Cray even when Cray had the Memphis Horns backing him and it was the Robert Cray band that I had come to see. I started collecting his music after seeing him in that one performance and have been a fan of his music since

Love John!

I discovered JH in Memphis in early '87 by way of "Lipstick Sunset" and "Learning How to Love You".  When "Slow Turning" came out it felt as if he'd been following me around.

As others have pointed out, JH is timeless. I'm grateful to find one of America's greatest musical treasures, John Hiatt.

Prolífico John Hiatt. No tiene una mala.

this song reminds me of one of my favorites "John Prine".
Both great song writters and real Americina at it's best.

Damn straight. John is one of the finest singer songwriters I have ever known. It saddens me to watch him grow old. We all have to grow old but the few like him are a great loss to humanity when they go on. That man was a gift. There will never be another like him

3 years since my last comment, I don't know how many years I've loved listening to this fantastic artist, but I do know I will keep listening as long as I have breath.... Many thanks John!

That damn man scared us all to death..

Love this original artist producer for his own work with himself...development is beautiful...

Stolen moments the only constant album in my life for thirty years brilliant

Scott Langwothy ...bought it the day it was released... timeless

He's had a great career but this is from his true golden age - Bring the Family, Slow Turning, Stolen Moments, Perfectly Good Guitar. The pinnacle.

Creaulx ...Bingo.... Timeless gems all

Agree 100%

John Hiatt is the most underrated song writer of his generation. An American treasure.

I agree ...I see no earthly reason why his name shouldn't be right up there alongside of Springsteen and Mellencamp. Also standing head high should be Dave Alvin , Joe Ely , Tom Russell and a whole host of others too :)

John Hiatt is one of (IF NOT THE) song writer of his generation. I don't know about underrated. Not well known in the mainstreams of any the genres he crosses into. But anyone who knows music knows John Hiatt and his enormous contribution to American Music as a song writer and recording artist. AND John Hiatt absolutely kicks ass a stage performer. @RattlesnakeBob

@Telly Jonas couldn't have said it better. Musicians and songwriters (good ones anyway) knew his talent for many years before we ever heard of him. A great live performer as well

Been a Fan for 20 years. We will never hear another talent like this with such a voice. What a great tune!

Thanks for sharing this fantastic artist! Can't wait to see him again! 

UmmmmUmmm Ummm!!!

what.. anyway he is the best, my friend turn me on to him in 1990. his lyrics are fantastic

This man Haitt is BEYOND the award shows & accolades of people who have no clue what quality music is all about. When someone has to absolutely listen to something over and over and over and over again because it's that good - it is. 100 years from now what's top 10 will be forgotten -- just like the top ten twenty years ago is. But Haitt -- he will be redscovered like Muddy Waters was. He will matter, he will give importance to US with tunes like this & "Down Around My Place." Stunning stuff.

One of the finest songwriters this world will ever have. I admire and respect him as much as any of them.

CAWmen!!!!

an awesome song from a great writer .... :)

simply fuckin brilliant

This song has multiple layers of meaning: the source of inspiration, a humanist's search for meaning in life, alcoholism, aging, father-son. Brilliant poetry and music. One of the peaks of Hiatt's great career.

très bonne musique a l'époque
