John Hiatt - Live from Austin, TX [DVD]

One of the best of the Austin City Limits shows now transferred to DVD in an ongoing series, John Hiatt is in rare form with a terrific band (dubbed the Guilty Dogs) on this gig from his Perfectly Good Guitar tour. About ten minutes longer than the accompanying CD, the extra time doesn't include any additional songs, but gives Hiatt time to tell some pre-song stories, which adds another dimension to the viewer's enjoyment of the show. The singer/songwriter also dedicates selections here; the solo "Have a Little Faith in Me" to Barry White (from whom he apparently got some words of advice) and a raging version of "Buffalo River Home" to Jimmie Rodgers' daughter, who had recently passed and evidently liked the tune. Read More
