John Hiatt : Have A Little Faith
Bill Holdship, Creem, October 1987
JOHN HIATT IS onstage at the Roxy in L.A.; just him and a piano. It's part of this international convention A&M Records is holding to celebrate the company's 25th anniversary, and Hiatt has just finished what will probably be a one-time-only set with guitarist Ry Cooder, bassist Nick Lowe and drummer Jim Keltner, the same stellar cast that backs him on his terrific and wonderful new LP, Bring The Family.
