I'm more with Miner on this one. IMHO, Hiatt's best work runs more to pop/rock than folk/blues. For me, he peaked with that incredible run of "Bring The Family", "Slow Turning" and "Stolen Moments", all of which are more hook driven than the more recent stuff. I agree that the music gains a certain depth or weight from the stripped down approach he's currently employing, but I prefer the earlier stuff. Just MHO.
Who knows, maybe he'll pull a Springsteen and come full circle.
