John Hiatt - Stolen Moments

I Often Wonder...

I often wonder why Hiatt isn't heralded as one of the best musicians ever. It seems like he has a solid, respectable fan base, but still not mainstream acknowledgement. Now, I'm sure Hiatt doesn't care about being mainstream (his music proves it), but I wish he was given more credit and acknowledgement for his work. Stolen Moments is one of his finest offerings. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! May 11, 2008

If You Have To Pick Just One

John Hiatt fans are, if nothing else, opinionated. I can certainly see how the hard-core faithful who love "Slow Turning" and "Bring the Family" might find "Stolen Moments" a bit too commercial. But like earlier reviewer Sherry Lazaroff, "Stolen Moements" was my first Hiatt album (I heard it at a party and asked "Who is THAT??")and I've been a fan ever since. You might say that since "Stolen Moments," I've "grown" into "Slow Turning," "Bring the Family," "Perfectly Good Guitar" and the nice get-together on "Little Village." That said, I never tire of coming back to "Stolen Moments." It remains a staple of both my "road trip music" and my "kicking back at home" music. Well-expressed sentiments, nice licks, and clean production work. Without taking anything away from what are commonly deemed the Hiatt "classics," if you've never bought a John Hiatt album, this is a heck of a good place to start. April 4, 2006

Must Biatt Hiatt

If you had to pin me down over my favorite Hiatt album than this would very narrowly win from all the others. Most sheep would have you believe Bring the Family or Slow Turning are Hiatt's definitive albums but I think this album is Hiatt reaching perfect balance. Combining, country, blues and rock with John's vocal at it's best and to my mind some of his strongest lirics. This album is It!! Buy It!!

Stolen Moments

This was the first CD I heard from John Hiatt. I've bought every CD since. He's like your best buddy, your brother, the nice guy you wish you'd meet, etc. Great music. Great lyrics. October 10, 2005

Premium Hiatt in His Prime

John Hiatt is AWESOME baby! And this album is one of those albums that continues to grow on you every time you listen. Its why I never grow tired of listening to it. It is so diverse and has so many musical elements in it. It's nearly impossible to put in words the bare essence of this eclectic performer and how his raw and broad talent is captured... Probably, one of the most overlooked albums ever made period! Buy this damn album NOW!!! December 19, 2003
