It's very good IMHO.....5 or 6 other submissions from this album were rejected....go figure.

You must listen to RP all day, every day!  I wish I could at least hear some other songs from the CD.  I listen to RP 8-5 M-F.

This song has been played 6 times in the last 30 days.  I like John Hiatt, but this is still too often in my book.

A wonderful song of Hiatt - possibly his best!

Finally it has it all - something's usually missing in his music!

Hyperbole in assessing the playlist does no one any good here.  Please get real before complaining.

I think you exaggerate sir. A few times a week at most. NO artist gets seven plays a day here or there would be a listener revolution.

The way Bob Dylan only wished he could be. A listenable, talented singer AND a great lyricist. So far Bob only conquered the latter.

Yeah, I'd be interested to hear how the rest compares to this? V tempted to purchase on the basis of this song...

Joan doing Dylan. Dylan doing Dylan.  John Hiatt doing John Hiatt.  That why I love RP!

Lovely lyrics, but this piece seems to be in the Playlist just a little too often, imho.

I saw/hear Hiatt at Lebanon Opera House in New Hampshire. He was awsome. Love his lyrics. iTuner wrote:

I'm sure that in a discussion of classical music in another thread we decided, by consensus, that there is no, "Not for RP" music....

I really, really enjoy this, but I have to confess that the first time I heard this, I heard Pancho and Lefty as done by Willie and Merle. Am I nuts?  My apologies if this has already been discussed here on RP.  

Have a listen:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvdmxszsDM8

I continue to hear this every time I listen to Adios to California. Would value a second opinion, not on the nuts part, but on what I think I hear.

John Hiatt and Mark Knopler would make for a good duet.

Bumped it to a 9.  It's better than when I first heard it.  Hiatt's a master troubador.

Love this song, I recognize most of the references in it — which adds some nice personal depth to my enjoyment.

Currently it is raining in Pasadena, BTW. {#Clap}

This is a great album!  If you've never bought a John Hiatt album, this is the one.

I always loved the work he did with Bonnie Raitt, and his Let's Go to Memphis was truly awesome, and am happy to hear his new stuff on RP!
