John Hiatt / Cry Love

Session At West 45th.

[@wolliollie]

Arrested Development brought me here. Another reason to love that show haha

[@betsareoff]

One of the best songwriters alive.

[@artwilmeth6944]

As Bonnie Raitt said John Hiatt is the only person who can rhyme amoeba with queen of Sheba.

[@AdjustableWaistband]

I have to borrow that..

[@yourturn777]

🤣🎉👏🏼💙💪🏼

[@paulrees8233]

This man is a genius storyteller in his songs. I have been fortunate enough to meet him. Diamond John!

[@RIGID01]

I worked with him, he's a gentleman through and through

[@betsareoff]

Saw him live once. He's priceless.

[@marycrockett5582]

A voice from another day-this is my favorite Hiatt song. It's still relevant in my life! Love love love

[@chinookskier]

Saw him in Calgary a few years ago... Wow, One of the top masters in his prime in a great setting. Always the best, A real class act. I'd love to see him perform with Chris Rea.

[@InsainlySain]

Wow! That's what I call a great acustick version. Harmonies, nice blend with guitar, bass and mandolin. And the composition, taking it down, bass out and shaker inn. Ahhh... Hiatt nails it!

[@philliesfan1971]

"Throwin' up ashes on the floor If this is a lesson in love Well what's it for? The heart won't remember The burning fire The next time you feel the flame of desire." Not sure any poet has said it any better.

[@jamesbentley1183]

agree

[@awizardatruestar]

Erik T spot on

[@Frenchblue8]

Beautiful song the guy playing the mandolin is unbelievable

[@alexpetty1742]

😉You can listen David Immergluck (Immy) with your mandolin🎸when he play w James Maddock or Counting Crows...🙋🏼‍♂️🇮🇹

[@marybishop3478]

i just saw john live for the first time 2 days ago. i still can't get it out of my mind. he was everything i hoped for and more. i wasn't familiar with this song that he played and it brought tears to my eyes. such an amazing song writer and performer. gives me hope for this world.

[@Jioma54]

Miss him, used to come by every yr. first time went never heard of one of our best songwriters ever, too many covers written by Hyatt. First night , had to go back for second night and back yr after yr.

[@rogerrrubin]

A moment of steel A dry-eyed house Did he say goodbye to you Or did you kick him out I know you're not afraid To go alone But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh, and bone Now whatcha gonna do When the planet shifts Whatcha gonna do Gonna slit your wrists Bleed all over the milky way The stars in your eyes look red today [Chorus:] Cry love, Cry love The tears of an angel The tears of a dove Spilling all over, your heart from above Cry Love, Cry Love The trust of a woman in his hand But he was a little boy, not a man You loved him stronger than he could feel Yeah he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel Now whatcha gonna do With the booze and the blush Whatcha gonna do When there's no rush Cop a little misery At the corner store Well' one day that train of pain won't stop no more [Chorus] Throwning up ashes on the floor If this is a lesson in love Well what's it for? The heart will remember The burning fire The next time you feel the flame Of desire [Chorus 2x] Cry love, cry love, cry love

[@jeaniehammond40]

Always loved anything John Hiatt did, My two songs are, "Little Head" and "Smashing a Perfectly Good Guitar". I always understood the lyrics to Little Head, but just recently I heard a snipit of "SPGG" and I could relate that song to my relationship with so much compassion, conviction, and regret. I never knew the true meaning of these lyrics in the late 80's or 90's when first hearing it, I just thought, like most people "why do they smash a perfectly good guitar on stage". Now I know why!

[@Tearloch]

John's new album touches me in places he has not in several years .. a fine touch to it...

[@Smilindog50]

The bass player is Davey Faragher, very talented guy. Saw this Hiatt tour with these guys; what a treat!

[@verified139]

The first time I ever heard Hiatt was on these old West 54th shows. I've been trying to get the videos of them ever since. Thanks for posting this.

[@Staylogical]

There are certain writers who have universal respect.This guy is one of them.

[@daysailor4055]

amazing song. The lyric is just perfect and soulful. This is an excellant post. thanks

[@2trainsrunning]

Chuck - bassist/bgvocalist is Davey Faragher.. who got coproducer credit for the album Little Head - and showed up later playing bass for EC's Imposters (check EC's TV program 'Spectacle')

[@micmac09]

What a beautiful mood ! A songwriter.

[@snowfish1121]

Such a wordsmith.

[@jmeara9912]

Xrt cubs opener yahatsees. Freshly divorced. Next to bob Marley the coolest thing I have ever seen. His stories are so funny

[@john-rodgerballenger2722]

John I love you ! Covid 2020 MERCY

[@kevinmccrohan3471]

JH is a Genius

[@richardblock2458]

Gotta love JH

[@philippegontier5510]

great song and great musicians !

[@shadowknight9807]

John Hiatt and Steve Earle and I have all about the same amount of sobriety. That's where the similarity ends....

[@czwall]

Great song, and the video is beautiful. Nice shooting/editing.

[@tanishabyrd6728]

Love it

[@dianewiegel7136]

love this song

[@Petercetera-1]

Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️

[@mylavila2725]

He was all wrapped up in himself like a orange peel. You get the picture!!!

[@cegtown]

this is huge!

[@EyeoftheU]

I've made a huge mistake...

[@FXMAN66]

Genius!!!!

[@artwilmeth6944]

David Imergluck on Mandolin .

[@durango925]

Gob brought me here

[@albertoiturburu]

great song

[@mr.timjohnston546]

I mean come on now... HOW FUCKING GREAT WAS THAT????!!

[@Mrjewishpoet]

Always dug david bring him back

[@bogeyman38111]

Is the bass player the same person that played in the band Cracker?

[@jonbrayton3624]

A marriage of Steel, Flesh and Bone...

[@mcouzijn]

So John really did sign my album! (No he didn't. You really think I brought an album to the concert? It was a B&W poster I'd taken off the wall. Anyway). "So Mr. Hiatt, I bought Warming Up To The Ice Age and it's great. Will it help you record another album?". I just read in a magazine about his problems with record companies. My opportunity to create some sort of entendre with Mr. Musical Genius. "Yeah, think so" John replied, hands in raincoat. Enough to reassure us. Then we grabbed a Grolsch.

[@dbcoll1957]

An American original... belongs in the same sentence with the likes of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Pete Seeger

[@LudvigAlm]

... But a qiuck look at wikipedia tells me that it was 2000

[@jamesnoland3293]

i want one of thoes skakey things

[@ShagWagon]

James Noland a muraca?

[@mcseas]

her?

[@ezHiker35]

@mcouzijn Remember LP's? Ha I just bought his latest LP!

[@lukel121]

how the fuck do they play together like that

[@squamish4244]

I've made a huge mistake.

[@ninjz]

@nukerbreath You've made a huge mistake...

[@jeffpowers8526]

well being that John Hiatt wrote this when whoever the hell ed sheeran was 4 years old I'd say he copied John

[@beth1782]

Arrested Development.

[@Rudikai100]

taylor swift? You can't do this!

[@KayleighBooker]

I grew up listening to John Hiatt with my Dad... classic songwriting and a classic voice. His songs bring me nostalgia and peace in the best way possible.

[@amyardito1713]

I grew up listening with my dad as well and Hiatt is always my go to for nostalgia!

[@jimdunleavy8649]

My man is as good as Springsteen and Dylan and gets so much less publicity. Outstanding songwriter

[@joelfortenberry7865]

best in my book- I'd put him in my top singer songwriters all day long. love the twist in language that's always there: but not always heard

[@mhibbing1]

Very good songwriter but not even close on this one.....

[@bigchief124]

I gave you an upvote because you respect his music. But, he couldn't write The River or Blood on the Tracks. So, let's not get too crazy here.

[@UrDomb]

C’mon man. “He was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel” is ridiculous. I love this song, and John’s work, but he is lightyears away from Dylan or Springsteen when it come to songwriting.

[@marksharman8029]

Ain't that the truth. He is a constant source of 'heart'.

[@mcouzijn]

First time I saw John Hiatt he was a desolate man. We're talking 1985, John touring with Loudon Wainwright. We're talking Enschede, The Netherlands. John and Loudon played to an audience of, say, a hundred students. That's what life was like for a genius songwriter from the US without too many hit records & a private life on the rocks. But you bet John performed as he would on your average Ottawa Bluesfest '99. Survivor's spirit. Musician's flame. Then came BTF. The rest, friends, is history.

[@squamish4244]

BTF?

[@mcouzijn]

@@squamish4244His most successful album, 'Bring The Family'. The one containing his monster hit 'Have A Little Faith In Me'.

[@wayneaustin2654]

That's David Immergluck on mandolin; the same musician that played on the CD

[@Frenchblue8]

Wayne Austin I can't get this comment in reply to you to show on the public comment section I don't know why but in any case yeah the guy playing the mandolin is beyond incredible. It just makes the song that extra bit amazing

[@alexpetty1742]

😀D.Immergluck is one of the guitarist of Counting Crows and play w James Maddock

[@joefabian7304]

And Davey Faragher too

[@spottertruk]

God, I love John Hiatt - and especially this piece.

[@robertatoby6737]

Started listening when I was 13...am 61 now and I'm still a huge fan. Still remember all the words, music and the memories invoked.

[@christinecornetta7011]

Me to and I’m 68!

[@stecklein7]

He's got it all. Passion, meaning, talent...

[@Petercetera-1]

Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️

[@robertlong9552]

I know this legend through my parents especially this song and feels like rain. Never heard bad music in this house hold. Great track

[@nates.249]

He says it like it is too, doesn't hold back. Lyle Lovett is another underrepresented songwriter with great talent.

[@stevenm.6886]

I always love the sly humor and word choices he uses. Wrapped up in himself like an orange peel 😂 Love it

[@joelfortenberry7865]

in this way he's one of the sneaky-est of the best songwriters - it may be years later before you realize the wordplay or enuendo in a song you thought you knew. absolute master- and still finds room for humor..

[@hannielghezzi4352]

This live version is even better than the recording! 🔥

[@thescrivener8516]

John should be in the R&R HOF. Brilliant writer and performer.

[@mylavila2725]

I could listen ro this all day!

[@musicsunhappy]

Beautiful song, and sound. Saw JH a dozen times. Great live performer. Thank you.

[@31Alden]

No one does it better, more soulfully, more real .. than John Hiatt.

[@08shortstop]

John's genius on display with tight trio ..... harmony is spot on.

[@joelfortenberry7865]

beautiful

[@johntrik]

Except being one of the most important singers/songwriters of his genre,Hiatt is a damn fine rhythm picker too.Great mandolin pickin',great harmony singing!!!

[@squamish4244]

Guy has barely charted but his songs have been covered by dozens of artists.

[@Tyler-jk8hk]

They're laughing with me Michael.

[@mikestrimbu1071]

That guy sure can play the hell out of the mandolin. Great Song!

[@omarazam123]

such a sweet refrain! they nail it!

[@spacedoginnebraska]

The older I get, the player I smoke

[@geoffwilcox5835]

great song, great version!

[@Slowpoque]

I've made a huge mistake...

[@longterm11581]

does any one have any idea of how to get hold of the video of this Session at W 54th? It has to be available somewhere. For a Hiatt fan, it is a must have. LT

[@dbcoll1957]

There are few singers and songwriters whose songs become a part of the American fabric... Woodie Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan... John Hiatt deserves the same icon status as those greats.

[@gottadomor7438]

Great take but the studio take's drum part IS necessary - really adds to the song's power mhi anyway ...

[@jmay35801]

Man,this show,introduced me to so many new to me music and and expanded my music taste.

[@hectorsalinasisback]

Dave Imergluck is an amazing musician. He as recorded and toured with Counting Crows for a longtime and was part of Paul Collins Beat on Collins solo album which featured Chris Isaaks band. The self titled Paul Collins album with Collins wearing a cowboy hat on the cover, not The Beat self titled LP.

[@dkowens98]

Ooooooohhhhweeeee that’s good!!!

[@valentinasacco7976]

Greattttttttttttttttttt song,This man si beyond everything

[@kosteriowa]

that would be david immergluck on mandolin..saw hiatt tour with him...mid to late 90's thinkin' col ballroom..davenport iowa...new cd..."the open road" really a good one !

[@adamsasso1]

Man, that harmony is delicious

[@maxkol4380]

John Hiatt and company: great artists and true gentlemen.

[@marktrela7309]

Love this song.....

[@Minitaxi-sd5sw]

I just love these recordings, seen John live 5 Times.

[@Noursbear]

....And did you know that Immy was in fact a big fan of the "Horslips" roadies crew ? Yes indeed... LOL LOL LOL

[@kandylangford5886]

Totally enamoured w/John & this song...

[@Petercetera-1]

Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️

[@Billabromitis]

He's brilliant

[@jasonmay9387]

Sessions at West 54th introduce me to so many great musicians,

[@fabiosmith2074]

Che dire...una grande Song di un grandissimo songwriter : il resto é superfluo

[@rogerrrubin]

The trust of a woman in his hand But he was a little boy, not a man You loved him stronger than he could feel But he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel Now what you gonna do with the bruise and the blush What you gonna do when there's no rush Cop a little misery at the corner store Well one day that train of pain won't stop no more

[@Barnakos]

Hiatt is a good musician. But to me he is a legendary songwriter

[@pretorious700]

@noahfarbjon uh, do you have fingers and ears? not that difficult

[@rogerrrubin]

A moment of steel, a dry eyed house Did he say goodbye to you, or did you kick him out I know you're not afraid to go alone But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh and bone Now what you gonna do when the planets shift What you gonna do, gonna slit your wrists Bleed all over the milky way The stars in your eyes look red today [Chorus] Cry love, cry love The tears of an angel The tears of a dove Spilling all over Your heart from above Cry love, cry love

[@starsandstrikes212]

video is fine the political commercial is crap .to real need to see these lies

[@robertengland2340]

Angry Justin Beiber fans down-voted this song.
