We over the hill, indeed,but your music is better than ever. Thank you

commented 2 years ago, since then had to have my prostate removed due to cancer, all good now. This song still makes me smile and helped push me through the tough times. And I am not over the hill and i will keep smiling

[@tankhalffull]

God Bless...

[@richardevans4961]

I owe this man my life. His words and his music have got me through some very low points in my life. Thank you sir, you still got it.

[@sylvangroth4074]

I know exactly what you mean. Hugs from a fellow fan.

Yep. Same here.

We went on the road fulltime in 2017 in our RV and one of the first things we did was drive to Madras OR for the eclipse. Now we're still on the road and there is another one coming up next month in April 2024. In all that time I lost touch with John Hiatt until I just now found this album. Just like old times only now chilling here on our place Rancho Sueño Azul in Baja. In the meantime I've heard a lot of weak music trying to stay in touch with new performers, I had almost forgotten how musicians used to actually play their instruments! I last saw John perform in Redding CA, it was a great show,I remember him telling the audience that they felt more comfortable there because 'they were inland people'. But a few years before back in the 90s I was walking to work one morning through the Tenderloin in San Francisco when I encountered him coming my way on the sidewalk. So cool to just encounter him on the street! Things like that happened a lot in the City back then. I'm 69 now but definitely not Over The Hill, going out kite surfing today on the Sea of Cortez for my 33rd session this year. It's been a Slow Turning alright...hey hey hey!

[@martind.jr.1973]

John Hiatt proves again with this song, that you don't need difficult chords or some impressive riff to tell a story, this sounds so groovy it standss of its own, just a man with his guitar, drums, bass and an organ, it does the trick ! Don't you just love this.....

[@dirkpitt130]

How appropriate to discover this song on the day I begin my 60th year on this planet. I work with a crew of 30 something's. They think I'm old but they can't out work me. Wouldn't trade places with them. They missed growing up with John Hiatt, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Brown, Carly Simon and all the greatest songwriters from the early days of FM radio. Got to see John and Lyle Lovett pre-covid. The stories of the road were as much fun as the music. Better to be over the hill...than under it!

[@joannehack7588]

I see JJ Cale smilin’

[@joannehack7588]

😁

[@joannehack7588]

I ‘m smilin’ too. Love this

[@janwillemoosthuizen]

Over the hill? No way. He's better than ever!

[@carljeffrey82]

love it , there is a country for old men

[@mercergeorge]

I met John Hiatt and his band in a restaurant in Melbourne. They were so polite to me and my family.

[@hattiecurtis]

John Hiatt....raw truth

[@johncarey6963]

I love the rolling Hammond B-3 and echo Fat Clyde about the J.J. Cale-like guitar. It doesn’t get a whole lot better than John Hiatt, truly an American treasure. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, what the hell are you waiting for???

[@jamesstewart5937]

heck yeah!!!

[@djtrendsetta5766]

@John Carey "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, what the hell are you waiting for???" They've got to put Nelly, Trick Daddy, and Kendrick Lamar in there first. Ya' know, for "diversity."

[@marktrela7309]

John Carey x....yes, I, too, caught the JJ Cale tribute.....nice!

[@charlesjrdavis9914]

I agree 100% With his body of work, how can he not already be in the HOF?

[@gabrielarodrigues154]

put it OUT there get their fu##ing attention

[@tesswonderful4194]

He just performed this on CBS Saturday Morning. 💜💜💜 I think this 67 year old black woman just fell in love.

[@cynic0007]

Saw it too while recovering from a hangover. I am a straight white male and I think I am in love as well - also the lead guitar player's thumb work in the CBS appearance is too much.

A superb songwriter. An American voice that speaks clearly to an international audience. Massive respect from Birmingham, England.

Seconded. Time for John to come to Brum.

The petition starts here.

[@richardsmith1334]

Same here " massive respect" for a great sound from South Derbyshire , England.

[@paulcarver5940]

If the music is this good, I want to go over the hill with him. We'll leave the current musical wasteland behind and bask in sublime blues rock like this. I was happy to find an autographed copy of the LP at Barnes and Noble.

[@twelveifyoucounttheacciden2518]

There's more musicians than can be heard in this world, but still only a handful of great songwriters. Thank you, John Hiatt.

[@nigeh5326]

Twelve if you count the Accidentals ain't that the truth my friend

[@rodshop5897]

Are you also aware of the band The Accidentals? Might want to check them out. Different from John, but good stuff.

[@SimonM2846]

Sad to say I've just discovered this guy. Wonderful

AMAZING lyrics. Won me over.

[@hcgreier6037]

Goes down like oil. Hiatt can still top his œuvre. Great craftsmanship, great art 🥰

[@Tinsley_Ellis]

I think this is the best all-around album to come out in years.

[@GeorgeFordrule]

yes, being over the hill is pure freedom

[@fraysqueen]

I love this song and this video. I accidentally came upon part of the shoot for this. I was in Nashville for cochlear implant follow up. I watched patiently and was just in awe. After the shoot was over John and a couple of his staff came and talked with my friend and I. What a wonderful memory we made that day. Thanks again John for everything.

[@hagar6359]

I just heard this on Spotify when I was in the gym. I am 58 and this song made me smile. I am growing older yes but I am not going down without a fight. Now I can't stop listening to it. Anyone calls me over the hill, I will just smile, I know better lol!

[@lyricalone1963]

Every note and lyric is candy to my soul.

Fantastic. And the bonus J.J.Cale-like guitar picking just makes it sublime !

God Bless JOHN HIATT.

[@jimburnham7282]

Hey, glad to hear this, John, I dig it. Shoot, I guess I'm over the hill too. Well! So cool to have someone like you express it so well! Thanks! Just continue to enjoy doing this - PLEASE! For ALL of us!

[@ziastateofmind]

@John Hiatt 🎵 BWAHAHAHAHAHA

[@holycanolli3635]

For anyone who's interested, the wonderful JJ Cale inspired guitar work is done by Yates McKendree, son of the keyboardist and producer on this album, Kevin McKendree. The kid was 16 when they cut this track! He was also the engineer on the album. Talk about talented. His dad was the longtime bandleader for Delbert McClinton.

[@joannehack7588]

😻

[@brianjohns4394]

Thanks for that info - first time I heard this song the JJ Cale style guitar jumped through the speakers and grabbed me. What a great song.

[@ronaldhall2489]

Thanks for the info J J is my favorite musician and song writer also like Delbert being from Mobile crossed paths many times great people who and still know their craft and John is cut from the same mold

I'm over the hill under the bridge Still a few peaks and valleys I ain't seen You talk about love I talk about love I don't know any better than to dream I know your father's house it has many rooms I see the young men sweeping up with their brooms But, if you want me I'm over the hill Yeah, if you want me I'm over the hill I'm long in the tooth what can I say I take huge bites of life and I eat the bones The gristle and marrow feeds my soul Gives me the strength to forgive all the sticks and stones And what you see in me you think I see too I didn't get here telling stories for you But, if you want me I'm over the hill Yeah if you want me, baby I'm over the hill I hear a distant cry A tear forms in your eye For the way things might have been We can't live that again No time to fill the cup No time to screw it up We'll have to place our bets On the dog with no regrets Well time won't tell Heaven or Hell Time just pisses his secrets down the stream You talk about love I talk about love Sometimes I even think we know what we mean No band of angels bringing peace to the streets We wear the garments and we shuffle our feet But, if you want me baby I'm over the hill, yeah But, if you want me baby I'm over the hill Oh, I'm over the hill baby I'm over the hill baby I'm over the hill baby

[@leicestergirl63]

I've loved this wonderful, super talented man since the 80s when I first heard Living a Little, Laughing a Little - his duet with Elvis Costello. His song writing is second to none and I love the gruffness yet purity of his voice. I hope he'll be around, singing and song writing, for many years to come. He looks so frail in this video though so I hope he's in good health.

Remember the torture of "big hits" played on midis, when great guitar riffs seemed extirpated from most of the music scene? Like so many others have said, you helped rescue me from the worst times of my life, and from the doldrums of that awful "music" way back when. Thank you, sir.
