John Hiatt - She Loves The Jerk

[@wolfcave02]

若い頃のハイアットは色んな曲調にチャレンジしているけど、やっぱり素直なメロディが一番心に刺さる。

[@MrRazorblade999]

John Hiatt at his most Costello-esque. Brilliant pop.

[@kevtruth]

Elvis C. covered this song on his live solo tour 1984. When the tour came to LA, Hiatt joined him on stage and sang it with him

[@truthseeker1164]

Is it technically a cover, if the Costello version was released first ?

[@cassieshields9127]

@@truthseeker1164 no - John Hiatt wrote it and gets the royalties on it.

[@harmonium8198]

@@truthseeker1164 John Hiatt released his version before Costello covered it.

Took me a while to find all the necessary equipment and tonight I finally got around to taking my old LP and transferring this song to an mp3. I hadn't heard it in decades and now I discover this video. Always thought this was a great song, don't recall seeing a video back in the day.

I can't find the Costello version but this works

[@mizrae]

+josh solly Sweetie, it is not a Costello song but you are right in thinking it sounds like him...

[@JoshSolly2]

+Raechel Donahue he covered it on goodbye cruel world bonus disc I used to have it lying around but I can't find the psychical copy and I can't find it on the interwebs

[@mizrae]

+josh solly Oh I see. I used to play it on KROQ and I think it was actually on a 12 inch.But now it's on Ridin' with the King, which you can get on CD in theUS. If you can't find it let me know and I will find it for you and send it to you, as I assume you are in EU

Rodney Crowell did the definitive version in 1986.

[@JeffHayfordMusic]

Here's an example of how wrong a producer can be with a tremendous songwriter - trying to make Hiatt sound like EC is like oil and water - as the following years have proved. What a rolling train wreck the industry is -will the lawyers and accountants ever start caring about the art and craft of songwriters?

[@seanm3226]

Jeff Hayford Nobody tried to “make” Hiatt sound like E.C., he DID sound like E.C. Though I’m really a fan of all his incarnations, the albums that I find myself reverting back to are the E.C.-sounding ones. Five titles from 1979 to 1985. Edgier, more snarky, more witty. After that I, like Hiatt, just started getting old.

[@inkoinfinity2]

@@seanm3226 I think you mean Elvis sounds like Hiatt,Hiatt's released his first album before EC.

[@JohnnyZemo]

@@inkoinfinity2 Hiatt's first two albums don't sound anything like Costello, though. It's more Randy Newman-type stuff. By the time Hiatt's third album came out (1979), Costello (and some other Stiff Records folks) had been active for a couple of years. Or, think of it this way, Billy Joel borrows some of Elvis Costello's sound on his Glass Houses album, which came out in 1980. But even though Billy Joel's first album came out before Costello's did, no one thinks that Elvis Costello was influenced by Billy Joel.

@@JohnnyZemo tbf I wasn't being literal when I said Costello sounds like hiatt but I understand your point
