LYRICS:
Mississippi phone booth
In the middle of the night
Bugs flyin’ everywhere
Crazy in the gas station light
Heart pounding through my t-shirt
Pumping change in a call to you
Mississippi phone booth
Operator could you get me through
Flat black 84 Camaro
Run it up from New Orleans
Everything south of I-10
I just blew it all to smithereens
I’m somewhere close to Jackson
I need Memphis on the line
Mississippi phone booth
Tell Jesus I’m outta dimes
Quart of vodka eight ball cocaine
Not enough to change my mind
Mississippi phone booth
Please don’t hang up on me this time
I’m running straight outta time

Dear Americans, this man is one of your biggest national treasures. Please, do your best to keep him warm and safe, for the sake of all mankind. Thank you

[@marilpelley969]

I couldn't agree with you more. Been listening and enjoying Hiatt's music for years now. A national treasure indeed!!

[@picknfish]

Absolutely, one of the best US songwriters, for decades!

[@henriksrensen3220]

Jerry Douglas 👍

[@hiattriver]

Yes, we’ve enjoyed his music for a long time; in fact our 21 year old daughter, Hiatt, is named after him.

[@mikesangster677]

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@brianwalker3828]

John is sounding better than ever and the pairing with the Jerry Douglas band is fantastic. It's beautifully recorded too.

[@mark1952able]

Wowza record

[@kellykonoske91]

Real Music here everybody!!

[@mairianncullen8753]

Aren't we so lucky that John Hiatt, Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell, all buddies from 'Heartworn Highways' days are still with us and still making great music. Looking foward to this album!

[@marilpelley969]

Thanks for reminding me of that DVD I just may have to pull it out of my collection.

[@donaldmueller5235]

U guys r old

[@dougymc]

How good is this! You won't hear this on the radio. If you just listen to the radio, you're missin' out.

[@Mr1963corvette]

John the icon. The man keeps giving and contributing his outstanding music to all of us decade after decade. John Hiatt never ceases to amaze me. his lyrics have never been laconic nor tedious. He is a musical genius whose music has metamorphized and has both enthralled and mesmerized us over the last 50 years. Keep playing John. You are a blessing in the world of Blues and Bluegrass music.

[@scottsoucy6186]

John Hiatt and Jerry Douglas are both outstanding in their own rights, but together they are a match made in heaven!

[@patressakearns4290]

How on Earth can ANYONE give this a thumbs-down? Hiatt is musically impeccable. Ditto for Jerry Douglas. Both national treasures indeed. I thank God every day for the kind of heavenly music like they deliver.

[@frankwall5177]

I totally agree. It doesn’t get better.

[@Stringman1950]

Love John Hyatt. So underrated as a songwriter and guitar player. He’s the total package for the groove he’s in ... and love that growly voice.

[@fabianwolf6849]

It sadly feels like I'm the only 27 y/o who's diggin' & lovin' Hiatt... Thx 4 sharing!

[@steveoconnor7069]

Make your friends listen to him, it will be good for them.

[@StrikerHarris]

I'm 29 and love John Hiatt!

[@billalbritton4972]

Sounds like you were well raised

[@fabianwolf6849]

Well, my mother gave me Mozart, my father Motörhead. The Blues I found myself...

[@marilpelley969]

Consider yourself the lucky one.

[@alfoja3768]

Just like good wine, he gets better year after year. Can't wait to listen to the full album.

[@CuttingEdgetools]

[@SuperScoop00]

Nice to see John still with New West Records. He has been with them a long time now. Giving one of the greatest singer/songwriters that loyalty is unheard of these days. Love this song. Looking forward to the new disc.

[@BirdArvid]

New songs from Hiatt are always welcome, and a great band for your sound, John! I'll be gettin' this album..

[@Darkfatheroftheuniverse]

That's the best music for a night on the highway

[@roelkolthek1466]

Hi there, John Hiatt is an international treasure, loved and appreciated in Europe as well as - I'm sure - in many other parts of our world. One of the very best storytellers I've had the pleasure of meeting and listening to.... I am Dutch, living in Germany and at the ripe old age of 76 still moved by John's music. Here, with maestro Jerry Douglas and band, absolutely stunning!

[@judymcvey9005]

Love that dobro!!! Love John Hiatt s voice too! Wvhat a song!!!❤

[@akesha4138]

Superb timing and pick-up notes, sets a perfect mood for this story song.

[@SteveG123]

We love John Hiatt! Beautiful fit with Jerry's Band.

[@frankwall5177]

Well him and Taj Mahal were given their due. Congratulations gentleman! You both deserved the recognition.

[@kentborges5114]

MR. HIATT STILL ON TOP....AMAZING TALENT.

[@kenster007]

Hiatt and the JDB- can't go wrong. Great funky blues right there.

[@thomasziemann8107]

[@keithdavies100]

Oh, nice. Really, really nice. Thanks - just put a little groove back in my day.

[@messupfreq550]

John & Jerry (team) this is pure *magic* and one of the finest tunes I have ever heard!! Thank you very much!

[@JariLiitolaPikkuApuri]

Still amazing. Hiatt never disappoints.

[@chainsawcurtis]

Wish I could give it two thumbs up. A beautifully recorded tune.

[@bridgetvaughn1853]

Jerry Douglas you just keep getting better. Love that Mississippi Phone Booth !

[@fatClyde]

Sounding as good as ever..if not better !

[@billlundeen4983]

Awwwwwwww!!! Can’t stand it- how can anything BE SO BEAUTIFUL?!?!

[@brettreeves8410]

Hiatt always gives the finest slide players on the planet a song worthy of their skills. This may be the best pairing of an amazing career. Just when I thought we’d heard the best of Mr. Hiatt we get this masterpiece! Astounding talent and perfect sensitivity and empathy from the greatest dobro player of all time. As good as it gets gentlemen!!

[@kenster007]

Can't agree more brother

[@gerritsteenhuizen4569]

Wat weer een prachtige muziek, het is of het steeds beter wordt met John Hiatt, Groningen, Nederland.

[@kentaylor8004]

John, your voice is a treasure, but, beyond that, is your songwriting. I don’t want to say “never stop” but “keep going” sounds way better. Love your words, and your, GROOVE!

[@ulrichfriehe3459]

I know both musicians since decades; wonderful to see them play together.

[@davidsimmons608]

There's a Mississippi phone booth in my neighborhood. Great song. I love the match up with Jerry's band. John keeps climbing higher and higher with his music and performances.

[@johnpetterson2716]

I love this guy and producing with the Jerry Douglas Band is a natural, easy fit!! Keep it going John!

[@dekarmoussa]

I didn't know this singer at all but I find that his performance is terrible magical. Thank you to exist.

[@donaldmueller5235]

Just like the old days; a 3 minute blues with 2 amazing talents. Love this song…

[@stevemorton9585]

I had the chance to see John and Lucinda at the Portland zoo years ago. It was a hot day in the sun and as I’m wiping the sweat off my face I hear John say these words I have never forgotten” there are only two things you need to know about God,One: There is a God and two: you aren’t him”

[@madroseaustx7386]

I’m digging the rhythm and blues and John sounds amazing
