The Open Road

Looking at life through the rearview mirror was the inspiration for John Hiatt's 2010 album, the Open Road. A classic Hiatt record, the rockin' songs sizzle with the heat from a two-lane blacktop on a hot summer's day. Hiatt and his touring band (Kenny Blevins on drums, Patrick O'Hearn on bass and Doug Lancio on guitars) recorded a test that gives 'Garage Rock' a new meaning. 'All the other years, my songs are about coming home,' Hiatt says. But within these 11 new songs, including 'Haulin' and the title track, 'The Open Road', home is never the destination.
