Reviews
"...a decidedly edgier offering than his last solo effort, 1990's STOLEN MOMENTS....Lucky for us, Hiatt hasn't forsaken his aching, bluesy, balladic side..." - Rating: B+, 4 Stars - Excellent - "...PERFECTLY GOOD GUITAR pits Hiatt's turbulent vocal style and hard-edged writing...against a band who sound as if they're getting the hang of the material for the first time...", Included in Q's list of `The 50 Best Albums Of 1993' - "...there's a youthful exuberance to the album that places it closer to the pop mainstream than anything this accomplished songsmith has done before....", Ranked #38 in the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll., 3.5 Stars - Good - "...there is rock after 40....John Hiatt touts craft and class...secure in the knowledge that he's a man who's already got soul...", "...John Hiatt's PERFECTLY GOOD GUITAR eschews the contented, balladic approach in favor of a guitar-driven, band-fueled album that's mostly about turning out to be restless after all...Hiatt's most fun album in ages..."
