Crossing Muddy Waters

"Crossing Muddy Waters" is a raw and intimate acoustic journey from the legendary singer-songwriter John Hiatt, originally released in 2000. This fourteen-track album is a testament to Hiatt's songwriting prowess, recorded over four days at Hounds Ear in England with no drummer, allowing the focus to remain solely on the music and lyrics. The album blends genres like Americana, roots rock, country rock, and alt-country, showcasing Hiatt's versatility and depth.

With tracks like "Lincoln Town," "What Do We Do Now," and "God's Golden Eyes," Hiatt explores themes of life, love, and introspection, delivering a powerful and authentic listening experience. The album's reissue on New West Records brings this classic back to life, introducing it to new audiences while delighting longtime fans. "Crossing Muddy Waters" is a stripped-down, honest portrayal of John Hiatt's artistry, making it a standout in his impressive discography.
