One of my favorites...

John Hiatt has been making music for ever.  OK, not for ever, but a long time.  If you love good lyrics and a master guitar player... he is your man.  I looked for some of his live stuff, I want you to see how amazing he is on the guitar.  I have liked him for a long time, but it wasn't until I saw him live, totally by himself, that I started to really love him.  He as written a lot of songs that you know.  But, like Dylan, a lot of people know them through remakes from other artists.  Songs like, "Have a little faith in me", "Angel eyes", and "Thing called love" have been covered by tons of people including Dylan, Clapton, and Bonnie Rait.  Anyways, I couldn't find the live version for a lot of the songs I love, but here is one.  If you like great lyrics and great acoustic guitar give this a try.  I also posted his lyrics to "Have a Little Faith In Me".  Not one of my favorites by him, but does show the power of his lyrics.  

Dr. Doolittle, you would like him.  Nothing fake, not pretentious,  never overproduced.  Just likes making and playing great music.

When the road gets dark

And you can no longer see

Just let my love throw a spark

And have a little faith in me

And when the tears you cry

Are all you can believe

Just give these loving arms a try

And have a little faith in me

And

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

When your secret heart

Cannot speak so easily

Come here darlin'

From a whisper start

To have a little faith in me

And when your back's against the wall

Just turn around and you will see

I will catch, I will catch your fall baby

Just have a little faith in me

Well, I've been loving you for such a long time girl

Expecting nothing in return

Just for you to have a little faith in me

You see time, time is our friend

'Cause for us there is no end

And all you gotta do is have a little faith in me

I said I will hold you up, i will hold you up

Your love gives me strength enough

So have a little faith in me
