About this listen

"You already know John Hiatt is one of our best songwriters, but what you might not know is his life is as great a story as his songs.... I thought I knew my John Hiatt, but I learned a lot." (David Menconi, author of Step It Up and Go)

By the mid-1980s, singer-songwriter John Hiatt had been dropped from three record labels, burned through two marriages, and had fallen deep into substance abuse.

It took a stint in rehab and a new marriage to inspire him, a producer, and an A&R man to have a little faith. By February 1987, he was back in the studio on a shoestring budget with a hand-picked supergroup consisting of Ry Cooder on guitar, Nick Lowe on bass, and Jim Keltner on drums, recording what would become his masterpiece, Bring the Family.

Based on author Michael Elliott's multiple extensive and deeply personal interviews with Hiatt as well as his collaborators and contemporaries, including Rosanne Cash, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, and many others, Have a Little Faith is the journey through the musical landscape of the 1960s through today that places Hiatt's long career in context with the glossy pop, college-alternative, mainstream country, and heartland rock of the last half-century.

Is this a joke?😳

A bio about one of this last centuries most beautiful, compelling, inspiring and inspired songwriters… And it is utterly ruined by the narrator. I don’t get it
