Customer Reviews for Little Head
Not Hiatt's Best Work
Rating:
The best song on this album is Pirate Radio, other than than, most of the songs seem a bit uninspired. Not my favorite Hiatt album by long shot. Still, long time fans will be pleased, but be advised, he has better stuff out there.
Customer Reviews for Little Head Cd
Uninspired
Rating:
John Hiatt's strength lies in his songwriting, and it is here that "Little Head" is lacking. Most of this album is bland, to the point that it fails to inspire in me any desire for repeat listening. Unfortunately, even the strong musicianship of the backing band, most notably David Immergluck whose guitar work is stellar throughout, cannot save these songs. The title track and "Sure Pinocchio", for example, attempt to be witty but can't escape cliché. Even these are preferable to "Runaway", "My Sweet Girl" and "Feelin' Again" which are uninspired to the point of vapidity. This is not to say that "Little Head" lacks high points. Both "Graduated", which features sly lyrics and a great arrangement, and "Woman Sawed In Half", which carries its metaphor to sublime lengths whilst being driven by a searing slide guitar, are quite good. However, taken as a whole, "Little Head" pales in comparison with its much better predecessors "Walk On" and "Perfectly Good Guitar".
