Reviews Customer Reviews for Slow Turning      Like A "Slow Turning" Old Friend      Rating:      John Hiatt's 1988 release "Slow Turning" is a hands down classic. This was my introduction to John Hiatt after I heard the uptempo rocker "Paper Thin" on the local radio station. I soon discovered that this CD was one solid set of songs that were easy to listen to all the way thru. I just happen to listen to this great album the other day on my iPod while driving back from a worksite with a group of co-workers. It had been awhile since I listened to this classic, and towards the end I remembered just how good it is. The album kicks off with a few up-beat songs featuring great acoustic and electric guitars. John's backing band is very tight, with good production. "Icy Blue Heart" slows things down to a crawl, but what a great country-tinged ballad it is, telling the story of a couple who meet in a bar. I hadn't heard John's previous album to this, Bring the Family (1987), until recently. Many consider it his best, but I prefer Slow Turning because it rocks just a little more. The great songs just keep coming at you, and the beautiful closer "Feels Like Rain" is one of my favorite slow songs. It brings back memories of when I lived in Louisiana near New Orleans. If you listen to the song, you'll understand. If your thinkning of trying out some his music, you can't go wrong with this one. *****Highly RECOMMENDED*****     Customer Reviews for Slow Turning Cd      perfect classical rock      Rating:      every rock fan should have a minimum one title by John Hiatt from late 80'. He was strong and romantic, therefore fantastic. Editorial Reviews for Slow Turning Audio Cd      Amazon.com      John Hiatt was feeling strong after the success of 1987's masterstroke Bring the Family, so he rocked out a little more on the joyful, confident Slow Turning. His Louisiana quartet, the Goners, spearheaded by slide guitar innovator Sonny Landreth, made each hot tune ("Drive South," "Tennessee Plates") crack like a whip. Hiatt's rubbery soul singing, in turn, made each ballad ("Icy Blue Heart," "Is Anybody There?") tug at every available heartstring. The album became a bit of a hit factory for others, too--with Emmylou Harris, Suzy Bogguss, and Aaron Neville among the many who made Slow Turning's songs their own. This gold version of the title offers superior sound quality for a higher price than the standard-issue CD. --Michael Ruby
