Track 4:-->"Icy Blue Heart" - John Hiatt - (Slow Turning) - (1988)

"She came onto him like a slow movin' cold front.
His beer was warmer than the look in her eyes.
She sat on a stool...
He said, "What do you want?"
She said, "Give me a love that don't freeze up inside."
John Hiatt

This is the musical medicine I take when I'm coming loose. Feeling out of step.

When I need the occasional, but necessary, emotional jumpstart...to feel connected with the world again.

John Hiatt provides the perfect prescription with his joyous and sometimes heart-aching classic..."Slow Turning" (1988).

Up-tempo songs like "Drive South"..."Trudy And Dave"..."Georgia Rae" are guaranteed to throw a smile on your face.

Wonderful ballads like "Is Anybody There"..."Feels Like Rain"..."Icy Blue Heart" hits the mark.

And crank-it numbers like "Slow Turning"..."Ride Along"..."Paper Thin" balances it all out.

John Hiatt - "Slow Turning" on Letterman

Filled with clever metaphors and similes, infectious Hiatt paints twelve solid songs with precise emotional strokes...assuring his listeners will experience a shared...head-nodding understanding.

Track 4 is "Icy Blue Heart"...a beautifully sad ballad about two love-jaded strangers meeting at a bar. Unforgettable!

John Hiatt music is made for warm summer drives and cool house parties. A lost classic.
Good stuff!
