John Hiatt & Ry Cooder Riding with the King

This recording came from the King Biscuit Flower Hour in 1983, while Hiatt was promoting the release of his sixth album, Riding With the King.

Got to hear Hiatt live...one of my best days.

[zacharybuckner]

Anyone playing alongside Ry Cooder is in fact riding with the king

[albenner]

One of the best singer song writers of the modern era. So under rated. I've seen him several times and met him twice...He is the real deal. Probably my favorite artist of all time...

[jimdonovan]

I will never ever understand why he continues to fly below the radar screen... singer, song writer, performer... he's among the elite of his genre.

'Bring the family' for me is the album that opened my eyes and ears to John Hiatt. Ry Cooder Jim Keltner and Nick Lowe.... and a whole lot of incredibly penned songs. My whole perception of music was altered.... and so my search for older Hiatt CDs began. What a big beautiful journey. Keep walking Johnny

Great vocals, superb me, the base line drives this. Stuck in my head for days.

John, way too smart, deep and pure for the masses. Perfectly Good Guitar one of the best records ever made. He sings live just like a record, no almost notes for John.

John is a real performer as well as gifted songwriter. Rockin' combo, too. :)

I first heard this song with BB King, and Eric Clapton and the lyrics matched the video of BB and Eric riding in a caddy.

[jetobey]

Smart enough to enlist the best studio man and versatile player ever--- Cooder. I say that being a " Clapton is God" subscriber.

[zindy]

John is a great song writer and performer, and Ry is about one of the best guitar players ever.

[jimbond]

Stupendous!! I didn't realize John & Ry went that far back. Between Ry and Sonny, John has played with 2 incredible slide guitar players!!
