John Hiatt - Crossing Muddy Waters - Later With Jools Holland

The magnificent John Hiatt, one of my all time favourite artists, and a keeper of the flame of rootsy rock and Americana for over 40 years now.
This acoustic performance of Crossing Muddy Waters was broadcast on Later With Jools Holland on December 2nd 2000.
Please note that copyright for this song and the original broadcast content belongs to the producers of the show and the artist involved and I in no way make any claims otherwise. Neither am I looking to make any monetary gain for this material. I am posting this purely so others can also enjoy this clip from my VHS vault.

A brilliant, under-appreciated singer/songwriter/musician. Cant wait to see him in 2024!

Hiatt is one of America's best writers and performers. This is proof.

Is there any one group of people that realize together as one that John should be understood for what he is- one of the finest - songwriter first, but also singer; acoustic ; performers; players

[Kaleidoscope]

John Hiatt has the magic touch here…both in his singing and beautiful playing. ❤️

A song writer and storyteller of the highest order. And don't forget that voice!! Unique in the greatest sense of the word. Go Johnny

John is such a masterful songwriter. The opening lines of this song prove that.

Love me some John Hiatt. Bring the family is a classic album.

Thanks for posting and Jules has so many talented guests! Love John Hiatt and the Goners with the amazing Sonny Landreth. I'm 64 and introduced my wife of 18 months to them and she loves them too! Going to see them and Buddy Guy in Milwaukee in July. Imagine, Buddy, Sonny and John all on the same stage! Yippie Ki!
