The Open Road

Indiana-born John Hiatt is an unlikely but enthusiastic champion of the Midwestern work ethic -- he's been making records since 1974, but 2010's The Open Road is his sixth studio effort since the dawn of the new millennium, and it sounds like the work of a man who isn't about to stop doing this work anytime soon.

The last we heard from John Hiatt, he was singing “Let's Give Love a Try”, the final tune from 2008's Same Old Man.
