John Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. Hiatt's songs were covered successfully by everyone from Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, and Dr. Feelgood to Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and the Neville Brothers, yet it took him 13 years to reach the charts himself. Of course, it nearly took him that long to find his own style. Hiatt began his solo career in 1974, and over the next decade he ran through a number of different styles from rock & roll to new wave pop before he finally settled on a rootsy fusion of rock & roll, country, blues, and folk with his 1987 album Bring the Family.

Little Blue Song For You Lyrics
John Hiatt
Get your shoes on. shoe them blues on.
Get that full moon out of your eyes.
Youre the river. girl you live here,
With the sun way up in the sky.
Chorus:
When youre sad,
Let that sad come through.
Singing little blue song for you,
Little blue song for you.
Let your heart go. let them winds blow.
Theres so much you can learn.
When the change comes, darlin it might hurt you some.
Theres a time for things to turn.
Chorus
Listen to the earth, she call your name.
Lady love the children all the same.
Feels so good to let it out.
You know what I talk about.
Let your mind get up and shout, oh love.
Chorus
