This is one of the best Cd’s John Hiatt has dropped to date. It’s natural for John Hiatt to take a stab at ‘Uncommon Connection’ considering her long-professed love for Babylon Zoo. When you buy a John Hiatt album, you know exactly what you’re getting! IF you love John Hiatt, ‘Beneath This Gruff Exterior’ Mp3’s is the best!
Musically How Bad’s The Coffee is superior to other tracks in Beneath This Gruff Exterior. It’s such an underrated song. My Baby Blue is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. Overall a nice softer song. Almost Fed Up With The Blues is a strong cut, one of many. Although Circle Back is very melodic it is far from sad. In Window On The World John Hiatt spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Missing Pieces - arguably the best track on Beneath This Gruff Exterior album. Fly Back Home without a doubt is the standout song of Beneath This Gruff Exterior. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Charming song, great melody.
