Roots and groove mark this teaming of John Hiatt and the North Mississippi Allstars. On Master of Disaster, legendary Memphis producer Jim Dickinson and his sons Luther and Cody (the Allstars' guitarist and drummer, respectively) team with veteran bassist David Hood to give Hiatt's music a slow simmer rather than the high voltage fans might have expected from the collaboration. Yet the airy, organic interplay of the band provides the perfect complement for Hiatt's songs of folkish simplicity and lyrical grace. With the title track, he addresses the artist's midlife crisis and finds creative renewal in the process, a theme revisited in the country ballad "Old School." There's a ragtime spirit to "Wintertime Blues" and "Back on the Corner," the insistence of a tom-tom's thump on "Love's Not Where We Thought We Left It" and "Find You at Last," a slide guitar that slices and dices through "Ain't Ever Goin' Back." With "When My Love Crosses Over," Hiatt returns to the soulful, soaring romantic balladry that remains a signature specialty, while "Cold River" tells a story that probes the coldest resources of the human heart. The result is his richest and most consistently satisfying release since the late '80s. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews of Master of Disaster
Quite nice The relatively spare format of this disc, recorded with members of the North Mississippi Allstars, suits this particular batch of songs really well...I've always enjoyed the "less is more" approach with respect to Mr. Hiatt...And this is an above average set of songs for him. I'm not a knee-jerk fan per se, though I think JH is capable of some stone-brilliant songwriting. It's just that some of his stuff strikes me as distinctly middling sometimes. <

>But this, for the most part, is really great. My current go-to track is "Thunderbird": very catchy and strangely poignant, and next would be the gripping "Howling Down the Cumberland".... <

>Only a slight comedown from his last disc, "Gruff Exterior", which I thought ranks as one of his best ever....
Awesome
John Hiatt is an incredible musician, songwriter, singer and artist, and this album is spectacular. Full of wisdom, wicked humor, great guitar licks and lots of heart.

Other than the title track, this CD might grow on me, but then again maybe not.
