John Hiatt was feeling strong after the success of 1987's masterstroke Bring the Family, so he rocked out a little more on the joyful, confident Slow Turning. His Louisiana quartet, the Goners, spearheaded by slide guitar innovator Sonny Landreth, made each hot tune ("Drive South," "Tennessee Plates") crack like a whip. Hiatt's rubbery soul singing, in turn, made each ballad ("Icy Blue Heart," "Is Anybody There?") tug at every available heartstring. The album became a bit of a hit factory for others, too--with Emmylou Harris, Suzy Bogguss, and Aaron Neville among the many who made Slow Turning's songs their own. This gold version of the title offers superior sound quality for a higher price than the standard-issue CD. --Michael Ruby

perfect classical rock.......2007-05-14

every rock fan should have a minimum one title by John Hiatt from late 80'. He was strong and romantic, therefore fantastic.

John Hiatt Slow Turning.......2007-01-06

I had worn out a tape cassette of this album years ago. And after having the mopey new boy guitar strummers played by my teen son in the house just had to get another copy. Great band. Lyrics that make me laugh out loud. Songs that tell stories clearly fiction and true to real adult life situations. And did I say great band?

I have over 500 albums/CDs (I realize there are people with thousands) and this is one of the five best that I own. It is unbelievably great.

A good follow-up to Hiatt's best-ever release.......2003-07-30

"Slow Turning" is Hiatt's first collaboration with Louisiana trio The Goners, which includes slide guitarist Sonny Landreth.
The arrangements are variously acoustic and electric, and several guest stars pop up: Former Eagles guitarist Bernie Leadon plays his National resonator guitar, then-session vocalist Ashley Cleveland and Dennis Locorriere of Dr Hook contributes backing vocals, and the Amazing Rhythm Aces' James Hooker sits in on organ.

Highlights include the tough rockers "Paper Thin" and "Tennessee Plates", the resigned, unsentimental ballad "Icy Blue Heart", the country-rock shuffle "Sometime Other Than Now", the tender love song "Feels Like Rain", and the excellent title track.

John Hiatt's 1987 album "Bring The Family" is without question his best ever, not least because he was able to work with his dream band (Ry Cooder, Jim Keltner and Nick Lowe).
But "Slow Turning" is no throwaway either. Not everything is equally memorable, sure, but it is still among Hiatt's better albums.
3½ stars.

Rock and Roll For Grownups.......2003-06-22

If you want to explore John Hiatt -- and you should -- start here. If you're a fan without this CD, what in the world are you waiting for? It just doesn't get a whole lot better than this.

John Hiatt writes about real life. There are no sappy teenage love songs, but there is a great song, "Drive South," about two lovers with "heads in the clouds, just a little off-course" and one more chance to make it work.

"Trudy and Dave" aren't your average couple, but their descriptions (and the baby's) are laugh-out-loud funny. "Tennessee Plates" has a great, catchy guitar riff and an even better storyline: a lonely, desperate man; a female Elvis fan who's "been living in-between" and a car theft in Memphis.

"Georgia Rae" is a song about Hiatt's daughter and fits in well with everything else here. The title song is Hiatt's view of the world: unbowed, but realistic. "Is Anybody There?" will put chills down your spine with its mass choir effect and deep lyrics. "Feels Like Rain" paints a beautiful, languid picture of lovers in the Deep South and the music fits as perfectly as the lovers do.

happiness takes place in small piano tunes.......2001-07-24

these short piano pieces are simple, but absolutely not boring. gurdjieff and de hartmann wrote some of the most thoughtful and sincere music you'll ever hear. I found this CD over a year ago and it's one I return to over and over again.

Cacaphonic Harmonious.......2001-07-15

Truly an exposition of beautiful "objective" listening. This music will not put you to sleep. Transitions are abrupt and engaging throughout the score's entirity. I play the music whenever I find myself searching for something to do or am bored. This music will consume all negativity and poke the listner to begin a stirring sensation in their own mentation. The music is not sophisticated or eligant by no means, but has a way about it which will intrige one to listen again and again.

"...Done a lot of dumb things, probably do some more...".......1999-03-08

Slow Turning is the second of three landmark albums (Bring The Family and Stolen Moments being the others) that established John Hiatt as the pre-eminent singer-songwriter of the late 80's. Unfortunately, the wisdom of the material was mistaken by most of his new fans (and eventually Hiatt himself) as "fun" Adult Contemporary. At the time, however, this was a big step forward, personally and professionally, for Hiatt. Replacing his previous band of legends (Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe and Jim Keltner) with his touring band, The Goners, this is Hiatt's best sounding album to date. Sonny Landreth plays just about every guitar under the sun to perfection. Ken Blevins and David "Now" Ranson provide a perfect blues-rock rhythm-section.

John Hiatt has always been a top-notch author of acerbic wit. He shows major signs of growth here, however. Slow Turning exhibits a more mature, resigned and happy man. "Though love's not earned / Baby, it's our turn...," he sings on "Drive South." His comic flair has been perfected by the likes of the interstate dragnet search for a car with "Tennessee Plates," and the adventure of two irresponsible youths and their baby "...who shot up an automatic teller machine / Took the money for the laundry and drove away clean...".

Hiatt treads familiar territory with "Icy Blue Heart," "Ride Along" and "Paper Thin." The difference here is that his not-so-lovable losers finally seem to have turned a corner, looking inward for a first time. "...And if I knew love," he states in the first song, "Well, I don't think I'd be here / Askin' myself if I've got what it takes...".

"Slow Turning" is the best Hiatt song I have ever heard. It's theme is universal ("...Life is short and here's the damn thing about it / You're gonna die, gonna die for sure...") and comical ("...You think you've come so far / In this one horse town / And she's laughin' that crazy laugh / 'Cause you haven't left the parking lot..."). Like a spinning record, an image any music lover would, he describes the process of growing older and wiser by realizing your potential through knowing your limitations will not keep you from succeeding.

"...It's been a slow turnin' / From the inside out / A slow turnin' / But you come about..."

With this album, John Hiatt has come about.
