John Hiatt - 1988-09-13 - Boston, MA (FM)

This FM broadcast catches John Hiatt at WBCN studios in Boston on Stepber 13, 1988, 35 years ago today, promoting his upcoming October east coast tour. Hiatt was at the peak of his success in 1988, having released the album Slow Turing that year, following on the heels of his 1987 breakthrough disc, Bring The Family. Despite the critical acclaim, Hiatt could not generate the fan support to sell out larger arenas. He continued to play small clubs, such as The Paradis in Boston, where he'd play on October 4, and the Bottom Line in New York, where he would perform on October 7.  To be honest, those clubs better suited his musical style, though the result is he never achieved the commercial sucess he deserved.
