As I mentioned in the country side of this dual countdown to Valentines Day filled with songs that have “love” in the title, today’s rock artist and country artist have done tours together. Double your pleasure and fun with two greats! For today’s rock act, it’s another longtime favorite of mine showing up yet again.
Don’t Know Much About Love - John Hiatt
So apparently this song was recorded but never put on an album during Hiatt’s Capitol era. When he left for New West Records Capitol (as all his other labels had done) put out a “greatest hits” album that included this previously-unreleased tune.
Too bad it hadn’t been released and run with. It may have given Hiatt a hit. It’s fun and upbeat, with a little R&B feel to it.
However, with all those hits he’s written for others, I’m pretty sure he’s not crying about not having a “hit” of his own. Hiatt’s in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and I think he’s very comfortable with his “lot in life.”
Don’t Know Much About Love
Written by John Hiatt
Recorded by John Hiatt
From The Best of John Hiatt, 1998
Can you teach me how to:
This is just a really good catchy uptempo tune. I do not own the rights to this.

A lot of my favorites have “different” voices, like Hiatt, Warren Zevon, and John Prine.

Funny how that always seems to happen when an artist leaves a label.

It should come as no surprise that I don't recognize either.
