When you stay up all night watch You Tube videos you’ll wake up late. I’m still in bed, so I’ll fall out of here shortly and go enjoy the day. But fist, another song with “fall” in the title. #9: Falling Up - John Hiatt Hey, Mr. Hiatt! Long time no use. At this point in the game, John Hiatt was still relatively unknown. He had written one hit, Three Dog Night’s “Sure As I’m Sittin’ Here,” but he was still floundering away in an alcohol river of poor sales. Still, he managed to turn out a pretty darn good album. And it didn’t get lost in the scrap heap of forgotten albums: Eric Clapton and B.B.
