commented 2 years ago, since then had to have my prostate removed due to cancer, all good now. This song still makes me smile and helped push me through the tough times. And I am not over the hill and i will keep smiling
We went on the road fulltime in 2017 in our RV and one of the first things we did was drive to Madras OR for the eclipse. Now we're still on the road and there is another one coming up next month in April 2024. In all that time I lost touch with John Hiatt until I just now found this album. Just like old times only now chilling here on our place Rancho Sueño Azul in Baja. In the meantime I've heard a lot of weak music trying to stay in touch with new performers, I had almost forgotten how musicians used to actually play their instruments! I last saw John perform in Redding CA, it was a great show,I remember him telling the audience that they felt more comfortable there because 'they were inland people'. But a few years before back in the 90s I was walking to work one morning through the Tenderloin in San Francisco when I encountered him coming my way on the sidewalk. So cool to just encounter him on the street! Things like that happened a lot in the City back then. I'm 69 now but definitely not Over The Hill, going out kite surfing today on the Sea of Cortez for my 33rd session this year. It's been a Slow Turning alright...hey hey hey!
John Hiatt proves again with this song, that you don't need difficult chords or some impressive riff to tell a story, this sounds so groovy it standss of its own, just a man with his guitar, drums, bass and an organ, it does the trick ! Don't you just love this.....
How appropriate to discover this song on the day I begin my 60th year on this planet. I work with a crew of 30 something's. They think I'm old but they can't out work me. Wouldn't trade places with them. They missed growing up with John Hiatt, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Brown, Carly Simon and all the greatest songwriters from the early days of FM radio. Got to see John and Lyle Lovett pre-covid. The stories of the road were as much fun as the music. Better to be over the hill...than under it!
Saw it too while recovering from a hangover. I am a straight white male and I think I am in love as well - also the lead guitar player's thumb work in the CBS appearance is too much.

I love the rolling Hammond B-3 and echo Fat Clyde about the J.J. Cale-like guitar. It doesn’t get a whole lot better than John Hiatt, truly an American treasure. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, what the hell are you waiting for???
@John Carey "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, what the hell are you waiting for???" They've got to put Nelly, Trick Daddy, and Kendrick Lamar in there first. Ya' know, for "diversity."
I love this song and this video. I accidentally came upon part of the shoot for this. I was in Nashville for cochlear implant follow up. I watched patiently and was just in awe. After the shoot was over John and a couple of his staff came and talked with my friend and I. What a wonderful memory we made that day. Thanks again John for everything.
If the music is this good, I want to go over the hill with him. We'll leave the current musical wasteland behind and bask in sublime blues rock like this. I was happy to find an autographed copy of the LP at Barnes and Noble.
i happened to walk up on this video being recorded between vanderbilt appointments. i had take a lunch break with a friend. i just stood there in awe. when they were through, john came and talked with us about life. a great memory. a great song and one heck of a songwriter!
I just heard this on Spotify when I was in the gym. I am 58 and this song made me smile. I am growing older yes but I am not going down without a fight. Now I can't stop listening to it. Anyone calls me over the hill, I will just smile, I know better lol!
For anyone who's interested, the wonderful JJ Cale inspired guitar work is done by Yates McKendree, son of the keyboardist and producer on this album, Kevin McKendree. The kid was 16 when they cut this track! He was also the engineer on the album. Talk about talented. His dad was the longtime bandleader for Delbert McClinton.
Thanks for the info J J is my favorite musician and song writer also like Delbert being from Mobile crossed paths many times great people who and still know their craft and John is cut from the same mold
Flame on, John. Thanks for turning trouble into fuel to help others - nobility. Your good ones carry me over the worst. Your writing is among the few who have an adult mentality on what goes on between men and women, these days.
@John Hiatt 🎵 Dear Sir, I follow you from the Day you started making Music first on LP later on CD's. I myself played the Piano in small Bands, and I always tryed to see you giving Concerts either in England or Holland. I became 73 yrs in December and stil Music is the first I listen to in the Morning and all Day long. Please go on making Music so I can buy your Music, I have them all. I wish you a lot of Luck in your Life .
I also thought, "Great nod to JJ Cale". And yes, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame put this guy in it! Cant wait to see him do it live at HoB in New Orleans next month
Hey, glad to hear this, John, I dig it. Shoot, I guess I'm over the hill too. Well! So cool to have someone like you express it so well! Thanks! Just continue to enjoy doing this - PLEASE! For ALL of us!

What a brillant song...the guitarwork is just killin me... jjcale inspired and uf you listen closely, you can hear bb King as well.... what a Genius! Greetings from switzerland
I've loved this wonderful, super talented man since the 80s when I first heard Living a Little, Laughing a Little - his duet with Elvis Costello. His song writing is second to none and I love the gruffness yet purity of his voice. I hope he'll be around, singing and song writing, for many years to come. He looks so frail in this video though so I hope he's in good health.

You and me both, John Still, you're producing awesome music and long may you be over that hill cranking out quality albums Absolutely wonderful and the playing superb
Ahh this song is like a bug, one of those you can't get rid of, I might be the biggest one, I need a fifty foot woman, and a train full of bug spray..in the end ,thank God for John
John Hiatt is an Icon... This Cat has been pumping out Fantastic music for generations.. Ageless, Lipstick Sunset could've been written tomorrow. Bonnie Raitt pretty much made it because of Johns songs [ more than1 ] she made huge hits... A true Musicians Musician... Thanks Johnny.
John is always such a class act. Truly one of the great american songwriters, I've seen him 3 times & it's always a treat. I used to play a dozen of his songs, now I'm just over the hill.
@John Hiatt 🎵 John!? Thank you very much for your reply. You have to be an busy man.. Sorry I was wrong about Eclipse Sessions not winning. I sure enjoyed it.. Happy Holidays to you and your family. We, wife and I starting listening to you/your music back early 90's. Bring the Family. Love your lyrics. Good luck with Leftover Feelings you are definitely due for some national attention.
Remember the torture of "big hits" played on midis, when great guitar riffs seemed extirpated from most of the music scene? Like so many others have said, you helped rescue me from the worst times of my life, and from the doldrums of that awful "music" way back when. Thank you, sir.

I know exactly what you mean. Hugs from a fellow fan.

He just performed this on CBS Saturday Morning. 💜💜💜 I think this 67 year old black woman just fell in love.

John Carey x....yes, I, too, caught the JJ Cale tribute.....nice!
I agree 100% With his body of work, how can he not already be in the HOF?
put it OUT there get their fu##ing attention
I met John Hiatt and his band in a restaurant in Melbourne. They were so polite to me and my family.
Sad to say I've just discovered this guy. Wonderful
AMAZING lyrics. Won me over.
It’s a track that resonates with anyone 💞💞💞💞💞💞
love it , there is a country for old men
I think this is the best all-around album to come out in years.
There's more musicians than can be heard in this world, but still only a handful of great songwriters. Thank you, John Hiatt.
Twelve if you count the Accidentals ain't that the truth my friend
Are you also aware of the band The Accidentals? Might want to check them out. Different from John, but good stuff.
yes, being over the hill is pure freedom
A superb songwriter. An American voice that speaks clearly to an international audience. Massive respect from Birmingham, England.
Seconded. Time for John to come to Brum.
The petition starts here.
Same here " massive respect" for a great sound from South Derbyshire , England.
I love this song and this video. I accidentally came upon part of the shoot for this. I was in Nashville for cochlear implant follow up. I watched patiently and was just in awe. After the shoot was over John and a couple of his staff came and talked with my friend and I. What a wonderful memory we made that day. Thanks again John for everything.
Goes down like oil. Hiatt can still top his œuvre. Great craftsmanship, great art 🥰
Man I love me some John Hiatt
Nothin' to prove: JOHN HIATT, one of if not the eminent Singer-Songwriter of a generation!!! This s o n g ~ well, it swings ....
If the music is this good, I want to go over the hill with him. We'll leave the current musical wasteland behind and bask in sublime blues rock like this. I was happy to find an autographed copy of the LP at Barnes and Noble.

Bring the Family Live sound board mix recording from the tour in 87. Chicago and Santa Fe shows at my channel.
ua-cam.com/video/SwYFp09N-xM/v-deo.html
Indeed!
i agree
Yep, we know a couple that named their daughter, “Georgia Rae”
Fantastic. And the bonus J.J.Cale-like guitar picking just makes it sublime !
Every note and lyric is candy to my soul.
I saw him twice live. Great show. Even though he is well known, he deserves far more recognition. Brilliant.
I’m happy he’s still there, beautiful voice!
Excellent John Hiatt song!
I just heard this on Spotify when I was in the gym. I am 58 and this song made me smile. I am growing older yes but I am not going down without a fight. Now I can't stop listening to it. Anyone calls me over the hill, I will just smile, I know better lol!
As usual Hiatt just keeps on making the best damn music today
What a great song. John Hiatt is the gift which keeps on giving.

Thanks for that info - first time I heard this song the JJ Cale style guitar jumped through the speakers and grabbed me. What a great song.
Thanks for the info J J is my favorite musician and song writer also like Delbert being from Mobile crossed paths many times great people who and still know their craft and John is cut from the same mold
The very same Kevin Mc from the Brian Setzer Orchestra 💥
Flame on, John. Thanks for turning trouble into fuel to help others - nobility. Your good ones carry me over the worst. Your writing is among the few who have an adult mentality on what goes on between men and women, these days.
Great thanks for the words. :-)
Wicked lead guitar too. And that Hammond. This is one wonderful freakin' song!
You can never go wrong with a Hammond Organ
@@omairsh8 No you cannot!
I am still a big Fan of John Hiatt. Now he is older his Voice is raw, like that very much. I wish him well.

Fantastic John Hiatt
I'm over the hill
under the bridge
Still a few peaks and valleys
I ain't seen
You talk about love
I talk about love
I don't know any better
than to dream
I know your father's house
it has many rooms
I see the young men
sweeping up with their brooms
But, if you want me
I'm over the hill
Yeah, if you want me
I'm over the hill
I'm long in the tooth
what can I say
I take huge bites of life
and I eat the bones
The gristle and marrow
feeds my soul
Gives me the strength
to forgive all the sticks and stones
And what you see in me
you think I see too
I didn't get here
telling stories for you
But, if you want me
I'm over the hill
Yeah if you want me, baby
I'm over the hill
I hear a distant cry
A tear forms in your eye
For the way things might have been
We can't live that again
No time to fill the cup
No time to screw it up
We'll have to place our bets
On the dog with no regrets
Well time won't tell
Heaven or Hell
Time just pisses his secrets
down the stream
You talk about love
I talk about love
Sometimes I even think
we know what we mean
No band of angels
bringing peace to the streets
We wear the garments
and we shuffle our feet
But, if you want me baby
I'm over the hill, yeah
But, if you want me baby
I'm over the hill
Oh, I'm over the hill baby
I'm over the hill baby
I'm over the hill baby
Most underrated artist on the planet, right up there with Nick Lowe.
I hear ya, man. John Hiatt and his writing have meant a miner's ton to me for over three decades. He is to songwriting what Raymond Carver is to short fiction. Nicely done vid with great visual touches.
Im diggin this cut.........
Great song! Very addicting! Over the hill or not, it's SUPER!
Great song and beautiful cinematography. EXCELLENT! Am I the only one getting a mortician vibe - like the guitar case is a stand in for a casket?
Sylvan Groth
If only the good die young then John has far overstayed his welcome 😄
Up on Love Circle in Nashville.
I wish Hiatt and Dylan would make an album together! I know it will "never" happen but I can still dream.😃
metal Assassin , Dylan covered one of Johns songs 😊
u'll never be over the hill to us fans Mr Hiatt
Wow, the image of man carrying guitar, is how I got started on guitar. Traveling in my neighborhood giving free into lessons package. In the early sixties.
One of my heroes of songwriting.Love the batman building shot of Nashville in the video.
I swear, this man can do no wrong. Every song is golden.
Just heard about him from a friend...Wow love this song!!!
Robert Lussier , welcome to the genius of John Hiatt 💕
Excellent, John looks to skinny there, hope he is well. He is the best.
Awesome !! As always ! ❤
love it & so glad you're still rockin'!
