Perfectly Good Guitar, John Hiatt's eleventh album, came out on A&M in 1993 with Matt Wallace producing, and it turned out to be the highest-charting record he had made, reaching number 47 in the US and doing even better in the Netherlands and Sweden. It was also his last studio album for the label.
This is Hiatt with the amps turned up, a rock record from a songwriter who had long bounced between new wave, blues and country, and the title track has kept a place on the countdowns. Among the songs is Something Wild, which Iggy Pop had put out first on Brick by Brick in 1990. Hiatt took the album on the road for a tour that ran 13 months.
