John Hiatt wrote "Have a Little Faith in Me" by himself for his 1987 album Bring the Family, and it's the quiet heart of that record: a plain, open-palmed plea for trust. The backing is a small band of heavy hitters, Ry Cooder on electric guitar, Nick Lowe on bass and Jim Keltner on drums, and they know when to lay out and let the song breathe.

It has had a long second life on film, turning up in Benny & Joon, Phenomenon, Look Who's Talking Now and a string of others, and Hiatt has kept it on every greatest hits set he's put out, including a live take on Hiatt Comes Alive at Budokan? in 1994.
