Our friends at New West Records sent along this great video of John Hiatt talking about “Fireball Roberts,” a track from his latest release. The slow bluesy number finds Hiatt drawing a parallel between the late race-car driver’s professional career and a failed relationship. The video includes a special live performance by Hiatt and his band. Man, they find a mighty fine groove.
