More Info:

John Hiatt's sixth album is, in his own words, "the first album where I really put it all together." And boy, did he! Hiatt's country-fried, blues-dipped rock n roll is perfect here, with each track pure style and swagger. Produced half by Scott Mathews and half by Ron angle, this set of 12 tracks is a cult classic and one of the greatest rock albums of the '80s.

Reviews:

''Riding with the King'' was singer-songwriter John Hiatt's sixth album, released in 1983. It was his second of three albums with Geffen Records. Ron Nagle and Scott Mathews (credited as "Scott Matthews") produced side one of the album at The Pen in San Francisco, with Mathews himself playing all instruments (except guitar) and all the background vocals. The second side of the album was produced by Nick Lowe at Eden Studios in London with a group of crack pub rock musicians backing Hiatt. The album's title track was taken from an odd dream Scott Mathews had (although he was never credited as a co-writer) and would later be covered by B.B. King and Eric Clapton on their album of the same name. - Wikipedia
