Hosts Jesse Jackson and Sylvan Groth are joined by all-star Perfectly Good Podcast guest and superfan Nick Brown to discuss the title track from John Hiatt's 2010 album, The Open Road.

As we explore the lyrical themes of hopelessness, resilience, and the complex desire for both home and the road, we wonder about the heroine of this story and whether she may appear in other songs.

Special thanks to Lightning 100, Nashville's independent radio for their interview with John Hiatt, which we have sampled. Be sure to check out the full version, which is part of the "Open Road" playlist on our youtube channel.

While "One Stiff Breeze" does not fit the typical mold of this great singer-songwriter's work, it provides lots of questions for our hosts. Is it a completely different expreience when you read only the verses? Why is the title hidden at the end? Who is John Hiatt telling "I love you?"
