I doubt I've ever heard a song driven better by the drum beat than
"Mississippi." It just moves things along. At first, I thought Jim Keltner, the
best drummer I ever heard, might still be playing.

But it's not him. And if you read to the bottom of the link and get to the John
Hiatt and "All in the Family" album, if you ain't got it, get it. It's one of
my all-time favorites. It's not happy, but it's good.
