Dammit, John Hiatt, now there is something in my eye.

Didn't know this version, both versions have their own kind of power - and I'd like the song for its message even if played as a death metal version.
Old cranky, but I love the original (9/10). This one just seems like the closing scene to a bad movie.
I'm also much more fond of the original. This started at a 9... dropped to a 7.... finally wound up at a 2.
Is Hiatt still wanting a big commercial break-through or something? I think this won\'t give him that and instead it\'ll irritate his loyal following, who\'ll surely prefer his original recording of Have a Little Faith in Me.
Grow up, people. The man\'s honoring his RB influences with one of his best songs. The only thing that\'s wrong is the uptight, white drum track, and even that isn\'t horrible. 
would also prefer the original
This starts out okay, but by the time the choir kicks in, it\'s just awful. What a travesty.
Next time, play the original, from Bring the Family.

This is his song... Delbert McClinton does a nice cover of this, by the wy.
I agree, the original is better. I also like Delbert McClinton\'s version as well.
This is one of my favorite John Hiatt songs (and that's saying a lot, I'm a big fan) - but not this version. The original recording (from Bring the Family, I think), with just the simple piano line and John's expressive voice, really caught the emotions of this song. All the production frosting in this remake overwhelms the flavor.
One of those songs that, when I first heard it, went immediately to my local record store and purchased. I\'ve been a huge Hiatt fan ever since.



And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in meWhen the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try, baby
And have a little faith in meHave a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in meWhen your secret heart
Cannot speak so easilyCome here darlin'
From a whisper start
To have a little faith in meWhen your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you will see
I'll be there, I'll be there to catch your fall
So have a little faith in meHave a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me'Cause I've been loving you for such a long time, baby
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
'Cause for us there is no end
All you gotta do is have a little faith in me (Have a little faith, ooh)I will hold you up, I'm gonna hold you up
Because your love gives me strength enough
So have a little faith in me (Have a little faith)
All I want ya to do for me, babyAll ya gotta do is just to have a little bit of faith in me
(Have a little faith)Oh, you gotta choose, just to have a little faith in me
(Have a little faith)
(Faith, have a little, faith, just a little)
Have a little faith in me (Have a little faith in me)
Have a little faith in me (Have a little faith in me)
Have a little faith in me (Have a little faith in me)
Have a little faith in me (Have a little faith in me)
