Beneath This Gruff Exterior

Beneath This Gruff Exterior is singer-songwriter John Hiatt's sixteenth album, released in 2003. It was his first album with New West Records, and it was also the only album on which backing band the Goners received front cover credit along with Hiatt (although the Goners had previously backed Hiatt on 1988's Slow Turning and 2001's The Tiki Bar Is Open). "The Most Unoriginal Sin" was first recorded by Willie Nelson on his album Across the Borderline.
