Stolen Moments was singer-songwriter John Hiatt's tenth album, released in 1990. It was his highest charting solo album upon its release, peaking at No. 61. Joan Baez later covered "Through Your Hands" on her 1992 album Play Me Backwards, and David Crosby covered it on his 1993 record Thousand Roads. Don Henley's version reached No. 33 on the US Billboard charts and appeared in the film Michael. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band covered "The Rest of the Dream" on a 1990 album of the same title. Ilse DeLange recorded "Child of the Wild Blue Yonder" on her live album Dear John.

One song had actually been previously recorded by another artist several months before Hiatt's version was issued on this album. Earl Thomas Conley had a country hit with "Bring Back Your Love to Me"; it was issued as a single in February 1990 and reached No. 11 on both the US and Canadian country charts.
