Hiatt John

"Slug Line" was singer-songwriter John Hiatt's third album, released in 1979. Adding reggae and rhythm 'n' blues to the stew, Hiatt delivered a rawer and meaner<br/>album, establishing him as an original and creative singer-songwriter. Confidently flirting with reggae on "Madonna Road',* pop on "Radio Girl',* rockabilly on "You Used To Kiss The Girls" and r&b on "Washable Ink',*

Hiatt själv placerar "The Eclipse Sessions" vid sidan om två av sina bästa album - 1987 år "Bring the Family" (med Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe och Jim Keltner) och "Crossing Muddy Waters" från 2000. "The three albums are very connected in my mind", säger Hiatt. "They all have a vibe to them that was unexpected. I didn't know where I was going when I started out on any of them. And each one wound up being a pleasant surprise."

'Slow Turning' was singer-songwriter John Hiatt's ninth album. Hiatt is one of the few artists with the energy of a Detroit rock and roller and the authority of a Memphis country and blues artist. The album became a hit factory for others like, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Ilse DeLange, Suzy Bogguss, and Aaron Neville among the many who made 'Slow Turning's songs their own. His Louisiana quartet, the Goners, spearheaded by slide guitar innovator Sonny Landreth, made each hot tune ("Drive South," "Tennessee Plates") crack like a whip and "Feels Like Rain" is a soulful wail against the heat and a sensual serenade, all wrapped up in lyrics that send you to the Deep South summer under a tin roof.

På "Terms Of My Surrender" närmar John Hiatt sig den akustiska bluesen och kombinationen med Hiatts själfulla, behagligt rossliga röst är perfekt. <br/><br/>"Terms Of My Surrender" är producerad av Hiatts gitarrist Doug Lancio (Patty Griffin, Jack <br/>Ingram). Hans första åtgärd var att övertala Hiatt att byta ut den elektriska gitarren mot en akustiskt, vilket satte tonen för hela inspelningen. Hiatt spelar till och med munspel på plattan, vilket hann inte gjort på flera år. Merparten är inspelat live i studion, en naturlig följs av att jobba med ´det väl inkörda turnébandet.<br/><br/>John Hiatt har gett ett drygt 20-tal album sedan debuten 1974 och han har genomgående hållit en förbluffande hög kvalitet som sångare och låtskrivare. "Terms Of My Surrender" är inget undantag!
