Hiatt attributes the title phrase to a comment an old friend once made in reference to burning the candles at both ends for years saying he was “trying to negotiate the terms of my surrender” and according to the Wall Street Journal “The spare, bluesy song emphasizes Hiatt’s craggy voice and mordant wit.” Terms Of My Surrender is due out July 15, 2014 via New West Records. A deluxe edition will be available in the U.S. exclusively via Amazon.com, featuring a bonus DVD of 10-songs filmed live in 2013 at Hiatt's hometown venue, the historic Franklin Theatre in Franklin, Tenn. Along with his band The Combo, Hiatt performs some of his biggest and most beloved songs, including “Crossing Muddy Waters,” “Thing Called Love,” “Have A Little Faith In Me" as well as several new ones. For the new album production Hiatt had the notion of focusing on his vocals and guitar. Producer Doug Lancio (Patty Griffin, Jack Ingram) agreed and recorded much of the album with the full band (Lancio, Nathan Gehri, Kenneth Blevins, Brandon Young) in the room, live from the floor.

    JOHN HIATT RETURNS WITH THE ECLIPSE SESSIONS ​ OCTOBER 12th, 2018 VIA NEW WEST RECORDS ROLLING STONE COUNTRY PREMIERES “CRY TO ME” TODAY THE ECLIPSE SESSIONS TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED ​ John Hiatt is set to return with The Eclipse Sessions on October 12th, 2018 via New West ​ Records. The 11-track set is the Grammy nominated legend’s first new album in four years. It was produced by Kevin McKendree (Delbert McClinton) and features Hiatt’s longtime drummer Kenneth Blevins and bassist Patrick O’Hearn, as well as Yates McKendree (Kevin’s then 16-year old wunderkind son, who also engineered). Hiatt places The Eclipse Sessions in a lineage ​ alongside two of his greatest works -- 1987’s mainstream breakthrough Bring the Family, which ​ ​ sprung from an impulsive four-day session with an all-star combo led by Ry Cooder, and 2000’s Crossing Muddy Waters, an unplanned and largely unplugged effort that garnered a Grammy ​ Award nomination and also set Hiatt on the rootsier path he’s still pursuing today. “The three albums are very connected in my mind,” Hiatt says. “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.” Since the release of Hiatt’s 1974 debut, Hangin’ Around the Observatory, rarely has more than a ​ ​ year or two passed without a new collection hitting the shelves.

  • John Hiatt Fanzine – Issue 13
    Slow Turning John Hiatt Fanzine – Issue 13 What’s This? On a very chilly, very, very early morning sometime in the late fall of 1993, my mother and I ventured into the heart of Boston to sit outside a box office. We’d seen in the paper that John Hiatt would be coming in support of his latest CD, Perfectly Good Guitar. Tickets were going on sale at 10 AM. I had just become a big enough fan and old enough, at thirteen, to demand that I was going to buy the best tickets possible, but not old enough to spend hours by myself in the theater district. As the sun came up around the sky-scrapers and fellow die-hards gathered to wait for the magic hour the window would open, all we had to entertain ourselves was maybe a newspaper and conversation with the other fans eager for tickets. I chatted non-stop, thrilled to be surrounded by people who seemed to love John Hiatt’s music as much as I did. Most people in my high school didn’t even know who he was by name and couldn’t relate to my fandom. I’m sharing this memory of this day because it was not only the birth of Slow Turning: John Hiatt Fanzine but, I think, illustrates just how much the world has changed since I first started this project. Back then, there were no online forums for conversations between followers of the same artists. There was no way for news to travel from artist to fan except by paper mailings; the In the John fanclub had become defunct.

  • John Hiatt Terms of My Surrender (New West Records)
    JOHN HIATT TERMS OF MY SURRENDER (NEW WEST RECORDS) Forty years into his recording career, John Hiatt has chosen to title his 22nd studio album, Terms of My Surrender. Surrender? Is that as in Cheap Trick? Or Appomattox? Hiatt laughs, tentatively, at the choice. “It’s my Appomattox,” he says, wryly. “Really I don’t know where it came from, that idea of trying to arrange the terms of my surrender. I don’t get to do that. It’s a labor in vain in that respect, if you think you can negotiate that with anyone, or anything. In reference to the title song, it’s in terms of love. You’ve got to give it up. The song says, ‘I can’t negotiate the terms.’” That’s an essence, perhaps the essence, of the 11 songs here, the 11 stories they tell and, together perhaps, one story. Always a keen observer of life’s flings and foibles alike, usually mixed well together, Hiatt’s insights and skills at sharing them have only sharpened over the year. With his longtime guitarist Doug Lancio taking the producer reins, Hiatt set out to bring the songs’ character (and characters) into intimate focus. There’s a close-up, patina-festooned bluesy quality tying the tales together. But it’s blues in the knotty backwoods sense, as if sprung from the Delta loam. It’s completely a band effort, his current group, which he calls simply the Combo, a tight-yet-loose unit from years together on the road — Lancio on guitars, banjo and mandolin, Nathan Gehri on bass, Kenneth Blevins on drums, with keyboards from John Coleman on some of the tracks.

  • For Immediate Release ESTEEMED TROUBADOUR JOHN HIATT TO
    For Immediate Release ESTEEMED TROUBADOUR JOHN HIATT TO RELEASE TERMS OF MY SURRENDER JULY 15 RELEASE ON NEW WEST RECORDS UPCOMING PERFORMANCE AT NEW ORLEANS JAZZ & HERITAGE FESTIVAL DATES WITH ROBERT CRAY AND THE TAJ MAHAL TRIO Nashville, TN – April 1, 2014 – John Hiatt, who the Los Angeles Times calls “…one of rock’s most astute singer-songwriters of the last 40 years,” will release his new album, Terms Of My Surrender, on July 15, 2014 via New West Records. Hiatt, a master lyricist and satirical storyteller, weaves hidden plot twists into fictional tales ranging in topics including redemption, relationships, growing older and surrendering, on his terms. The new record is musically rooted in acoustic blues, accentuated by Hiatt’s soulful, gritty voice, which mirrors the gravity of his reflective lyrics. For Terms Of My Surrender, Hiatt turned to his longtime guitarist Doug Lancio (Patty Griffin, Jack Ingram) to produce. Though Hiatt initially picked up an electric guitar on day one of recording, Lancio challenged him to play acoustic instead, which set the tone and mood for the whole process. Hiatt even plays harmonica on the album, which he hasn’t done in several years. They recorded most of the album off the floor as if in a live setting, which was fitting since the band in the studio was Hiatt’s exceptional touring band (Lancio, Nathan Gehri, Kenneth Blevins, and Brandon Young). Hiatt and his band, The Combo, will appear at the 2014 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival before a full summer tour. Hiatt’s songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt (“Thing Called Love”), Emmylou Harris, Iggy Pop, Rosanne Cash (#1 country hit, “The Way We Make A Broken Heart”), the Jeff Healey Band (“Angel Eyes”), and even the cartoon bear band of Disney’s film, The Country Bears.
