"…one of rock’s most astute singer-songwriters of the last 40 years."
~ Los Angeles Times ~

New Album (CD, CD+DVD, LP) in July 2014

Terms of my Surrender

Long time coming
Face of God
Marlene
Wind don't have to hurry
Nobody knew his trick
Baby's gonna kick
Nothing I love
Terms of my surrender
Here to stay
Old People
Come back home

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 on recent records. Most of the album was recorded 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).
