2018. Roots; The 11-track set is the Grammy nominated legends first new album in four years. It was produced by Kevin McKendree (Delbert McClinton) and features Hiatts longtime drummer Kenneth Blevins and bassist Patrick OHearn, as well as Yates McKendree (Kevins 17-year old wunderkind son, who also engineered). Hiatt places The Eclipse Sessions in a lineage alongside two of his greatest works -- 1987s mainstream breakthrough Bring the Family, which sprung from an impulsive four-day session with an all-star combo led by Ry Cooder, and 2000s Crossing Muddy Waters, an unplanned and largely unplugged effort that garnered a Grammy Award nomination and also set Hiatt on the rootsier path hes 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 didnt know where I was going when I started out on any of them. And each one wound up being a pleasant surprise." See it HERE. Rolling Stone Country previously premiered the albums lead off t
