Folk-rock singer-songwriter John Hiatt has teamed up with bluegrass great Jerry Douglas and his band for a brand-new album,
Leftover Feelings. Recorded at Nashville's historic RCA Studio B, the record is due out on May 21.
Douglas produced
Leftover Feelings, which a press release describes as "a meeting of two American music giants in a legendary setting ... [that's] neither a bluegrass album nor a return to Hiatt’s 1980s days with slide guitar greats Ry Cooder and Sonny Landreth." "Deep and true" grooves and "empathetic musicianship nudges" combine with Hiatt's "delightful internal rhyme and sly aggression" to create 11 "startlingly vulnerable" new songs.
