Vinyl LP pressing. The Eclipse Sessions, John Hiatt's newest album, offers up his strongest set of songs in years. Long celebrated as a skilled storyteller and keen observer of life's twists and turns, Hiatt can get at the heart of a knotty emotion or a moment in time with just a sharp, incisive lyric or witty turn of phrase. The 11 tracks presented in The Eclipse Sessions, from the breezy opener quot;Cry To Me,quot; to the stark quot;Nothing In My Heart,quot; the lost-love lamentation quot;Aces Up Your Sleevequot; to the rollicking quot;Poor Imitation Of God,quot; demonstrate that the singer-songwriter, now 66, is only getting better with age, his guitar playing more rugged and rootsy, his words wiser and more wry.
