as some of you may have noticed, i have been on an extended hiatus from posting anything on this blog for quite some time. this was not due to any one reason, but rather a confluence of events – day job demands, website host issues, redeyegin studio renovations, etc. – that pushed me in other directions for a while. another contributing factor was lack of inspiration. although i have been listening to new music the whole time, nothing had really jumped out to me that was worthy of writing that ‘new post’ after being off the grid for so long.

enter this new collaboration from john hiatt and the innovative jerry douglas band. hiatt is one of my favorite singer/songwriters of all time, and jerry is maybe the most widely recorded bluegrass artist there is, the greatest dobro player on the planet. recorded in nashville at the famed rca studio b, it has that element of a natural bond that is hard to replicate. it comes out this friday, but i have heard enough on the radio and from videos i have found to break the ice here and get back to sharing some new music with you.

enjoy.
