Leftover Feelings

John Hiatt, with The Jerry Douglas Band, will release "Leftover Feelings" on May 21st, 2021, via New West Records. The 11 song set was produced by Jerry Douglas and recorded at the historic RCA Studio B in Nashville, TN. A meeting of 2 American music giants in a legendary setting, "Leftover Feelings" is neither a bluegrass album nor a return to Hiatt’s 1980's days with slide guitar greats Ry Cooder and Sonny Landreth. There’s no drummer, yet these grooves are deep and true. And while the up tempo songs are, as ever, filled with delightful internal rhyme and sly aggression, The Jerry Douglas Band’s empathetic musicianship nudges Hiatt to performances that are startlingly vulnerable.

The collaboration follows Hiatt’s 2018 studio album "The Eclipse Sessions". Receiving widespread critical acclaim, The New York Times said “Hiatt still writes, as evidenced by his latest release, a collection of timeless tunes that show his unassuming mastery”, while Guitar Player called him “an artist on par with American greats such as Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Paul Simon, and Bruce Springsteen”.

Jerry Douglas is a dobro master who reinvented the instrument and is responsible for bringing it to popular presence in modern times. The Jerry Douglas Band’s 2017 studio album "What If" was nominated for a Grammy Award in the 'Best Contemporary Instrumental Album' category with Rolling Stone saying, “even after 14 Grammys, Jerry Douglas is still exploring unlikely musical pairings”.

John Hiatt with The Jerry Douglas Band’s "Leftover Feelings" will be available across digital platforms, CD and standard black vinyl. A limited to 750 edition autographed by John Hiatt and Jerry Douglas and pressed on clear and black splatter vinyl will be available exclusively at Barnes & Noble, a blue marble vinyl edition limited to 2 000 copies will be available at independent retailers worldwide, while a gold marble vinyl edition limited to 700 copies is available for preorder now via New West Records.
