American singer-songwriter John Hiatt entered the heartland rock scene in the early 1970s when Sure as I'm Sitting Here, a song he'd written for record label Tree International, was covered by Three Dog Night. He would go on to achieve more personal recognition with the title track from his 1987 album,
Bring the Family
. Though Hiatt is a prolific performer with 22 studio albums to his credit, his influence can be clearly seen in fellow artists like
Bonnie Raitt
and The Jeff Healey Band, who have had great success with Hiatt-penned cover tracks Thing Called Love and Angel Eyes, respectively. His sound contains elements of folk rock and Americana, eschewing a traditional country-western vibe for a more authentic, soulful musical experience. Over a career spanning nearly five decades, Hiatt's many notable accolades include nine Grammy nominations and the 2000 Nashville Music Award for Songwriter/Artist of the Year.
Smashing a Perfectly Good Guitar
Born in Indianapolis in 1952, Hiatt turned to music at an early age in an effort to cope with a series of troubling childhood events. He began playing the guitar at age 11, performing in local clubs while he was still a teenager. At 18, he moved to Nashville, where he began his songwriting career for the Tree-Music Publishing Company. His first few albums were well-received critically, but he wouldn't chart a top 10 single until 1988 with the title track from
Slow Turning
, which was also the first of Hiatt's albums to reach the upper half of the
Billboard
200. Notable live performances include a 2008 double act with
Lyle Lovett
at the
National Arts Centre
in Ottawa, Canada, and an appearance at
Ravinia Park
in Highland Park, Illinois, with his daughter, Lily, that same year. Hiatt's latest album,
The Eclipse Sessions
, was recorded in part during the solar eclipse in August 2017 and released in 2018.
