Product description

In 1988, John Hiatt, already a seasoned musician at 36, delivered his ninth studio album, "Slow Turning," a masterful blend of Americana, roots rock, country rock, and alt-country that showcases his songwriting prowess and musical versatility. Recorded at Ronnie Milsap's Groundstar Labs in Nashville, Tennessee, between May 20 and June 6, 1988, the album is a testament to Hiatt's ability to craft compelling narratives and memorable melodies.

"Slow Turning" is perhaps best known for its title track, which became Hiatt's only significant radio hit, but the entire album is a treasure trove of rich, evocative songs. From the opening track "Drive South" to the closing notes of "Feels Like Rain," Hiatt takes listeners on a journey through the American landscape, exploring themes of love, loss, and the human condition. Each song is a story, told with Hiatt's distinctive voice and backed by a blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation that gives the album its unique sound.

The album's tracklist includes standout songs like "Trudy And Dave," "Icy Blue Heart," and "Georgia Rae," each offering a glimpse into Hiatt's world. "Sometime Other Than Now" and "Is Anybody There?" delve into introspective themes, while "Ride Along" and "Paper Thin" showcase Hiatt's knack for blending rock and country elements. The album's duration of 48 minutes ensures that each song has room to breathe, allowing Hiatt's storytelling to shine.

"Slow Turning" was released under the A&M label and has since become a beloved album among fans of Americana and roots rock. Whether you're a longtime John Hiatt fan or new to his music, "Slow Turning" is an essential listen, offering a rich tapestry of sound and storytelling that captures the essence of American music.

This 2018 Reissue LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

Heartstring-Tugging Blue Collar Anthems
3 out of 5 stars

Picture the tough job of giving a young'un an example of American blue collar pop music that's pretty much perfect (maybe lacking just one truly amazing single) but is jam-packed with brilliantly made songs and lyrics that'll tug at your heartstrings. That's this album right there. Pair it with Elvis Costello's "King of America" and you've got yourself one heck of a party.
Perfect Blue Collar Pop
3 out of 5 stars
tsitwodghermSeptember 10, 2024United States🇺🇸
Picture the near-impossible job of giving a youngster an instance of American blue collar pop music that's practically faultless (maybe except for lacking a truly exceptional single track), stuffed with brilliantly made melodies and heart-wrenchingly good lyrics. This is it. Pair this record with Elvis Costello's "King of America" LP and you've got yourself one heck of a party.
