Exclusive: Hear John Hiatt’s New Single “We’re Alright Now”

Videos by American Songwriter

Veteran singer-songwriter John Hiatt returns with Mystic Pinball, his 21st studio album, on September 25 via New West Records. The album finds Hiatt re-teaming with Dirty Jeans And Mudslide Hymns, producer Kevin “Caveman” Shirley (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Joe Bonamassa), and features his band The Combo: Doug Lancio (electric guitar, mandolin, Dobro), Kenneth Blevins (drums and percussion) and Patrick O’Hearn (bass).

We’re excited to bring you the first single, the driving, bluesy “We’re Alright Now.”

Hiatt and his band will hit the road to support the album in August, including dates co-headlining with Steve Earle and a performance at the Americana Festival in Nashville, Tennessee. Hiatt was awarded the “Lifetime Achievement in Songwriting Award” from the Americana Music Association in 2008.
