LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

John Hiatt All Of A Sudden CDLEM23 Following the success of his sold-out tour of the UK and Europe in November and December of last year, Lemon Recordings is proud to release “All of a Sudden”, John Hiatt’s seminal 1982 solo album - produced by the legendary Tony Visconti (of David Bowie and Marc Bolan Fame). The sound of this album encompasses all that was great about eighties music. The two best-known and loved tracks are the opener, “I look for love” and “My Edge of the Razor” which is rated as one of the finest songs ever written by the artist. Hiatt’s career has spanned over 30 years and his songs have been covered by the likes of Bob Dylan, Rick Nelson, Searchers, Iggy Pop, Bonnie Raitt and Dr. Feelgood to name but a few. He is without a doubt one of music’s most respected singer/songwriters of his time, and this album belongs in the record collection of every eighties music lover. "Hiatt's gift for melody and sneering vocal delivery mae the Costello comparisons that characterised his early career more than mere hype."
