The Eclipse Sessions
The Eclipse Sessions is the 25th album (and second live album) by American singer-songwriter John Hiatt. It is also his eighth effort with New West Records.[1] The album was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, in August 2017 as the solar eclipse travelled across the U.S., hence the album title.
