John Hiatt, Ramsay Midwood

Four years between albums isn’t atypical unless you’re John Hiatt. The Indiana songwriter’s 23rd LP, The Eclipse Sessions, arrives behind his longest stretch between releases since the Seventies as an eclectic, easy-grooving mix. Touring acoustic, Hiatt, 66, strips down his incomparable catalogue for an intimate evening. Ramsay Midwood choogles out from Sam’s Town Point to open. – Doug Freeman
