Cowboy Jack, Hiatt, TBT offer new sounds
Clement, who died in August 2013, was a well-known as a writer and singer. He wrote "Ballad of a Teenage Queen," a hit for Johnny Cash. He produced albums by Townes Van Zandt and Waylon Jennings. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame last year. "For Once & For All" features collaborations between Clement and John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Bobby Bare, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, Rodney Crowell, Dierks Bentley and the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach. Executive producer T Bone Burnett played guitar on the disc, which was recorded in March 2013.
Hiatt releases "Terms of My Surrender." This is the Indiana native's 22nd studio album 40 years into his recording career. Longtime guitarist Doug Lancio (Patty Griffin, Jack Ingram) produced the 11-song release, which features Hiatt on acoustic guitar.
TBT is out with "Wild Animals," a different affair musically for the heretofore raucous bluegrass-based band out of Duluth, Minn. They tone it down and go for texture here. This is the band's seventh studio release since forming in 2003.
