John
Hiatt (nascido em 20 de agosto de 1952) é um guitarrista, pianista,
cantor e compositor americano. Desenvolveu sua carreira compondo e
tocando uma variedade de estilos musicais em seus álbuns, incluindo
rock, new wave, blues e country. Hiatt foi nomeado para vários prêmios
Grammy e premiado em uma variedade de outras distinções na indústria da
música. Ele continua sendo um dos cantores e compositores americanos
mais respeitados e influentes de todos os tempos.
Em 1973, Hiatt estava trabalhando como compositor para Tree International, uma gravadora em Nashville, quando a banda Three Dog Night fez um cover da sua canção “Sure As I'm Sittin’ Here”. A canção atingiu a posição #16 na Billboard em 1974, garantindo a Hiatt um contrato com a gravadora Epic Records. Desde então, ele já lançou mais de vinte álbuns de estúdio, dois álbuns de coletâneas e um álbum ao vivo.
Em 1974, lançou a música “Hangin 'Around The Observatory”, que apesar de ser um sucesso de crítica, foi um fracasso comercial. Um ano depois, lançou “Overcoats”, mas como também não foi uma canção bem sucedida comercialmente, a Epic optou por romper o seu contrato. Nos quatro anos seguintes, ele seguiu sem qualquer contrato de gravação e durante este tempo, seu estilo evoluiu de country rock para a nova onda rock, influenciado pelo estilo de Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe e Graham Parker.
Mais tarde, em 1979, Hiatt fechou um contrato com a gravadora MCA. Ele lançou dois álbuns – “Slug Line" (1979) e “Two Bit Monsters” (1980) - nenhum deles atingindo o esperado sucesso comercial. Apesar disso, recebeu aclamações vindas de críticos na Holanda. Assim, foi convidado e tocou na famosa casa de shows Paradiso em Amsterdam pela primeira vez em 1979, retornando com frequência, construindo uma sólida base de fãs. Em 1982, "Across The Borderline", escrito por ele, juntamente com Ry Cooder e Jim Dickinson, apareceu na trilha sonora do filme "The Border" (lançado no Brasil como “Fronteiras Da Violência”, estrelado por Jack Nicholson), cantada pelo texano Freddy Fender. A canção mais tarde apareceu em versões de álbuns de Willie Nelson, Paul Young, Ruben Blades e Willy DeVille, entre outros, bem como em covers feitos por Bruce Springsteen e Bob Dylan, ao vivo. Hiatt assinou com a gravadora Geffen (que viria a absorver a MCA) em 1982, onde gravou três álbuns entre 1982 e 1985.
Hiatt finalmente conheceu a glória em 1987, quando lançou seu primeiro grande sucesso, “Bring The Family”. Nesse álbum, Hiatt tinha uma banda de apoio composta por Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe e Jim Keltner. A maioria das canções do álbum já havia sido extensivamente lançada por outros artistas, especialmente “Have a Little Faith in Me," em versões covers cantadas por Joe Cocker, Delbert McClinton, Jewel, Bill Frisell, Mandy Moore e Bon Jovi e "Memphis In The Meantime", apresentadas por Carl Perkins, e Gregg Allman. "Thank You Girl" era um hit moderado nas rádios, mas nada que pudesse dar a Hiatt uma grande atenção nacional. Após “Bring The Familly”, Hiatt teve uma sequência de nove álbuns de estúdio incluídos na Billboard Top 200. Em 1989, o cover da canção escrita por Hiatt, "Angel Eyes", lançada por The Jeff Healey Band, alcançou o Top 5 da Billboard Hot 100.
Em 1994, Hiatt lançou “Hiatt Comes Alive At Budokan?”, seu primeiro álbum ao vivo oficial. Hiatt recebeu sua primeira indicação ao Grammy em 1995 por seu álbum “Walk On”. Os álbuns seguintes de Hiatt nunca alcançaram grande sucesso nas paradas, mas mesmo assim ele viu pouca mudança na sua base de fãs até o final dos anos 1990, indicando uma sequência bem definida e específica. Em 1999, a cantora / compositora holandesa Ilse DeLange gravou o álbum “Dear John” com nove de suas canções.
Em 2000, Hiatt lançou seu primeiro álbum independente pela gravadora Vanguard Records, “Crossing Muddy Waters”, trazendo uma grande influência de “bluegrass” em sua música. Mais tarde nesse ano, ele foi nomeado compositor / artista do ano no Nashville Music Awards. Em 2001, “Crossing Muddy Waters” foi nomeado para um Grammy de Melhor Álbum Folk Contemporâneo, com Davey Faragher e David Immergluck como seus únicos acompanhantes. Um CD e DVD de sua apresentação ao vivo no Austin City Limits foi lançado em 2005.
Em 2014, Hiatt lançou seu 22º álbum de estúdio, “Terms Of My Surrender”, mostrando que continua ativo e produzindo novas canções.
Suas canções tiveram versões covers feitas por uma variedade de artistas em vários gêneros, incluindo Bob Dylan, The Searchers, Delbert McClinton, Willy DeVille, Ry Cooder, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, BB King, Joe Bonamassa, Willie Nelson, Three Dog Night, Joan Baez, Paula Abdul, Buddy Guy, The Desert Rose Band, Jimmy Buffett, Mandy Moore, Iggy Pop, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Rosanne Cash, Suzy Bogguss, Jewel, Aaron Neville, Jeff Healey, Keith Urban, Joe Cocker, Chaka Khan, Paulini e muitos outros.
