”At 68, Hiatt is producing some of the best work of his career, mapping his inner life with an eloquence that most can only aspire to.” 8 out of 10 Stars, Americana Album of the Month - Uncut Magazine

"Hiatt remains at the top of his game at age 68, his unvarnished tenor still a fount of wit and wisdom, while Douglas and his crack combo elevate the already charming melodies and buttress the rustic grooves." - The Associated Press

"...an outstanding album." 4 out of 5 Stars - American Songwriter

"As John Hiatt reflects on memory, loss, and desire, the Jerry Douglas Band's marvelous playing leads to one of the best albums of the year." 8 out of 10 Stars - PopMatters

"It’s a classy, frequently moving, always provocative collaboration and one of Hiatt’s finest efforts which, considering his extensive catalog, is saying plenty." - Holler 

"The space (RCA Studio B) remains nearly identical to how it was originally built, and its specific quality is felt throughout Leftover Feelings, an album sonically in its own league thanks to the winning combination of Hiatt’s stellar vocals and lyricism, and Douglas’ thoughtful and innovative instrumentals." - Paste Magazine

"The pairing of these iconic musicians is true cause for celebration, which has bluegrass, folk, country and Americana enthusiasts eager to hear the results." -Relix Magazine

"The project itself was recorded at the historic RCA Studio B in Nashville. As seen on videos of the recording in progress, the camaraderie, good times and shared good humor were palpable. You'll find them catching." - The Wall Street Journal

”A match made in heaven” - Holler

"Mr. Hiatt is an example of an artist who's at his creative peak nearly 50 years since he released his debut album. One of the best albums of 2021 So Far" -The Christian Science Monitor

"A match made in musical heaven... Leftover Feelings leaves no feelings behind, steering us through the heights of joy, the depths of sadness, the anxiety of ambivalence, and the vagaries and rewards of love." - Folk Alley

"The Douglas-Hiatt pairing doesn’t just work – it excels brilliantly. Count this as Hiatt’s best recording since 2008’s Same Old Man." - Glide Magazine 

"The settings in Leftover Feelings, recorded live in Nashville's historic RCA Studio B, find the middle ground between wisdom and cleverness, country and bluegrass, making these performances some of the finest in Hiatt's 50-year career... a beautifully unsettling gem." - Acoustic Guitar Magazine

"...a perfect match." One of the Best Albums of 2021 So Far - Spectrum Culture

"The stories are compelling, and the tone is always right. This is some of the strongest wori of Hiatt's career, and that's saying a lot." - Lyric Magazine
