This may well be a bit controversial and a minority opinion but I much prefer the music of Lily Hiatt to that of her father John.
She first came to my attention with Walking Proof which was her fourth solo album released in 2020 on New West Records. I wrote about it here. It was quickly followed by in 2021 by Lately on the same label
It is an album composed during lockdown with all that entailed and with loneliness as a recurring theme.With the exception of the last track all the songs have a single word title and it is an album which according to American Highways the simplicity belies a depth of emotions.
Folk Radio goes further stating that Lately is by far the most immediate and accessible album Lilly Hiatt’s made, packed with Top 40-friendly hooks and choruses, it’s infectiously irresistible.
Metacritic gives it 78 out of a hundred with snippets of many other favourable reviews
It's well worth a listen.
