Trinity Lane was released in the US during summer 2017 and it’s picked up widespread critical acclaim. The album is one that is deeply personal to Hiatt who says:
Hiatt says, “Love will take you to the darkest places but also the most honest places if you let it. Learning how to love myself is something Iāve always been lousy with, and I spent some time on that. I thought about my sobriety, what that means to me, the struggles Iād had throughout the years, since I was a 27-year-old and hung up my toxic drinking habit. I thought about my mother, who took her own life when I was a baby, not far from my age at 30 years old, and I related to her more than ever.
As you can see, there was plenty of time spent on my own. I didnāt talk to that many folks, albeit a few close friends, and leaned into my family. I stayed away from men, and danced alone in the evenings, looking out my window observing my humble and lively neighborhood. I found power in being by myself. I found peace in the people I was surrounded with – we didnāt really know one another, but we smiled when passed on the street. One time I almost rear-ended an older woman in her car backing out of my driveway and I said, āOh man, Iām just not used to any cars coming around this bend. She replied, āThis is our little hideout, baby,ā And it really was.” She continues, “After a while, I had all these songs to play, and wanted to share them. I wanted to get out of town to get some distance from everything, so after an ongoing conversation with Michael Trent, I took my band to Johns Island, SC and we holed up for a few weeks. I poured my heart out, and trusted them with it, and these guys gave it right back. I think we all understood what itās like to question home, intention, demons, love…I think most people understand that.”
