Terms of my surrender

"Terms of My Surrender is further demonstration of this because it's blues-orientated, and the blues by this stage is definitely age-appropriate. Hiatt is in his early `60s, and it's a much more suitable medium for him than "young people's popular music". He sings most of the songs in a lower register than usual, and does so well. This record does not lack authenticity - as Keith Richards has said, blues is not learnt in a monastery, and Hiatt has certainly lived. Plus it's not as if Hiatt has suddenly jumped on the blues bandwagon - his music has always had an element of something southern about it".

"On Terms of my Surrender, Hiatt has the blues, and he's got the goods, and this is another solid chapter in a recording career that's drifted into an unexpected but pleasing renaissance".
