John Hiatt's The Tiki Bar Is Open was originally released in 2001 on Vanguard Records. In 2012 New West acquired the rights to the album and re-released it on compact disc. Now, 20 years later, The Tiki Bar Is Open is being released on stand alone vinyl LP for the very first time! With complex characters, artful lyrics, pointed hooks and haunting melodies, The Tiki Bar Is Open is another entry in Hiatt's long line of classic albums. Yet his performances on each track proves that ultimately, they are distinctly his own. Hiatt's voice, raw and playful on "Everybody Went Low," or hushed and repentant on "Come Home To You," is able to bring all these songs, in all their diversity, to life.
