The Eclipse Sessions is an album by American singer-songwriter John Hiatt. It is his eighth studio release on the New West Records label.[2] The album was partly recorded in August 2017 as the solar eclipse travelled across the U.S., hence the album title.[3]

With Hiatt on lead vocals and guitar, he is joined by long-time collaborators Kenneth Blevins on drums and Patrick O'Hearn on bass. New to the team is producer and musician Kevin McKendree joining in on keyboards. McKendree has worked with Delbert McClinton, Lee Roy Parnell, Tinsley Ellis and Brian Setzer. McKendree's son Yates, who was only 16 at the time, adds lead guitar.
