He's a great musician and songwriter, and his band is great, to boot. Kids nowadays have absolutely no clue. They'll eat whatever chocolate covered cotton that's dished up.
I had the same last name growing up and the kids and everyone I ever met had many ways to make fun of that last name. Bizz Bizz Buzzing Buisy Bee. and then they played Horns part to. and left out the (n) I was relieved when I got married. Now that I am divorced I have no desire to go back to that last name again so I keep my married name.
i couldn't agree with Bruce more when he said that some of the best music made goes right under the mainstream radar..so true in his case..i can never understand why he isn't more popular, i have about half a dozen of his albums, and apart from halcyon days, which never really grabbed me, some of his music is really top notch stuff....it's a pity he never did any music videos too, I'd also love to see him live but from what i can tell, he is pretty much based in the USA, the UK is missing out..

Bruce has got to be the most sublimely talented pianist and bandleader working in Rock today!! His level of technical virtuosity is astounding -- and yet that virtuosity is basically dwarfed by the gorgeousness of his chords and phrasing of the lead lines! I find what flows from his mind through his fingers to be almost unbearably beautiful most of the time and I often find tears welling up in my eyes! That is astounding for someone who rarely cries!
@OHmygodXoBil3 agreed but the are more youngsters out there (actually all bieber fans are online as we speak lol) while bruces`s fans are probably not... btw it is 60,055 views now but I guess it is a billion views for that bieber dude! actually that hype reminds of the hype around the beatles only that the people went crazy were a bit older and that it was way before I was born. how many views would have the beatles gotten back then? probably as many...
@evilweazel b hornsby and the range debut album is a masterpiece, the second and third albums are also very very good, after that he went in a different musical direction more of an adult contemporary focus which sometimes mean decreased sales, but good music none the less.
Talk about the most under appreciated musician ever...Why again was The Way it Is the only album that got due credit? Granted it was his best, but everything he's done since has been on par. All popular artists do anymore are remix/remake/covers, and people wonder why *I* listen to 'old' music! It takes a nation of fools to actually listen and accept what's super-popular today as music
(from another liberal named Ian, btw...) Have you heard his latest with Christian McBride and Brian Blades? It's very adventurous, and more straight ahead jazz than anything (but still recognizable -- great version of Solar in his own style, and of course the title track "Camp Meeting"). The only complaint I tended to have about the radio hits was that they featured good songwriting, but they didn't give his piano style -- those big open chords and beautiful rolling pentatonic scales -- time.
Yes! Little funky, cool stuff though, showed previous strength for the instrumental not only in portions of his regular songs but of course in 'Song F' on Halcyon Days.
'Camp Meeting was my favorite track, mellow, but deep. Can't wait for whatever comes next! Saw him in Charlottsville VA a couple summers ago
75K since that comment of 26,472.... go see him live. I did in 2011. Mind blowing show~~~!~~~!!!~~

But also maybe one of the best technical musicians.

Hothouse is arguably his best album, with the uneven but brillianht Spirit Trail a close second.
Bruce Hornsby is definately a musician's musician - talented with GREAT songs.
