Saw him one time at a gig on solo piano, it was pouring rain outside, he opened the show with a 30 minute intro into the "Mandolin Rain"....blew my mind...it was cross between bluegrass meets jazz. The best on piano, no doubt a master on two handed independence..

guitar solos on the studio version are amazing

@pianobob1966 By the way, I have another version of this song, also played by Bruce and his band, which sounds great , but I have to say that the piano solo played here is simply AWESOME!!

@pianobob1966 ...guess i would say I agree with you....I also like Chick Corea very much...

@PumpkinLIps you are so right, it's a sinister song. I imagine the wife dancing with her husband on the dance hall floor at the wedding. A beautiful moment changed to fear when she looks over to see the Country Doctor staring at her from a dark corner of the room.

Country Doctor is such a dark song. It's so funny that they play it occasionally at Stop and Shop.

I'm a huge fan of Mr. Hornsby, but he certainly is not the best player ever. But i love his style though.

Billy Powell Of Lynyrd Skynyrd......Bruce is really Great .

@pianobob1966 - actually Lyle Mays is the best piano player that has ever lived but Bruce is good.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRUCE!!!!!!!! (and hoo too)
I've been playing piano for 35 years. I've had many many influences and favorites. I've played countless gigs.
That being said....Bruce Hornsby is the single greatest, best ever piano player that ever lived. Period. There is no debate needed here. My 35 years of playing qualifies me to declare that Mr. Hornsby IS the best piano player that EVER LIVED.

Ther are dozens of brilliant pianists out there. Few can claim to me so original. Thanks for sharing this.
