Any one else here a fan? I finally got around to picking up his Greatest Radio Hits. It's a fairly good compilation AND sounds great too!!! I've seen Bruce in concert twice and wish he'd come back to the area soon. There's just something about a good rockin' song that utilizes so much piano. That's probably why i like Marc Cohn so much as well. Guitars are great, but a master behind the piano can REALLY ROCK.

I first encountered Bruce during the 1996 further festival. Have loved his work ever since.

Mr. Hornsby as even branched out into the field of jazz with his latest release Camp Meeting on the Legacy label. The recording is straight ahead piano trio date with Jack DeJohnette (drums) and Christian McBride (bass) joining Hornsby. In spite of the fact that Hornsby as spend most, if not all, of his musical career playing rock music, he acquits himself rather nicely and has produced a very listenable and quite enjoy jazz recording.

I've been a fan since his first release...I have most of his stuff.

I'm a great Hornsby fan, I've seen him three times in concert. he always does a terrific show, very engaging, takes requests plays for 3+ hours.

Intersections 1985-2005 is an outstanding collection, four CD's and a DVD.

Agreed!

I heard Bruce played piano on Marc's Walking in memphis song. Not sure about any other tracks/albums though.

I've seen him a couple of times as well. Amazing musician and showman. What's even more amazing is that he didn't even start playing piano till he was 17 yrs. old.

I like the request thing too, even though it is total showbiz schtick. When I saw him, he had everybody write down their requests. That way he could look at them, and play the stuff he was going to play anyway...

Still great shows though.

I saw him a few times when he played with the Dead back in the early nineties. Man he and the Dead went well together.

I'll have to give this compilation a try.

BTW, I forgot how much I loved The Valley Road. What a great song! And a message to boot!

One of the most underrated musicians of our time. The guy is the whole package. His versatility shown on Camp Meeting is astonishing.

 

[Dr.Love]

Here Come The Noise Makers is a good time.

He played with the Grateful Dead at time as well. Good all around musician.

I loved "The way it is" and didn't even know about him playing on "Walking in Memphis" wich I allso like.

 

[tako_tsubo]

Yeah have most of his CD's and you gotta luv those free downloads he had over Christmas time...

 

[Ogdoaden]

Found him when listening to "China Doll" from "Harbor Lights" by a chance and just loved the drum sound. Branched out from there and I'm now a fan, and mind you, this was as late as a couple of months ago. 
 
It sure is fun discovering great musicians.
 
Cheers!

Simply a great musician, singer and songwriter!
