He's very well respected among other musicians.... but does not get enough respect and love from the general public. He's an amazing and true artist.

[@mikemaricle9941]

He was a guest member of the Grateful Dead for several years also.

[@jackie_jrml]

Agreed!!!!

[@kathleenmurphy6220]

I be totally agree. I’ve never heard a bad song from him.😊

[@Wolverines77]

There are thousands upon thousands of artists out there. Several hundred really, really good ones. Bruce has not had a hit in, what, 30 some odd years. Just stop, everyone loves Bruce when they are reminded by hearing one of songs. Can you say "underrated" without actually saying "underrated"? Pfffftttt

[@MsMommyoffive5]

💯

[@ceebee9711]

Bruce had a prominent piano role on Don Henley's "The End of the Innocence". He also co-wrote the song. Check it out.

[@MrLedotson]

Mr. Henley will block it, but it's a great song.

[@ceebee9711]

​@@MrLedotson Way to build a new fanbase, Don.

[@dustinjones8887]

Yep. Bruce (along with his brother John) also wrote Jacob's Ladder that Huey Lewis had a hit with. I think he gave to Huey as a thank you for discovering him.

I always loved how prominent the piano is in Hornsby’s music. Front and center. He’s such a talent.

[@buckshotjenkins]

Tasty/melodic authority on the piano. So intentional, that to a non-piano player like me he sounds markedly different from everyone else I’ve heard. He’s so awesome.

Why the past tense? Did Bruce die recently?

[@kmach1000]

His piano is unmistakable!

[@PaulAshley]

Just this week learned that one for guitar. A fantastic tune.

[@mikenolan7970]

My sister’s company managed Bruce for several years. I got to meet him once and he fist bumped me when I went shake his hand. He looked at me and said “gotta protect the hands. You might be stronger than me.” We both laughed. Weeks later my dad passed away. My sisters and I each got a beautiful, hand written card from him and his wife! As good a man as musician!

[@rods1379]

Wow, thank you for sharing! That really reveals the man's character.

[@stephenhough4957]

Bruce always seemed like a top man. I’ve no idea how he managed to express this simply through his music, he just seemed a great guy and I’m glad he was so sweet to you in a moment of distress.

[@h1dministries922]

This entire album is a Grammy winning masterpiece. Filled me with joy the first time I heard it in full

“Every Little Kiss” is the third hit from Bruce’s first album. “Valley Road” and “Look Out Any Window “ are from his second album. Bruce also wrote the #1 Huey Lewis and the News hit “Jacob’s Ladder”. Don Henley sings lead and Bruce play piano on “ The End of the Innocence “.

Bruce Hornsby, my all time favorite person in the whole of Rock and Roll. Seen him live many times with The Range and the Grateful Dead, and he's just a great human being.

[@seanswinton6242]

I took a University 101 course. It was to aid freshman to adjust to university life. I didn't want to take it, but my parents made me. I chose the 1 day a week one-every Wednesday 5-8 PM. As fate would have it, Halloween happened to fall on that day! A week earlier, a classmate told our instructor Mr. Pruitt he would be missing class. He said, "I'm going to the Dead Halloween show P.rofessor asked, "Where are your seats? He said, "In the nosebleeds" Mr. Pruitt replied, "That's a shame! What am I going to do with your ticket along with the rest of these on row 2? The guy yelled, "DUDE, YOU ARE THE COOLEST!😂😂 The show was awesome! We all dress in costumes much like those in attendance! Years later I bought the CD you're referring to. I'm a huge Hornsby fan. As well as a Grateful Dead one. As a jazz person I got it also because I think Branford Marsalis played on it as well.

[@bobschenkel7921]

@@seanswinton6242 Sounds like I went to the wrong college. Wow, cool professor. Nice to meet a fellow Dead Head, and Bruce Head. Keep on Rockin'!!!

[@CLRoess]

Great to hear from all of you so far in this thread. Take care as you rock on.

[@JasonWhited]

An old friend of mine went to see him in the late 1980s and said it was one of the best shows he's ever seen, by any artist playing any kind of music. I've always hated I never got to see one of his live shows. Bet it was incredible.

[@ajschroetlin2196]

Amen.

[@andyrunton]

Thank you so much for listening to this one. It’s one of my all-time favorites! ❤️

[@loritajohnson5664]

Mine too!

[@adderman1950]

This song reminds me of my first love and my first broken heart! It is such a masterpiece it never fails to bring tears to my eyes!

[@landpirate1968]

I'm from the VA/NC "Lake Country" referenced in this song. In fact, there's a picture of Bruce holding my newborn second cousin at my aunt's house. This is the Virginia sound--country, pop, bluegrass, and jazz all swirled into one... In case you didn't know, the red fruit shown in the video are pomegranates, a common fruit used as a Christmas decoration in Virginia. I was 19 when this song was released, but it represents my whole life. Love you guys!

[@RitaBowen1]

[@helenespaulding7562]

Lovely and informative comment.

[@CLRoess]

So nice to hear about this. Have you heard this wonderful version yet?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKOTe5qFrpKFiqc

[@PastorMattSkiles]

Bruce Hornsby is a tremendously talented pianist and singer. This is my favorite of his many hit songs. Love this. Thanks for posting!

[@markl2322]

The thing I notice about this song is that he doesn't say "watch the rain", or "watch my tears"; he says "listen to the mandolin rain", and "listen to my tears roll down my face". Normally you don't hear things like mandolins in the rain, or the sound of tears. All of the feelings and emotions in the song are explained by the sounds of music, and specific instruments. "Listen to the banjo wind's sad song driftin' low..." A man of music using the language he knows best to let his pain out for the loss of his love. My, oh my...what a way to express something that is so very hard to express.

[@pinkfabulous1496]

Couldn’t agree more. True poetry.

Next stop: Don Henley (featuring Bruce Hornsby), "The End of the Innocence." You'll recognize Hornsby's piano immediately.

LOVE Bruce Hornsby and the Range! That whole album is excellent. Another big hit off that album is "Every Little Kiss" I've seen him twice in concert the past 10 years. Still rocking it!

[@enriquetheprofessor]

It really is. Every track is a killer! My favorite is the closer "The Red Plains". Excellent piano playing on that one too.

[@paulelliott682]

I got to hear them live in 1988. No auto-tune needed

[@RadCenter]

This is actually the third time you've reacted to a Bruce Hornsby performance. Besides "That's Just the Way It is," you also reacted to a video of "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt that featured Bruce on piano.

It's funny how I appreciate Bruce Hornsby so much more now.

Beautiful song. Everytime I hear this it reminds me of my Dad in such a good way. Check End of the Innocence, and Don Henley Boys of Summer, same feel.

[@ChrisW-17]

Since everyone may not know, Bruce Hornsby co-wrote and performed piano on Don's End of the Innocence. The music track to The Boys of Summer was written by Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers, but Tom Petty rejected it. Don turned it into a classic! Two of my favorite songs! Both so nostalgic.

[@scorpiouk5914]

I am one of your older viewers (56) and I had this album back in the 80's. I just loved it! The title song gave an excellent social message. This song still hits me hard because I had just gone through a hard break up when this song was on the radio. From the same album, try "Every Little Kiss". It is an upbeat song that was a solid hit for the band.

This has to be on my top 25 favorite songs of all time. I saw Bruce Hornsby live one year at San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. He did a version of Mandolin Rain with Ricky Skaggs. I was mesmerized, it was so beautiful and haunting. I highly recommend it!

August 27, 1999 (still have my ticket stub!) -- Saratoga Performing Arts Center (NY) -- Bruce Hornsby, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, and Shawn Colvin. What a great mix of true artists.

In 1983 a woman I once loved and has now sadly passed phoned me and said John do you want to go see a concert at Hammersmith Oden London tonight. I asked her who it was she said a band called Bruce Hornsby and the Range. I’ve never heard of them but the tickets are only a tenner (£10)uk pounds. So off we went that night and this band came on and played a three and half hour set. At that time every track from their first albums The Way It Is and Scenes from the Southside. That night my love affair began with Bruce the magical musician and wonderful piano playing song writing genius. My darling Jilly I loved you in so many ways but this was the night I will most remember you forever. My introduction to Bruce and the wonderful musical journey with him ever since rest in peace sweet lady. To you guys listen to The Road not Taken you won’t regret it god bless you both

Country artist Pam Tillis did a beautiful cover of this song. Softer, more melancholy sound, and features lovely mandolin playing in the music. Definitely worth a listen! Pam Tillis is also a great choice for a Female Friday - I highly suggest her hit "Shake the Sugar Tree"

[@KozmikZootz]

Though he's adored, he's the definition of of a "Musician's Musician" Without fail, can we, we stop to listen to Bruce Hornsbey. Likely few among us will aspire to what artistry that he can share...but it feels darned good that HE can & does, and has for decades.

Your first time to hear Bruce was when you reacted to Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me". He was the one on the piano. This is definitely a fave.. pls check out next to "The Valley Road" and "The Long Race". Hearing this, it also reminded me of "Endless Summer Nights" by Richard Marx -- hope you react to these in the future.
