If you're thinking that you're going to get an album that is full of songs like "Every Little Kiss", "Mandolin Rain", and "the way it is", like I did. Then you will be let down, Like I was. Those 3 songs have been favorites of mine since they came out, but I just now came around to getting the album. Sadly there is only one more song on the album that is even worth listening to and that's "The Long Race". These for songs have all the great piano work, all the great rythums, all the great vocals, and all the great songwriting. The rest of the album is very much just OK and I don't think a whole lot of thought was put into it.
All in all though I payed 2 bucks for my copy and that is definetly worth it for 4 songs that I really like.

As I write this review, it is almost 20 years ago that Bruce Hornsby's debut was released. What an artist and what an album. Not since Elton John, has a piano player had such a major impact on the pop/rock music scene. Bruce Hornsby had a fresh sound that was unlike anything else on the radio at the time & his sound was kind of a blend of pop, rock, folk, bluegrass & country music. His band "The Range" were all superb musicians as well. Lots of great guitar work , bass, mandolin & percussion and of course Bruce's piano playing, which is second to none. I bought this album way back in 1986, and to this day, I still listen to it on a pretty regular basis. There's really not one weak song on the entire album and songs like: On the Western Skyline, Down the Road Tonight(w/Huey Lewis), The River Runs Low, The Red Plains & The Wild frontier are just as good as the hits. This album was an instant classic in 1986 and one of the Finest albums not only of the 80's but of all time. So do yourself a favor & give it a listen or better yet, buy it!

As in other occasions Bruce Hornsby, is the typical singer that i have like, but in radios where i have listen they usually dont say the name of the singer so i pass. Amazon makes possible to have name and music in one pack. Thanks.

This is probably Bruce Hornsby's finest moment. It's an album with broad appeal, good keyboards, nice guitar work, infectious beats, and catchy well-sung songs. There's not a weak one in the set. This album is perfect for driving, or musing, or any other activity! Everyone has their favourite song on this album - it's a timeless classic.
