Bruce Hornsby & The Range - The Valley Road
Review by Alejandro Avilés
The Valley Road by Bruce Hornsby & The Range is a timeless classic that has captured the hearts of music lovers for decades. The album features a unique blend of rock, pop, and jazz that creates a sound that is both familiar and fresh. From the opening track, "The Valley Road," to the final notes of "The Longest Night," the album takes listeners on a journey through the ups and downs of life.
Hornsby's piano playing is the centerpiece of the album, and his virtuosity is on full display throughout. The Range provides a solid foundation for his playing, with tight rhythms and harmonies that add depth and texture to the songs. Hornsby's lyrics are thoughtful and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in life.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Mandolin Rain," which features a beautiful melody and heartfelt lyrics that are sure to tug at listeners' heartstrings. Another highlight is "I Will Walk With You," a tender ballad that showcases Hornsby's vocal range and emotional depth.

The piano solo at 02:50 is awesome ! ?
Lavorare per costruire , realizzare...produrre per se stessi per gli altri.
?☀️
The farmer was Levon Helm in this video. It looked like him so I looked it up and it was.
Look around see what's really going on
Ahead of times and prophetic art music expressions. ?❤️
Class
Linda como a vida ❤️,,
Well, the UN has now targeted EXXON as hiding their own R&D findings in the '70's. BIG OIL. Bruce was one of many prophets - and we've been listening.
The Piano is a Diamond! And Bruce the second Diamont. Awesome.
Love the sound
Needs more crowd noise. I kid, great song.
Bruce de lo mejor sin duda. Me emociono escucharlo a él y su magnífica banda ???????????????????????
Saw Bruce Horsnby and the range twice. This was the grand finale song and he extended the song too. Longer solos. They sound the same live as they do in the studio.
Best song I ever heard
After all these years, indeed decades, I keep coming back to this.
I have such an intense flashback to 1988 listening to this song. It's amazing how music can transport us to another time and/or place. What a better time it was then.
Bruce... I was a Student of Bruce Swartz; I had seen you several times through the years in and around RVA. I will say it right here. You made everyone feel at home at every one of your concerts. You always had us join in or encouraged us to join in. You in my opinion, defined what a true artist is about. The music and their fans. You made us apart of your family at every concert. Thank you! You are a true artist, and I can say it has been amazing. When I found out you were Va. boy, it really made me turn to you. Then your story turned me more. Thank you for all you ever did!
I live in NYC in a Spanish neighborhood and every Friday and Saturday, I introduce my neighbors to Mr. Hornsby. You can say that I hold a sermon on those days and Bruce is the guest speaker. The grand finale is this song. Excelsior Maestro.
Sei fenomenale Bruce..!
My Lots!!
Unbelievable!!! Such a GREAT Band! Real music! Miss those Times.....
