As eccentric as the artist himself, Legacy's 2015 compilation The Essential Bruce Hornsby may not give casual fans all the hits they know -- "Mandolin Rain" is, for one, here in a live version, while "Every Little Kiss" is absent altogether -- but this does an excellent job of showcasing Hornsby's range and idiosyncratic taste. There isn't much from the Range here, all things considered: there's more from his rangier new millennial band the Noisemakers, plus duets with Ricky Skaggs, jams with jazzbos Jack DeJohnette and Christian McBride, not to mention Grateful Dead covers and a bit of classical music to boot. It's a lot to shoehorn onto one collection but it definitely shows Hornsby's versatility, as well as how he's gotten looser (and possibly better) as he's moved further away from the charts.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine - All Music Guide



Since “The Way It Is” brought Bruce Hornsby to the forefront of musicians back in 1986, he has released a steady stream of hits and notable albums. With “Mandolin Rain” doing just as well from that first multi-platinum album (The Way It Is – 1986), Hornsby was settled in as a premier artist to pay attention to. Over the years, he has released over fifteen albums, three with his first ensemble, The Range.

With a wealth of talent that has taken several genre turns, and that has found him sitting in on other artists’ album sessions, Bruce Hornsby has generated a legacy that is strong today.

On May 26, Legacy Recordings and RCA Records will release a 2CD, 29-track Essential series title, The Essential Bruce Hornsby. The collection will offer a generous supply of hits, live cuts, and an expansive look over his entire music career that includes his time with The Range, The Noisemakers, several sessions tracks, and his excellent solo work.
