Bruce Never Went Away

CNN.com has a nice article on "The Return of Bruce Hornsby" on its website, talking about his new album, Halcyon Days. Of course, Bruce never really went anyway, except on the road. And I don't get the "no piano" line about his last album, Big Swing Face. There's lots of piano on there -- electric piano, but piano nonetheless. I only wish the new album was doing something for me. After several listens, I'm left with a lukewarm feeling and the sense that Bruce's halcyon days (Harbor Lights and Hot House, specifically) are behind him. In the studio, at least.
