Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Bruce Hornsby, the man who brought us such hits as "The Way It Is" and "Mandolin Rain." On his latest album, "Flictedin," Hornsby takes us on a musical journey that is both exhilarating and perplexing.
The opening track, "Flictedin Blues," sets the tone for the album with its distinct blend of jazz and rock influences. Hornsby's trademark piano playing shines through, as he effortlessly weaves intricate melodies that will have you tapping your foot in no time.
Tracks like "Saxophone Symphony" and "Funky Fusion" showcase Hornsby's versatility as a musician, with each song offering a unique blend of genres that keep the listener on their toes. The addition of saxophone solos and funky bass lines add a layer of complexity to the album that is both unexpected and delightful.
However, "Flictedin" is not without its flaws. Some tracks, such as "Ballad of the Banjo," can feel a bit repetitive and lack the spark that makes Hornsby's music so compelling. Additionally, the album's production can at times feel a bit flat, failing to fully capture the energy and passion that Hornsby brings to his live performances.
Overall, "Flictedin" is a mixed bag. While it may not reach the heights of Hornsby's earlier work, it still showcases his undeniable talent as a musician. Fans of his unique blend of jazz, rock, and folk will find plenty to enjoy here, even if the album falls short of being a classic.
