Bruce Hornsby has always been game for new musical adventure. From the world of pop-rock radio to jazz clubs to tours with the Grateful Dead, Hornsby has made it clear he likes to stretch the bounds of his piano prowess. His latest endeavor is a collabor- ation with iconic mandolin ace Ricky Skaggs and his well-oiled machine of a bluegrass band, Kentucky Thunder.
For two solid hours the duo tackled material from its eponymous 2007 album, along with a handful of familiar high-lonesome favorites. Right out of the gate it was apparent that Hornsby had found a comfortable place in the sounds of the Appalachian hills. He grinned from ear to ear as his fingers fluttered through solos traded with Skaggs, banjo-picker Jim Mills and fiddle prodigy Andy Leftwich on standards like Bill Monroe�s speedy instrumental �Bluegrass Breakdown� and The Stanley Brothers� �Little Maggie.
But this night wasn�t just about bluegrass, as Hornsby and Skaggs showcased their mutual affinity for a range of rural genres. Skaggs plucked some dusty hill-country guitar on a version of Roscoe Holcomb�s �Hills of Mexico,� while Hornsby added zydeco flavor with his accordion to Skaggs� �Cajun Moon. The spirit was more collaborative on �Gulf of Mexico Fishing Boat Blues,� which found Hornsby�s plaintive, folksy vocals and jazz-flavored ivories leading a journey that Skaggs followed with nuanced pastoral mando runs.
Hornsby also took the opportunity to reinvent some of his most well-known tunes within the acoustic confines, including a countrified revision of �The Way It Is� and a darker, more somber minor-key look at �Mandolin Rain,� which featured completely reworked timing.
When it became apparent that Skaggs and Hornsby had mastered each other�s music, there was only one thing left to play�a sunny, hopped-up and harmonized take on Rick James� �Super Freak,� which was the perfect exclamation point to this intermingling of mountain high and piano cool.
