Bruce Hornsby, a 13-time Grammy nominee and three-time Grammy winner, will add to his accomplished body of work with Levitate, his much-anticipated new album, set for release September 15 on Verve. The release is Hornsby’s first studio album co-credited to his longstanding touring band The Noisemakers. Levitate follows his critically acclaimed 2007 collaborative efforts: Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby, a highly praised bluegrass album with Ricky Skaggs, and Camp Meeting, Hornsby’s trio project with jazz giants Christian McBride and Jack DeJohnette.
Hornsby’s 10 albums have sold over 11 million copies worldwide and have solidified his status as a highly sought after collaborator. In addition to his own work, Hornsby has appeared on over 100 records including releases by Bob Dylan, Don Henley, the Grateful Dead, Bob Seger, Chaka Khan, Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson and more.
While Levitate evokes Hornsby’s distinctive musical approach, the album marks a creative departure for the artist. For the first time, Hornsby opted to record an album with no piano solos, choosing instead to emphasize the songwriting behind each track. “I’ve always been about finding a place to express my interest in playing the piano within the pop song context,” Hornsby says. “But with this record, I felt like I’d done that enough, so this time I really wanted the focus to be on the songs.”
Levitate contains 13 new songs, including “Cyclone,” with lyrics fromGrateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. The title cut, “Levitate”, is an alternate version ofa song from the recent Spike Lee film "Kobe Doin’ Work" (for which Hornsby also provided the original score), and “Space is the Place” features an Eric Clapton guitar solo. Produced byTony Berg and Bruce Hornsby,
Levitate features Hornsby on piano, dulcimer, keyboard and vocals; JV Collieron on bass; Sonny Emory on drums; John “J.T.” Thomas on organs and keyboards;Bobby Readon reeds; and Doug Derryberry on guitars. | ” |

His biggest commercial hit to date is his song with his first band, "The Range" called "The Way It Is". If you have been in a grocery supermarket in America in the last 10 years you have probably heard this song a million times.
I highly suggest you look into his solo works, he has some really fantastic albums.
