In May 1988, Bruce Hornsby released Scenes From The Southside,the follow up to his stunning debut album, The Way it Is. On this disc, Hornsby reaches into his Virginia roots for inspiration, with lyrics that conjured up images of small town Americana, all supported by virtuoso piano performances. The album went platinum, and critics noted that songs on the disc had more spacious musical arrangements, allowing for more expressive solos from Hornsby. The single, The Valley Road, would become his third Top 10 hit, peaking at number 5. Huey Lewis and The News would cover another song from the album, Jacob's Ladder, and take it to number #1. The Show Goes On would be featured in the Ron Howard movie, Backdraft, giving Hornsby additional national exposure. This FM broadcast captures Hornsby in London on tour in support of the album on December 1, 1988, 28 years ago today.

Howdy Speedy,
Just coming across this one, very intriguing. The link has expired. If you have a chance, at your convenience, if you could re-up the link, it would be most appreciated. Really enjoy Bruce at any point in his career, and the earlier era shows are nice.
Thank you.
new link is up - enjoy
Hi Speedy, my that is 'speedy' service! Thank you.
The opening number, Bruce's own 'Jacob's Ladder' sounding great, super sound! So Many Roads is where it's at!
