Review

Rolling Stone (p.143) - 3 stars out of 5 - "HALCYON DAYS is a winning balance of his tuneful and adventurous sides."
Uncut (p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 - "HALCYON DAYS finds Eric Clapton, Elton John an Sting helping out on an elegant collection of jazz-blues, emotive ballads and adult-rock."
Down Beat (p.80) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "[H]is keen ear for a good tune has turned him into a solo star of some standing..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Every song is a leisured exploration..."

Title Note

For his Columbia Records debut, HALCYON DAYS, Bruce Hornsby turned to his role as family man for inspiration. Written for one of Hornsby's sons struggling with self-esteem issues, "Dreamland" features the composer alternating solo verses with Elton John before the duo joins with gospel singer Lloyd Jones on this soothing lullaby. The gently pulsing, Bonnie Raitt-like title cut features Eric Clapton's warm guitar phrasing and Sting's burnished harmony vocals.

Hornsby's spry skill on the keys continues to delight, as he struts his range on notable numbers, from the stride-piano nuances sprinkled throughout "What the Hell Happened" and the New Orleans-flavored "Heir Gordon" to the sparse yet string-laden solo instrumental "Song F." Best of all is the opening cut, "Gonna Be Some Changes Made," a snappy number bubbling over with chugging rhythms, drizzled piano notes, and crisp Clapton riffs. Almost two decades into his recording career, Bruce Hornsby here solidifies his status as one of pop's premier piano-playing singer/songwriters.
