Intersections: 85-05 (CD)

Possessed of a breezy, nonchalant style that belies his technical gifts, pianist Bruce Hornsby writes powerful songs from the heart that touch on several distinctly American traditions: pop, jazz, bluegrass, and '60s soul. He worked for a while as a studio player and songwriter, and had his first hit in 1986 with the stirring and philosophical "The Way It Is." Since then he has continued to release albums that honor his own muse rather than the marketplace, and has put together various backing bands to suit the mood and style of whatever genre he's working in. Hornsby also has a close musical relationship with the remaining members of the Grateful Dead, having toured as a temporary member in the early '90s and collaborated on off-shoot recordings and live shows.

A release that's sure to please Bruce Hornsby diehards, INTERSECTIONS celebrates 20 years of the Virginia-based singer-songwriter/pianist's recordings, ranging from popular singles to revered album tracks to obscure gems. The four-CD/one-DVD box set is frontloaded with Hornsby's biggest mid-1980s hits, including "The Way It Is" and "The Valley Road," which showcase his impressively deft keyboard work, thoughtful lyrics, and plaintive vocals. The collection also makes room for songs cut while Hornsby served as an auxiliary member of the Grateful Dead (most notably a straightforward cover of the Dead's "Jack Straw") and more adventurous latter-day tunes such as the rock-tinged "Sticks & Stones" and the ragtime-y "What the Hell Happened." Though casual fans will likely opt for the concise GREATEST RADIO HITS, INTERSECTIONS is perfect for those seeking an extensive overview of Hornsby's career.
