Description
Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Bruce Hornsby has completed recording a new album with The Noisemakers titled Rehab Reunion. The highly respected musician pushes the envelope once again performing solely on the dulcimer throughout. Produced by Hornsby Rehab Reunion reflects a refreshing approach to his songwriting further solidifying his reputation for uncompromising artistry. The piano-free ten song recording features the Noisemakers J.T. Thomas (organ), J.V. Collier (bass), Sonny Emory (washboard, cajon, drums), Gibb Droll (electric and acoustic guitar) and Ross Holmes (fiddle, mandolin) and guest stars Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) singing falsetto harmony on the first single Over the Rise and the legendary Mavis Staples singing a rousing gospel with Hornsby on Celestial Railroad.

Tracklist
1. Over the Rise (with Justin Vernon)

Is this actual songs or another off-beat project?

I've totally lost interest in Bruce and I am a huge fan who has seen him live 5 times.

Dulcimers don't excite me much.

"Piano-free" is not a selling point for a Bruce Hornsby album. It reminds me of when jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval recorded a piano album with no trumpet-playing. An artist should stretch, but he shouldn't forget what got him to the party in the first place. Bruce is a unique piano player with incredible technique. Will we say the same about his dulcimer playing?

Okay, I like that. It still sounds like Bruce's music (vocally & rhythmically), as opposed to the oddball Big Swing Face album. The guitarist reminded me of Bruce's late nephew, R.S. Hornsby.
