"The man's career is defined by nothing if not restlessness and he's managed to do something fresh and different almost every time out ... the upshot is a vibrant record that refreshingly gives the sometimes-overlooked facets of his music their place to shine. Even with spider fingers virtuosity left out of the equation this time around, Hornsby carries the proceedings singing with rustic charm and spinning sweet homey melodies left and right. Meanwhile there's still a good dose of instrumental playfulness on the part of the band as they enjoy exploring their new dynamic. A couple tracks include solo shout-outs and faint whoops that suggest they were recorded live, which is always a benefit where this crew is concerned ... a fun album and another happy indication that there are more good times waiting around the bend." - All About Jazz Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Bruce Hornsby pushes the envelope once again on Rehab Reunion, putting his piano aside and writing and recording solely on the dulcimer throughout. Hornsby explains that this album is not a showcase for his piano virtuosity; rather it's all about songs and a singer. Produced by Hornsby in his own studio in Williamsburg Virginia, Rehab Reunion reflects a refreshing approach to his songwriting, further solidifying his reputation for uncompromising artistry. The piano-free album features Hornsby's longtime band the Noisemakers and guest stars Justin Vernon from Bon Iver singing falsetto harmony on the emotional and epic first single Over The Rise and the legendary Mavis Staples delivering a rousing gospel performance with Hornsby on Celestial Railroad.
