Intersections 1985-2005

Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby Virginia cool meets Kentucky thunder in a collaboration between genre-bending pianist Bruce Hornsby and multi-instrumental virtuoso Ricky Skaggs that expands the terrain of bluegrass. Highlights include a meditative, minor-key transformation of Hornsby's "Mandolin Rain" (with Sk...	Three Nights on the Town	Camp Meeting Who knew that pianist/composer Bruce Hornsby, the popsmith of the hit "The Way it Is" and the bluegrass collaborator with Ricky Skaggs, was a jazz sleeper agent since his college days? On this 11-track recording, Hornsby's "Bill Evans-meets-the-hymnbook" pianism is buoyed by Chri...	Piano Jazz: McPartland/Hornsby	Greatest Radio Hits
Magic Thirty-five years as a justifiable rock musician allows Bruce Springsteen an opinion on the state of over-the-air radio, and he takes it--and takes the medium to the woodshed on the ruthless "Radio Nowhere." The opening smash sets the tone, with the ageless Boss wondering, "Is th...	Here Come the Noise Makers Since Bruce Hornsby first infiltrated the pop landscape in 1986 with the year's most socially conscious ballad, the Virginia native has proven himself to be a gifted singer-songwriter, piano player, and bandleader. All of those talents are much in evidence on this double CD of li...	Halcyon Days Bruce Hornsby fans have their reasons for feeling defensive these days: Despite the stylistic virtuosity and his former gig as a Dead sideman, as a piano-playing, adult-aimed popster he's in danger of being lumped in with Norah Jones and her drowsy disciples. Which may be why he ...	Kill to Get Crimson Three decades after Dire Straits broke onto the scene with their remarkable debut, Mark Knopfler remains an iconic figure in popular music, his graceful guitar playing equaled only by his genial baritone and a novelist's ability to create distinct characters and themes in his son...	A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection A Hundred Miles or More carries the subtitle A Collection, and what a curious collection it is--cuts from soundtracks, side projects, and tribute albums, plus guest duets on other artists' albums and five previously unreleased tracks. In other words, this is a collection of Aliso...

Questions....
It's a bit strange to get a question from Amazon,to write a review when you never received the item.... Hopefully Amazon takes care of the problem.... However, I have heard Intersections before and I like every bit of it....I really hopes Bruce is coming to Europe sometimes!

Bruce at his best.....
This is a great collection of Bruce Hornsby material with the added bonus of a DVD to watch. It's a wonderful addition to our box set collection. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this set!

Really Nice !
This box set is awesome! I bought it for my Dad who is a big fan, and it was exactly what he wanted! He's old school, so he didn't realize the DVD had the pictures and extra stuff on it! He loves it! Great compilation of music.

What do I get for this? + opinion
If you're a Hornsby junkie this is f'ing awesome!! You get a ton of great music for the price. The differet treatments of his popular stuff is a great fresh breath from the only person I want to hear cover the original work. As for covers of other songs, as a rule I am NOT a fan of cover work with RARE exception, but the work on CD 4 is very enjoyable. The DVD is damn near worth the price by itself and I didn't even buy it for that. If you REALLY like Bruce Hornsby this is a Must Have. So, do I get anything for this?

For true Hornsby fans, this one is a must.
There seem to be two types of Bruce fans out there, ones who merely like him for his radio hits (The way it is, Fields of Gray, etc) and those who can't get enough of his music because he blends great music regardless of genre from funk to bluegrass to classic rock seamlessly into one concert, one album, and many times, one song. If you like Bruce for his radio cuts and think his career peaked in 1995- buy the CD greatest radio hits and be done. There is nothing for you here. Bruce will "slaughter" your favorite song- and you'll hate him for it. However, if you know and have spent the time to know Bruce's catalog well or appreciate the evolution of music-this box set is a must. Hardly an extended greatest hits or complete recording CD- The aptly named Intersections pulls well from all Bruce's genres, jazz with Wynton Marsalis, The Grateful Dead period, bluegrass with Skaggs and others as well as some more pop-offerings. A few favorites ONLY available here: Piano solo Song F, Live version of Love Me Still, Crown of Jewels (Live), Fortunate Son/Comfortably numb and Fields of Gray/ Sam Cooke's That's where its at. Much more. This box set demonstrates a musician who did not peak with a radio hit first album, but one refining and keeps getting better and better. I have all of his studio recordings, including the Ricky Skaggs album, two concert DVD's and have seen Bruce in concert four times. Intersections provided alot of new material, and new takes on old songs that this is money well spent- The one gripe I have is it seems heavy with untouched album cuts from Spirit Trail, Big Swing Face and Halcyon Days.(More recent work) But for the price you are paying for four 70+ minute cd's +DVD- you might look at it as getting a good portion of those tracks for free.
