About this album

Scenes From the Southside sharpens Bruce Hornsby and the Range’s signature piano-led pop-rock into a more assured and reflective second album. Released in 1988, it built on the breakthrough of The Way It Is while showing the group’s wider range, from the bright optimism of Look Out Any Window and The Valley Road to the folk-tinged narrative sweep of Jacob’s Ladder, a song that became one of their best-known hits. Hornsby’s songwriting mixes social observation, regional detail and melodic ease, while the band’s playing keeps the arrangements clean and direct. The result is a polished late-1980s rock album with real staying power.

Genre: Pop & Rock
