Bruce Hornsby will release his new studio album ‘Indigo Park’ on April 3, the three-time Grammy winner announced Wednesday. The 10-track record brings together an impressive roster of collaborators including the late Bob Weir and Robert Hunter, alongside Blake Mills, Bonnie Raitt, Chris Dave, Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig and Pino Palladino. Hornsby and his longtime band The Noisemakers anchor the project.
The material represents a shift toward more personal songwriting, with Hornsby singing in first person more than he has in recent years. Two tracks bear co-writing credits from late Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. Hornsby describes the album as reflective, calling himself an old bastard looking back, though he says he’s found a graceful path forward with help from new friends.
The release arrives during the 40th anniversary year of Hornsby’s biggest hit “The Way It Is”, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986 and has been sampled extensively in hip-hop, notably by Tupac Shakur. Hornsby and The Noisemakers have mapped out extensive touring plans supporting the album, including orchestral performances with the Colorado Symphony and festival appearances at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and High Water Music Festival.
