Bruce Hornsby - Indigo Park [LP] Vinyl Record

Bruce Hornsby’s newest album, Indigo Park, is a concept album of sorts, an extended multi-dimensional inquiry into the nature of aging and memory, often with a lightness of tone – the ways certain scenes linger placidly while others balloon into imagined catastrophe, the ways we remember and the ways we forget. Throughout, Hornsby contemplates moments from his deep past, sometimes trying to “resolve” them, other times looking for clues about his present-day outlook.

“It's just an old bastard looking back, while hopefully pushing forward to adventurous and new musical & lyrical areas,” Hornsby says of his new songs, with a smile of characteristic self-deprecation. “To be honest, I've found a way, a path to….grow old gracefully, with help from some newborn friends of mine.”

The album is produced by Tony Berg, Will Maclellan and Bruce Hornsby with contributions from friends including Bob Weir, Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, Bonnie Raitt, Blake Mills & more. Two of the albums ten songs were co-written with the late Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter.
