Just wanted to let everyone know that Bruce is featured on the new Del McCoury “Moneyland” CD! Bruce plays a new version of “The Way It Is”- a beautiful intro, nice playing and singing by Bruce as always, and a new arrangement of sorts with the Del McCoury and his friends! Unfortunately the song fades off at the end, then a group reappears at the end to sing the chorus accapella . . . pretty cool!A must have for your Hornsby Library!!!!
Overall the album is described as follows from the email that I received:
A portion of each sale from the special edition will go to help an organization that helps the homeless.
Featuring Songs by:
The Del McCoury Band | Merle Haggard | Emmylou Harris
Bruce Hornsby | Chris Knight | Patty Loveless
Marty Stuart | Dan Tyminski | Mac Wiseman
Special Guest Appearances:
Rodney Crowell | The Fairfield Four
Tim O’Brien | Gillan Welch | David RawlingsModern day bluegrass patriarch Del McCoury adds a new dimension to his role as a musical leader on July 8, 2008 when his family owned McCoury Music label, distributed by powerhouse RED Distribution (a division of SonyBMG) releases Moneyland, a timely multi-artist collection that offers a hard-hitting look at today’s economic injustice through a thoughtful selection of six new (or newly recorded) songs, mixed with eight neglected gems and classic favorites. Framed by excerpts from two of Franklin Roosevelt’s Depression-era “fireside chats,” Moneyland revitalizes country and bluegrass music’s connections to the lives of hardworking people in ways that honor the past, look to the future and challenge listeners to act in the present
