The Way It Is

When Bruce Hornsby & the Range released The Way It Is in 1986, they introduced themselves to the world with a sound that immediately resonated. The band's debut album became a success, achieving multi-platinum status and serving as a springboard for the group to win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. The album's title track, The Way It Is, was undoubtedly the one that propelled this recognition, but it wasn't alone in its success. Other tracks like Mandolin Rain and Every Little Kiss also stood out. The composition of these songs was mostly handled by Bruce Hornsby along with John Hornsby, although The Way It Is and Mandolin Rain are solely attributed to Bruce Hornsby.
