The Way It Is

Bruce Hornsby & the Range released The Way It Is in 1986. It was the first album they recorded together, before the band became famous. The sound was a mix of rock and country, with instruments that were clearly heard, like the violin and the guitar. The songs had a smooth rhythm, but also moments that were more intense, like in The Long Race or The Wild Frontier.

About the album

The Way It Is, according to DoReSol

The album included songs that spoke about travel, nature, and emotions. The Way It Is was one of the most well-known, with lyrics that seemed to tell a story. The band played with a lot of energy, but also knew how to take pauses so the melodies would stay in your head. It was an album that marked the beginning of their journey, before the world recognized them.
