Bruce Hornsby has not rested on "The Way It Is." He probably could -- sometimes it seems like he could rest on the hip-hop songs that sample "The Way It Is." But in the 27 years since his biggest hit came out, he's been working not just on follow-ups -- 10 studio albums, by my count -- but collaborating across genres at the same time.
Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby are scheduled to perform Saturday, October 19, at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts.
