Bruce Hornsby Sees ‘Indigo’ With Bob Weir, Bonnie Raitt

Bruce Hornsby welcomes the late Bob Weir, Bonnie Raitt, Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig and Blake Mills on his new album, Indigo Park, which will arrive April 3 from Zappo Productions/Thirty Tigers. The 10-track set was produced by Hornsby with Tony Berg and Will Maclellan is led by its groovy, nostalgic title track, which can be sampled below.

Hornsby is backed on Indigo Park by his band the Noisemakers, plus Mills on guitar, bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Chris Dave. Two songs, “Alabama” and the Weir- and Mills-assisted “Might As Well Be Me, Florinda,” are co-writes with late Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter.

“It’s just an old bastard, looking back,” says Hornsby, who turned 70 during the album sessions. “To be honest, I’ve found a way, a path to grow old gracefully, with help from some newborn friends of mine.”

The artist will tour this spring and summer with the Noisemakers, with dates on tap from April 9 in Cincinnati to July 25 at the Great South Bay festival in Patchogue, N.Y.. Click here for tickets. This year is also the 40th anniversary of Hornsby’s breakthrough album with the Range, The Way It Is, which earned them the Best New Artist Grammy.
