On the contrary, the record sounds like the culmination of a band's efforts over many years. The group has a distinct sound of its own, often led by Hornsby's bright piano chords and elastic tenor, with cohesive and evocative arrangements; there is new age music here, as well as jazz and country, and the mixture is presented naturally by musicians who seem to have been playing with each other for some time. Similarly, the songwriting has its own flavor. Hornsby wrote seven of the nine songs with his brother John Hornsby, and they create their own world, a working-class environment of longing and loneliness set against the background of the Virginia Tidewater area. (The album cover displays a sepia-toned photograph of the band set over another photograph of the long Chesapeake Bay Bridge.) The lyrics are lightly poetic and restrained, for the most part. The exception is the title song (written by Bruce Hornsby alone), a brave if somewhat clumsily written attack on the heartless right-wing politics of the mid-'80s, as the U.S. suffered through a second Reagan administration determined to roll back civil rights gains. The boldness of the statement and the lovely piano theme more than compensate for the awkward writing, however, making the song one of the album's most memorable. And that's saying a lot when the competition includes the engaging "Mandolin Rain" and the appealingly romantic "Every Little Kiss" (Hornsby's other sole writing credit). Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise that the music is so accomplished. Hornsby was no teenage neophyte when he made it, having kicked around the music business and gotten into his thirties, and the band includes such veterans as David Mansfield, who may be remembered as a member of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder troupe and the Alpha Band, as well as being a film composer. Sometimes a debut album just happens to be the first music most people get to hear by a mature talent, and that's the case here on the debut album of the year.

Read the description in english below Emerson 888 "Pioneer"  (1958) Radio emblématique de la période mythique définie comme "l'Age de l'Espace". Elle doit son nom aux sondes spatiales Pioneer, dont la première avait été lancée par la NASA le 11 octobre 1958. Il y eut ensuite d'autres déclinaisons de cette radio sur ce même châssis, nommées "Vanguard" (première fusée lanceuse de satellites), "Atlas" (fusée du programme Mercury), "Explorer" (satellite lancé par une fusée Vanguard), et "Satellite". Très bon état cosmétique général. Complet, rien ne manque. Tous les composants sont d'origine. Quelques usures normales. Il n'y a ni éclats, ni fissures, ni craquelures sur cette radio, et seulement quelques très légères zones d'usure de peinture (voir photos). Le support orientable est présent. Fonctionne comme au premier jour (à condition d'avoir des émetteurs PO à capter, ce qui se fait rare en Europe, sauf par exemple en Espagne). Et de fait, la nuit, ce poste capte plusieurs émetteurs espagnols depuis la Bretagne (environ 600 km de distance)... C'est l'un des premiers postes à transistors à être commercialisé au grand public. Le transistor semi-conducteur au germanium avait été inventé peu de temps auparavant dans les laboratoires de la Bell Company par les Américains John Bardeen, William Shockley et Walter Brattain, qui reçurent le prix Nobel de physique en 1956.

Emerson 888 "Pioneer"  (1958) Iconic radio of the mythical period defined as the "Space Age". It owes its name to the Pioneer space probes, the first of which having been launched by the NASA on October 11, 1958. Further variations on this same chassis were named "Vanguard" (first american rocket to launch a satellite), "Atlas" (launcher for Mercury program), "Explorer" (satellite launched by a Vanguard rocket), and "Satellite". Very good overall cosmetic condition. Complete, nothing missing. All components are original components. Some normal wear. There are no chips or cracks or crazing on this radio, and only some very slight paint wear areas (see photos). The adjustable stand is present. Works like a charm - providing there are MW broadcasting stations in your area... For instance, at night time, it can receive several spanish MW transmitters from my home in Brittany-France (approx. 400 miles away). This is one of the earliest general public transistor radios on the market. The germanium semi-conductor transistor device had only recently been invented in the Bell Company laboratories by John Bardeen, William Shockley et Walter Brattain, who received the Nobel prize for physics in 1956.
