While their 1986 debut The Way It Is catapulted them to global stardom, it was their sophomore effort, Scenes from the Southside (1988), that cemented Hornsby’s legacy as a masterful storyteller and virtuosic musician. In recent years, particularly around 2021, a resurgence of interest in high-quality digital archives, rare bonus tracks, and uncompressed audio formats has sent fans searching for definitive versions of this classic album.
