Hornsby has a new album out. I haven't listened yet, but a few things in the review caught my eye.
Hornsby brought in yMusic, the contemporary chamber sextet that has also worked lately with Paul Simon, and its violinist and arranger Rob Moose; other songs use string orchestras. Hornsby then juxtaposed the disembodied classical ensembles with sinewy little studio bands that can kick and swing in any meter.
Ambition and exuberance merge in songs like “The Blinding Light of Dreams,” (the title makes me think of Illusions in G Major merged with Springsteen or Manfred Mann's Blinded by the Light)
“Voyager One” is a kind of multidimensional hoedown, with piano and yMusic meshing in overlapping riffs while Hornsby sings about space exploration and wonders if humanity will destroy itself before Voyager makes contact with other life-forms. (Alone in the Universe comes to mind)

, but we're OK. 
Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
