Hornsby co-wrote seven of nine songs on the multi-platinum album, The Way It Is, including the top-five hit, "Mandolin Rain".
It appears to be partly inspired by the song You Don't Miss Your Water by William Bell due to it employing the same hook (heard at the beginning of both songs), and by a remarkably similar swing feel (albeit with different chords).
