''Spirit Trail'' is the sixth album by American pianist and singer Bruce Hornsby, released as a double CD in 1998. The cover artwork depicts Hornsby's uncle, Charles Hornsby.〔Liner notes, ''Spirit Trail''.〕 The album blended instrumental tracks with the story-telling, rock, jazz, and other musical forms Hornsby had delved into over his career. Over the two discs, Hornsby wove a tapestry of varied textures, from the fervent spirituality and almost gospel dirge of "Preacher in the Ring, parts I & II," to the catchy chord progressions of "Sad Moon." ''Spirit Trail'' has been often mentioned to be one of Bruce Hornsby's best albums. Several tracks, notably "Fortunate Son", have since become fan favorites and staples at Hornsby's concerts. Among other homages, the song "Sunflower Cat (Some Dour Cat) (Down With That)" sampled and looped the main lick from the Grateful Dead song "China Cat Sunflower." ''Spirit Trail'' considered "very Southern" themes with "songs about race, religion, judgment and tolerance" and "struggles with these issues"〔—notably on "Sneaking Up on Boo Radley," which references the character from Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird. ==Track listing== All songs by Bruce Hornsby, except where noted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spirit Trail」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
