About
Willie Nelson once said that 1996’s <i>Spirit</i> was his favorite album of the many he’d made in his decades-long career. Recorded in a single afternoon with a guitarist, a fiddler, and his sister Bobbie on the piano, the album captures the grace of his art in strokes so broad and effortless it feels almost like montage, or something witnessed from above. There are touches of Spanish and Tex-Mex and classical music (“She Is Gone,” “Mariachi”); country ballads (“I’m Not Trying To Forget You,” “I Guess I’ve Come to Live Here in Your Eyes”); and hymns as bare and upright as that tree in the backyard there (“We Don’t Run,” “I Thought About You, Lord”). <i>Spirit</i> sounds pure and delicate—but also strong and resolute. It sounds like the last word. .
