"Song C" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.

His time spent as a keyboardist with the Grateful Dead obviously put a bit of boogie into Bruce Hornsby's soul, as SPIRIT TRAIL makes it clear that Hornsby's graduated from Donald Fagen impressions to a more eclectic, rootsy approach that incorporates R&B, folk-rock, blues and more. Whatever stylistic mode Hornsby takes to spin his tales, he invests it with an undeniable funkiness that's apparent in both the subtle bop of the rhythm section and the syncopated meter of his always-intelligent lyrics. Naturally, the main instrumental ingredient of the album is Hornsby's piano work, ever energetic and inspired as it colors the earthy grooves of the tunes. Hornsby obviously had a lot on his mind this time around, as SPIRIT TRAIL spreads 20 tracks over two CDs, ranging from ballads to full-out rockers.
