spirit
Spirit is the forty-fourth studio album by country music singer Willie Nelson. The album differs from Nelson's other albums because of the use of fewer instruments (two guitars, piano, fiddle) and has a more classical/Spanish influence than others. Nelson's sister Bobbie plays piano. -Wikipedia

Rolling Stone
these are songs of amour and wonder, rendered with a sumptuous ease. The album is so hushed in tone and gentle in temperament that at times it seems weightless, lacking in emotional gravity.

he is at his understated best here, moving deeply into the skeleton of the song itself and what it chooses to reveal through the singer. And while Spirit is quiet, it's a tough, big record that makes you confront the roar of silence in your own heart.

Spirit is a masterstroke, a work of art ... As surely as the sound of this record is timeless, time will bear out that this under-the-radar 1996 release is one of the very best in the genre of country music.

So bare-boned in language, instrumentation, and melodic contour you barely notice it at first, this turns out to be Nelson's strongest new album in over a decade, his most indelible songwriting in at least two.
