Bruce Hornsby's lengthy double album Spirit Trail is remastered and expanded in a new 25th anniversary edition which will feature four outtakes from a "lost" full-band follow-up that was abandoned in favor of 2002's Big Swing Face, a more electronic effort backed by his then-new band The Noisemakers. The CD version of the reissue will feature a third disc of Spirit Trail tracks played live at shows in support of the record - all previously unreleased. Bob Ludwig has mastered the sets (with vinyl lacquers cut by Chris Muth), and Hornsby has written new liner notes for the CD and vinyl sets. (The CDs, packaged in a clamshell case, will include an expanded booklet offering rare photos of Hornsby by Danny Clinch.)
