He grew up steeped in gospel music, which clearly influenced his songwriting. This song, appearing on the album American II: Unchained, channels that deep, calm voice and a humble, somber demeanor. Playing "Spiritual" can feel like stepping into a moment of profound reflection and soulful searching.
