Moments Worth Listening For
The way the fiddle and banjo intertwine on the title track, creating a dizzying, celebratory mountain dance.
The sudden, heartbreaking shift to close-knit three-part vocal harmonies on the opening of Ocean of Diamonds.
The raw, unadorned acoustic guitar intro of Lonesome Feeling that sounds like it was recorded in a living room.
