Moments Worth Listening For
The soaring, multi-tracked vocal harmonies on the title track that feel like a choir in an empty canyon.
The way the pedal steel mimics a human sob during the bridge of The Last Cheater’s Waltz.
The transition into a traditional, stripped-back arrangement for Tennessee Waltz that highlights the pure clarity of her upper register.
