Moments Worth Listening For
The jubilant fiddle breakdown in Lafayette that captures the physical relief of returning home.
The vulnerable crack in the vocal during Sharp Cutting Wings when she admits to having only a hundred dollars.
The way the pedal steel sighs against the steady, rolling rhythm of the title track.
