Moments Worth Listening For
The surprising emotional weight of the Coldplay cover where Willie's fragile delivery recontextualizes the lyrics.
Lukas Nelson's voice blending so seamlessly with his father's on 'Just Breathe' that they become a single instrument.
The rowdy, communal energy of the star-studded chorus on 'Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die'.
