Moments Worth Listening For
The way the harmonica breathes through the spaces of Silent Night, mimicking a cold wind outside a warm room.
Willie's signature behind-the-beat phrasing on White Christmas, turning a standard into a personal confession.
The rhythmic, percussive thrum of Trigger on Deck the Halls, giving the carol a Texas dance-hall shuffle.
