Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, emotional silence that follows the realization of Grandpa's death in the first track.
The playful, self-deprecating swing of the fiddle during the chorus of 'Cool to Be a Fool'.
The nearly six-minute slow burn of the title track where the baritone reaches its most resonant depth.
