Moments Worth Listening For
The soaring, string-laden climax of I Could Not Ask for More that defines the era's romantic peak.
The sudden shift to a lonesome fiddle and mountain imagery during the seven-minute sprawl of See Off This Mountain.
The gravelly, vulnerable whisper that opens Wish in This World, setting a tone of weary but persistent hope.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
