Moments Worth Listening For

The rhythmic banjo clatter on Railroad Bill that mimics the mechanical chug of a steam engine.

The intimate, close-mic breathiness of the vocals during the quietest passages of Mistreated Blues.

The sudden shift into a playful, ragtime piano bounce on Black and White Rag.
