Moments Worth Listening For
The delicate interplay of the mandolin and Dolly's high-register vibrato on the opening title track.
The vulnerability in the vocal delivery of Can't Be That Wrong, where the production stays out of the way of the emotional weight.
The playful, youthful energy of I'm Sixteen that breaks the album's mostly mellow pace with a rhythmic bounce.
