Moments Worth Listening For
The devastatingly steady vocal on 'No Time to Cry' that captures the numbness of grief without over-singing.
The sharp, playful contrast of the upbeat honky-tonk rhythm against the self-deprecating lyrics of 'What's a Guy Gotta Do'.
The way the pedal steel swells to meet the low notes of his baritone during the bridge of 'Farewell Party'.
