Moments Worth Listening For

The transition where the rowdy opening of Whiskey River melts into the slow, heartbreaking crawl of Funny How Time Slips Away.

The way the harmonica takes over the melody during Georgia on My Mind, soaring high above the sparse rhythm section.

The quiet, solo acoustic intimacy of Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, where the crowd noise completely drops away.
