Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, distorted guitar riff that kicks off Temptation setting a darker tone than standard Nashville fare.
The haunting, stripped-back vulnerability of Little Glass of Wine where the rasp in his voice feels most exposed.
The way the title track Ruthless builds from a steady pulse into a soaring, defiant anthem of resilience.
