Moments Worth Listening For
The self-reflective gut punch of the lyrics in track 10 where the narrator recognizes his own cheating in his partner's eyes.
The infectious rhythmic swing of the fiddles during the instrumental break of Dance Time in Texas.
The way the pedal steel mimics a human sob during the chorus of Blue Is Not a Word.
