Moments Worth Listening For
The gentle, rhythmic sway of the banjo on Three Little Birds that turns a reggae anthem into a front-porch spiritual.
Taj's gravelly but tender delivery on Fishin' Blues, making a century-old tune feel like a brand new bedtime story.
The communal, hand-clapped energy of Little Liza Jane that captures the feeling of a live family gathering.
