Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden transition from a somber Civil War ballad into a swirling, progressive orchestral coda on I Cheat the Hangman.

The explosive, brass-heavy soul energy that kicks in during the chorus of Take Me in Your Arms.

The intricate, lightning-fast fingerpicking on the acoustic instrumental Slack Key Soquel Rag.
