Moments Worth Listening For
The fragile, almost spoken delivery of the title track where the silence between notes carries the weight of aging.
The way the harmonica cuts through the sparse arrangement of 'Til I Gain Control Again' like a sharp memory.
The sudden shift to a playful, swinging rhythm on 'Milk Cow Blues' that briefly breaks the album's somber spell.
