Moments Worth Listening For

The chaotic imagery of a jailbreak set against a sparse, rhythmic acoustic strum on Jailhouse Fire.

The vulnerable, tipsy narrative of falling off a barstool in a ghost town during Blue Ink.

The weary but resolute acceptance of a nomadic life in the closing track Movin' Along.
