Traveling Miles

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the swampy, rhythmic 'Run the VooDoo Down' into the airy, melodic title track.
The way her deep contralto stretches the vowels on 'Sky and Sea' over the iconic 'Blue in Green' chords.
The sudden, sharp violin accents that pierce through the hazy percussion on 'Resurrection Blues'.
