Moments Worth Listening For
The bright, percussive energy of the banjo and fiddle interplay on 'Jack Can I Ride' that invites immediate movement.
The hushed, reverent vocal harmonies on 'All the Pretty Little Horses' that create a protective sonic cocoon.
The whimsical, animal-focused storytelling of 'The Fox' delivered with a playful but grounded folk authenticity.
