Moments Worth Listening For
The weary, lived-in rasp of the vocals on the John Prine cover Speed of the Sound of Loneliness.
The way the synthesizers subtly underpin the acoustic guitars in Brass & Batons, bridging her two eras.
The unexpected, playful shuffle of Willie and the Hand Jive breaking the album's introspective spell.
