Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected juxtaposition of a steady hip-hop loop against a traditional banjo pluck on 'Satellite Radio'.
The vibrant explosion of Brazilian percussion and bamboo flute that transforms 'City of Immigrants' into a global anthem.
The hushed, intimate vocal blend between Earle and Allison Moorer on 'Days Aren't Long Enough'.
