Moments Worth Listening For
The anthemic roll call of American laborers in the title track's chorus.
The lush, soaring vocal blend that anchors the bridge of There's No Way.
The extended, celebratory instrumental outro of If It Ain't Dixie.
The vulnerable, slow-burn piano introduction to I Want to Know You Before We Make Love.
