A Period of Transition

A relaxed, piano-driven collaboration with Dr. John. Warm 1970s R&B grooves that feel like a casual late-night studio session among friends.

It's Van and Dr. John having a soulful, low-stakes jam session in a warm studio.

A relaxed, soulful exhale that prioritizes groove and musical camaraderie over heavy spiritual searching.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden shift into a gospel-inflected swing during the second half of The Eternal Kansas City.
Dr. John's rolling piano triplets locking in with the brass on Joyous Sound.
The way Van's vocals dissolve into rhythmic, repetitive chanting on the fade-out of It Fills You Up.
