Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the swampy groove of Okolona River Bottom Band into the ethereal, flute-led shimmer of the mid-section.
Lucinda Williams' weathered, gravelly delivery on Ode to Billie Joe grounding the album's final moments in stark reality.
The way the orchestral swells on Sermon threaten to swallow the vocal before receding into a delicate, piano-led hush.
