Moments Worth Listening For

The poignant, conversational delivery on Nashville 1972, where the acoustic guitar frames name-checks of old legendary peers with a mixture of reverence and humor.

The gorgeous, swelling vocal harmonies on It Ain't Over Yet, where the interplay of voices elevates the song into a moving anthem of survival and resilience.

The stark, mournful acoustic picking on Life Without Susanna, capturing a deep sense of personal loss and historical weight.
