Moments Worth Listening For

The stark, crystalline resonance of the open D tuning on the title track's guitar introduction.

The shift into a gentle Cajun swing during the chorus of Crescent City, evoking a sudden sense of home.

The hushed, almost whispered delivery of the final verses in Ballad of a Runaway Horse.
