Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's opening pedal steel swell that immediately establishes a sense of geographic longing.
The rhythmic transition into the swing-inflected shuffle of Any Old Time that makes the room feel smaller.
The lyrical contrast of angels and devils sharing tables during the rowdy peak of Honky Tonk Saturday Night.
