Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, locomotive chug of the slide guitar opening on Slow Train that mimics a steam engine building pressure.
The unexpected transition into a Greek-inspired acoustic texture during Black Lung Heartache before the electric crunch returns.
The seamless vocal trade-off with John Hiatt on Tennessee Plates that brings a playful Nashville grit to the record.
