Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic, almost spoken-word cadence of the verses in Felt Good on My Lips that explodes into a massive pop-country chorus.
The gritty, blues-inflected guitar lick that grounds the redemption narrative of Better Than I Used to Be.
The atmospheric, synth-padded opening of Halo that signals a more modern, experimental texture for a country veteran.
