Moments Worth Listening For

The rhythmic snap-track and greasy guitar lick that kicks off Texas, bridging modern pop and honky-tonk grit.

The soaring, gospel-tinged backing vocals that elevate the final chorus of Heaven Sweet Home into a stadium anthem.

The stripped-back, intimate acoustic opening of Years that showcases the weathered texture of his lower register.
