Moments Worth Listening For
The weary, lived-in delivery of the Johnny Paycheck cover Old Violin where the fiddle mimics a crying vocal line.
The celebratory, loose energy of the Willie Nelson duet closing the album with a meta-commentary on their shared history.
The sharp, rhythmic piano stabs that drive the title track into a classic Western swing territory.
