Moments Worth Listening For

The quiet, devastating vulnerability of the opening track Drive, setting a starkly intimate tone with just a hushed acoustic guitar and a weary vocal.

The gentle, bittersweet piano and acoustic fingerpicking on The Magic Kid, offering a tender and deeply personal tribute to Carll's son.

The slow, aching pedal steel swells on Jealous Moon that close the album with a beautiful, lonely sense of finality.
