Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting blend of Alison Krauss's ethereal harmony against Lee's earthy baritone on the title track
The sudden, swampy blues shift in 'High Water' where the rhythm section hits a heavy, ominous pocket
The way the pedal steel on 'Johnson Blvd.' perfectly captures the feeling of a dying small town main street
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
