Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting descent of the pedal steel on 'The Cowboy in Me' that mirrors the internal conflict of the lyrics.
The gut-punch transition from the verses to the soaring, string-laden chorus of 'Grown Men Don't Cry'.
The weary, lived-in vocal chemistry between McGraw and Faith Hill on the bridge of 'Angry All the Time'.
