Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden transition from the delicate violin intro into the soaring, open-road harmonies of Free.
The rhythmic breakdown in Chicken Fried where the percussion and bass lock into a swampy, irresistible groove.
The heartbreakingly steady vocal delivery on Highway 20 Ride that captures the exhaustion of a long-distance father.
