Moments Worth Listening For

The haunting purity of the a cappella version of Calling My Children Home where the three voices lock into a single, grieving vibration.

The alternate take of Wildflowers featuring a more fragile, less polished vocal delivery that highlights the song's inherent vulnerability.

The moment in Softly and Tenderly where the gospel roots of the trio shine through in a slow, reverent build of layered harmonies.
