Moments Worth Listening For
The chaotic, joyful brass explosion that kicks off the solo section in Jacob's Ladder.
The haunting, sparse fiddle opening of Mrs. McGrath that builds into a thunderous anti-war stomp.
The moment the entire band drops out during Pay Me My Money Down for a massive hand-clapped singalong.
