Great vocal, the right tempo. It at least deserves a mention. This is a smooth show, some of which is on Road Trips 4, 3

I've noticed such a divide on this song. It's interesting. I'm in the middle, which is rare I guess. I like this version a lot. Jerry and Brent nail the chorus so hard. So ragged and dusty in the most incredible way possible

Wow. Stunning version. The dynamics are so on point, as others have noted. I love the organ accents. They add so much texture.
