Moments Worth Listening For
The piercing harmonica entry on Stranger that immediately establishes a sense of displacement.
The relentless, locked-in rhythmic pocket of Jr.'s Shuffle that makes sitting still impossible.
The sudden shift to a fragile, ghostly vocal on One Kind Favour that transforms a standard blues into a gothic lament.
