Moments Worth Waiting For
The title track's opening slide guitar riff that feels like a mischievous wink to the listener.
The soulful, stripped-back harmonica interplay on the cover of Little Walter's Blues With a Feeling.
The infectious, stomping boogie-woogie rhythm that drives the closing track Hey-Ba-Ba-Re-Bop.
