Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive entrance of the E Street Horns on 'Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)' that instantly elevates the energy.

The weathered, gravelly grit of Bruce's voice contrasting with the smooth backing vocals on 'Nightshift'.

The genuine chemistry and shared history felt during the Sam Moore guest appearance on 'Soul Days'.
