Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic, island-inflected bounce of Brown Girl in the Ring that transforms a playground chant into a soulful groove.
The intimate, hushed delivery of the title track where the fingerpicking feels like it is happening inches from your ear.
The way the Funky Bluesy ABCs turns a rote educational exercise into a genuine, foot-tapping blues shuffle.
