Moments Worth Waiting For
The effortless hand-off of guitar solos between Clapton and Mark Knopfler on Someday.
Willie Nelson's weathered, conversational vocal delivery on Songbird that feels like a shared secret.
The way the rhythmic pocket deepens on Cajun Moon, capturing that signature Cale 'shuffle' perfectly.
