Moments Worth Listening For

The sharp, stinging slide guitar entry on the title track that immediately establishes the Chicago lineage.

The transition from the driving rhythm of At My Front Door into the more somber, piano-led River's Invitation.

The raw, unadorned acoustic intimacy of Kindhearted Woman that strips the album back to its Delta roots.
