Moments Worth Listening For
The delicate interplay between Willie's guitar and Bobbie's piano on the Django Reinhardt classic Nuages.
The way Willie's voice cracks with gentle age on the medley of Summer of Roses and December Day.
The haunting, sparse arrangement of I Never Cared for You that closes the record with a dark, Spanish-tinged flair.
