Moments Worth Listening For

The stinging, precise guitar solo from Joe Bonamassa that cuts through the opening track like a lightning bolt.

Paul Simon's delicate, hushed harmonies on 'Song for Sam Cooke' creating a haunting bridge between two eras of pop.

The moment the groove locks in on 'My Baby Loves to Boogie' with a shuffle so deep it feels like it could go on forever.
