Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive entry of the signature dual-drum shuffle on the opening track, signaling a return to the band's classic boogie roots.
The precision-engineered vocal harmonies on 'South of the Border' that bridge the gap between their 70s soul and 80s pop sensibilities.
The gritty, blues-inflected guitar solo in 'Take Me to the Highway' that cuts through the polished late-80s production.
