Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the gritty blues of 'Watch Your Step' into the shimmering, atmospheric textures of 'Tales of Kilimanjaro'.
The way the guitar mimics a lonely vocal melody on the title track, 'Havana Moon', capturing a sense of island isolation.
The unexpected brass-heavy, Tex-Mex bounce of 'They All Went to Mexico' that breaks the album's contemplative spell.
