Moments Worth Listening For
The interlocking guitar solos on the title track that mirror the classic 1970s interplay with a sharper modern edge.
The sudden shift into a soulful, gospel-tinged bridge during Ready to Fly that showcases the band's softer melodic depth.
The swampy, low-slung harmonica riff that kicks off Mississippi Blood, grounding the album in deep Delta blues.
