Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from Willie's fragile nylon-string picking to B.B. King's stinging electric vibrato on The Thrill Is Gone.
The nearly nine-minute slow burn of Texas Flood where the band settles into a deep, swampy groove that feels like it could last forever.
The way Willie reinterprets his own classic Crazy as a smoky, late-night blues lament alongside Diana Krall's sophisticated piano.
