Moments Worth Listening For
The surprising transition into a country-folk rendition of Neil Young's Heart of Gold featuring Willie's signature harmonica wail.
The way the piano and Trigger's nylon strings intertwine on the George Harrison cover Something, creating a bridge between Liverpool and Texas.
The intimate, almost whispered delivery on the closing track Home Away from Home that strips back the 80s gloss for a moment of pure vulnerability.
