Moments Worth Listening For
The weary, lived-in vocal delivery on 'I Threw It All Away' that rivals the Dylan original in sheer heartbreak.
The sudden burst of frantic energy during 'Bama Lama Bama Lou' that recalls his early new wave fire.
The lush, cinematic swell of the Kinks cover 'Days' that closes the collection with a perfect sense of finality.
