Moments Worth Listening For
The fuzz-tone guitar solo on Goodbye to Love that mimics the original's unexpected rock edge.
The gentle, tremolo-heavy lead on Rainy Days and Mondays that captures the melancholy of the vocal melody.
The upbeat, almost country-tinged guitar picking on Jambalaya that breaks the album's mellow pace.
