You know, the more I think about it, the more I think maybe it should have been on my list. There's something about the way it ends with East Wes that makes the whole thing kind of "make sense".

Hmm. Maybe I would have sequenced the songs a bit differently in the middle, but the positioning of Dover, East Wes, and Trademark are correct...

I think maybe part of it is because there are a couple songs on the album I could do without. Desert Rose and Nothing Can Keep Me From You would not be missed if they dropped off the album. Perhaps that's what it is for me, I'm not being objective enough: if I don't like every song, then I don't think of the album as being cohesive.

If I take a step back and accept the songs for what they are, then I see where you're coming from. OK. It's in.
