thou shalt not review an album after listening to only a couple of times and definitely not through an internet stream...

what a difference a week makes. and a quality soundin' recording. When I first got SYW, my skippers were Red Rover and Say Goodbye. Beautiful songs, but way too busy, according to my ears..i was missing it.

I also initially had problems with the sequencing, fell in love with Stevie's songs instantly, and put it away a few times to listen to other music (Lucinda Williams and the White Stripes new records are terrific).

BUT, last night I listened to SYW twice - front through back, and I, for the first time, connected to both Red Rover and Say Goodbye. (listening through really good headphones helps immensely). It's funny how you sometimes don't get a song on the first listen, but it takes a while for the music.. the lyrics to sink in.

After listening to the record twice, I was laying in my bed with "Say Goodbye" stuck in my head.. amazing what a difference a week makes. Actually, I'm finding new things about the record - and I'm even ok with the sequencing. It just took.. well, a good week.

I can't say I skip anything at the moment - although I have overplayed 'Peacekeeper" since I had it so early, so if I had to pick one..it would be PK!
