The Globe Sessions – Sheryl CrowView More By Sheryl Crow Our ReviewThe sophomore slump may be a killer for musicians who’ve had a hit, but the third time out shows what they’re made of. After the spectacular success of Sheryl Crow’s first two platinum-selling releases, The Globe Sessions showcases a less radio-friendly but more musically mature sound: introspective and bluesy, with rawer, heavier guitars and some of the most emotional and nuanced singing of Crow’s career. “My Favorite Mistake,” the radio hit, sets a heartsick blue-eyed soul shuffle over lush Hammond B3 organ; “There Goes the Neighborhood” kicks off with discofied handclaps before morphing into a late-Stones rocker, complete with sultry alto sax. “Am I Getting Through” is a downbeat, vaguely psychedelic ballad before it goes literally off the hook, a hung-up, beeping phone signaling the song’s transition to jittery, over-caffeinated hard rock. Add in the giddy power-chord chorus of “Anything But Down,” the lovely, brooding, and Celtic-flavored “Riverwide,” and “Mississippi,” a well-chosen Dylan cover, and it’s clear Crow’s willingness to experiment can pay off. The unquestioned highlight here, though, is “The Difficult Kind,” one of the all-time great break-up ballads, spiked with both bitter remorse and the knowledge that remorse makes no difference in the end: “There ain’t nothing like regret/ To remind you you’re alive.” The Globe Sessions is the sound of an artist making music for herself, unafraid to show her vulnerability or her strengths.. Customer ReviewsMy favorite Sheryl Crow album (5 stars)People talk about how her first album was a collaboration between friends and how her second album was full of sonic trips and varied styles. This album seems to be just Sheryl Crow without all the toys and weirdness. It seems as though she just hit the studio with some musicians and a set of tracks to lay down and just layed them down. Play the music, sing the song, get the emotions into it, work the rhythm hard and get out in time for hap Sheryl Crow's Best Work (5 stars) After releasing two solid, successful CD's, Sheryl Crow came back in 1998 with her most personal album, and also her best. My Favorite Mistake and Anything But Down were big radio hits, but it's the album tracks here that are the most satisfying. There Goes The Neighborhood and Members Only are classic rockers, Riverwide is a great acoustic track, It Don't Hurt is a rocker with a country tinge, and the hidden Subway Ride is a catchy statemen From The Heart (5 stars) Sheryl Crow reaches a broad audience of people with a clear-spun and sultry voice, with stories in her songs that tell of life. The bluesy-soul-like sounds of this album make it a real sleeper - not as mainstream as others, but filled to the brim with jewels! A definite buy! BiographyBorn: February 11, 1962 in Kennett, MOGenre: Pop Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Sheryl Crow's fresh, updated spin on classic roots rock made her one of the most popular mainstream rockers of the '90s. Her albums were loose and eclectic on the surface, yet were generally tied together by polished, professional songcraft. Crow's sunny, good-time rockers and world-weary ballads were radio staples for much of the '90s, and she was a perennial favorite at Grammy time. Although her songwriting style was firmly anchored to the rock tradition, she wasn't a slave to it — her free-associative,...
