Sheryl Crow – Sheryl CrowView More By Sheryl Crow Our ReviewAfter the multi-platinum success of her debut album, Sheryl Crow could've coasted on her second. Instead, she took a bold leap into unknown territory with her 1996 self-titled release, weaving strands of alternative rock, '60s psychedelia and hip-hop into an ever-surprising whole. Flower Power guitar lines snake around techno grooves and folk-rooted melodies throughout these tracks. But Sheryl Crow is more than a kaleidoscopic combination of pop styles - it also displays Crow's newly-sharpened lyric thrust. "A Change Would Do You Good" glides on a gushing stream of wordplay, while"Everyday is a Winding Road" is infused with expansive idealism. "Love is a Good Thing" takes on dangerous targets (Wal-Mart, no less!), balancing the rueful angst of "If It Makes You Happy" and the clear-eyed regret of "Home." Whether she's mocking the world's absurdities or revealing her scars, Crow flies high and proud on this risk-taking release.. Customer ReviewsHome is beautiful... the rest is solid (5 stars)A solid album and one of her best I think. This is coming from a guy who doesn't much like lite style rock (a genre I think a lot of her work fits into)... but there are songs on here that transcend whatever genre they belong to. "Home" has to be one of my all time favorites. After several years, I can't stop playing it on guitar and singing along. The slide guitar in the song is just perfect... as is everything else about it. &quo One of the Most Subtly Subversive Albums Ever (5 stars) Sheryl Crow’s self-titled album is catchier than Prince, and more subversive than Rage Against the Machine. When most rockers want to scream bloody murder from the top of rooftops, Sheryl does something infinitely more intriguing. She plants a seed of dissent that allows the listener to grow. Perhaps that’s why you’ll find Sheryl Crow on the shelves of hard-rock fans as well as soft-rocker types. Her message is more approachable, and Sheryl's Best (5 stars) With many hoping her to flop on her second album (possibly even myself), Sheryl Crow came out with a gem of great music, in my opinion her best work ever. I was not a big fan of hers before this album, but between this and The Globe Sessions, she had me won over. The big hits on this album were "If It Makes You Happy", "Everyday is A Winding Road" and "A Change Would Do You Good." Although these are all good, 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,...
