Summary: Awesome CD!
Comment: I bought this CD because I'd heard a Sheryl Crow song I liked on the radio. I didn't realize how many songs she had recorded that I liked. I fell in love with several songs! She has so much variety in her voice, and an awesome range. I just bought tickets to her current concert tour.

Summary: These boots are made for walkin'
Comment: Way back when I was Noisy Papering, I remember, being tasked with reviewing John Mellencamp's Uh-Huh, seeing his liner notes "thank[ing] the Stones for their great records," as if he, puny usurping upstart, was, like, ready to take over for the glimmer geezers, or what. The nerve! At least Bon Jovi acknowledged his sloppy 2nd tier position in the holy pop pantheon, but, seriously, Mellencamp?
Anyway, here's his natural-born 2nd wife or something, Sheryl Crow, whose hottest jukebox spot is, appropriately enough, "Steve McQueen," not Paul Newman mind you, a 3-minute serving of Steve Miller almost sassy enough (check the 2nd verse) for the legendary Miss Britney Spears. Like all of Crow's repertoire, "Steve McQueen" traffics in corporate bohemianism; like, Linda Ronstadt's "Tumbling Dice."
If it makes you happy it can't be that bad, coffee, beers, cigarettes and hit-the-highway spunk, Alice doesn't live here anymore, Loretta Lynn summoned on tidy beams of California Hotel bling. This is waitress revenge music, safe and soft and occasionally irresistible. Calculated grumpiness, overdubbed hangover, show a little midriff, shake some fanny, "never give up" and bait the 'ol dudes.
I'm not the kinda girl you take home.
Did I actually say that???
Prindle, yo!
Plus, "Strong Enough," sorta Stevie Nicks, my ex used to play this all the time at 2am when our marriage was going down the potty.
The nerve!
Now, excuse me, I'm gonna paint my toenails.

Summary: Finally!
Comment: The Very Best of Sheryl Crow cd solved a problem of mine. I really like the song Picture (with Kid Rock.) No music site offered a cd, single or otherwise under his name. I was finally able to get the cd at a reasonable price & finally have a copy of one of my favorite songs.

Summary: a beautiful retrospective for an (equally) beautiful musician....
Comment: Sheryl Crow was perhaps one of the definitive voices of the 1990s through the early 2000s, and is definitely a wonderful tour de force performer today. THE VERY BEST OF SHERYL CROW gives us a look (and listen) at some of her most well-known (and well-loved) songs from her repertoire. The album gets started on a rousing and upbeat note with "All I Wanna Do," one of her first hits from 1993. This song always puts me in a disco dance floor/jukebox bar mode, from the first hook. Other great numbers on this album include "Soak Up the Sun," and Crow's tender cover of "The First Cut is the Deepest." Of course, this is only the icing on the cake. There are too many hits to mention here. Highly recommended.

Summary: Should have been better
Comment: The only reason to own this CD is for her rendition of "The first cut is the deepest"
Absolutely amazing. They left too many other great songs from her career only to include such songs like a duet with Kid Rock (which wasn't even her record)
Too bad considering the wealth on material that is available on her CD's

Editorial Reviews:
|
Despite the photographic presence of an acoustic guitar (the rock & roll equivalent of a rubber bullet), the enviably lovely hair and the unassuming knitwear, Sheryl Crow is staring back at us from the cover of The Very Best Of with her chin resting on a fist clenched tightly with white-knuckled defiance. This is, after all, the girl whose wishful thinking led her to sing "All I wanna do is have some fun" while privately preferring to either curl up in bed for a very long time or roll over and die (she's recently come out of the closet with regards to her longstanding battles with depression).Yes, she's earned herself an armful of Grammys and has been damned with faint praise, but if you go easy on the relatively troublesome second half of Sheryl Crow's 10-year solo career (the poppy optimism of songs like "C'mon C'mon" and "Soak Up the Sun" seems strained), then this decade-acknowledging resumé serves as a reminder of her narrative talents for summarising the pitfalls of burdensome workloads ("Everyday Is a Winding Road") and problematic squeezes ("My Favorite Mistake") within an MTV-friendly pop framework. --Kevin Maidment
