Sheryl Crow

Tuesday Night Music Club

Thematically, Detours may not seem like much of a detour to Sheryl Crow fans. Her politics pour out of these songs the way you might expect them to if you caught wind of her epic cross-country bus trip, with the activist Laurie David, to promote environmental awareness months prior to this release. From the quiet, faraway-sounding opener "God Bless This Mess"--a novel in a song--to the catchy but thought-provoking "Gasoline," it's clear that Crow has more on her mind these days than soaking up the sun or having a little fun, à la the Tuesday Night Music Club era. Yet there's not a groan-worthy song on this standout rock/pop/folk/blues album. If the themes are heavy (in addition to the political songs, there's an almost painfully tender lullaby for her son Wyatt and one, "Make It Go Away [Radiation Song]," that touches on her breast-cancer experience), the mood is cathartic, determined, hopeful at times and sad at others. "Now That You're Gone" grabs at clarity through the clouds of a devastating love affair and gets it, and "Peace Be Upon Us" picks apart pettiness and arrives at a wide-minded beauty. George Harrison seems present in some of these songs, especially the more personal ones ("Drunk with the Thought of You," "Love Is All There Is"). And that may be the highest compliment that Sheryl Crow, who seems to admire his gentle soul and shares his big heart, could ask for. --Tammy La Gorce

OUT OF OUR HEADS	Customer Rating: 4 out of 5
Got to spend most of a day recently with Sheryl Crow when she preformed two shows with James Taylor at TANGLEWOOD in western Mass.You will find two songs will jump out at you LOVE IS FREE and OUT OF OUR HEADS .These songs are infectious and brilliant .You will have to jump up and dance or grab some drum sticks and start banging on something .Highly recommend this CD .Until I met her I thought "I just wanna have fun " , after seeing her "live" I know her as true "professional" musician .
Detours by Sheryl Crow	Customer Rating: 5 out of 5
What a great album! Sheryl Crow seems to just get better and better with each new album she comes out with. Can't wait for her to release another one.
Sloppy Cheryl Crow is slipping!	Customer Rating: 1 out of 5
This album really has no musically appeal or even songs that are in the least bit interesting. The words and themes are like little baby songs or juvenile and very boring. Her sing song, whiny voice is awful and I can't stand to hear it again. She can't sing and her guitar playing is always the same, three chords. Her lame song about Lance dumping her is cry baby crap! She really needs guitar lessons or something. Maybe she could play power chords in a punk rock band.(That's with an electric guitar and distortion Cheryl) That makes more sense to me and she has the looks for a female sex object in an all male, skinhead type band. The she can rock on. That's what she tells everybody she wants to do. Go get em Cheryl "the Rocker" Crow!
Sheryl Crow is still on top of her game	Customer Rating: 4 out of 5
I didn't think Sheryl would be able to top or even match the excellent Wildflower album, but she did with 2008's Detours. This CD seems to bring together Crow's classic rock, country, and pop styles together in the perfect blend. Detours as a whole is a little more upbeat than Wildflowers - almost in the way that her self-titled album is to her debut. My favorite track here is the rocking Gasoline. I love that song. Love Is Free is also an instant classic. If you like Sheryl Crow this is a great CD. Other highlights include the lofi opener God Bless This Mess, Shine Over Babylon, Out Of Our Heads, and the spiritual Peace Be Upon Us.
Possibly Sheryl Crow's best CD	Customer Rating: 5 out of 5
I was slow to pick this CD up because it did not get great reviews when it came out. Since I purchased it two months ago, it has not left my CD player. It's hard to say for sure if this is her very best CD (the other candidate is "The Globe Sessions"), because this is a more uneven effort. The highs, however, are higher than anything she has done before. Has Sheryl Crow ever had a finer moment than "Peace Be Upon Us"? I don't think so. Every time I listen to that song, it sends chills up and down my body--and to call it deeply moving is the understatement of the year. "Gasoline" is also one of her best songs ever. Other high points on this CD include the title track, "Detours," and "Drunk With The Thought Of You". There are only a few clunkers ("Diamond Ring" quickly comes to mind), but in the context of many amazing tracks, they are not an issue. It saddens me that more than a few have felt the need to shoot down this CD because they may disagree with its politics (which ignores the music itself, which is beyond reproach). Those that do are missing out on some of the best music Sheryl Crow has ever made, let alone some of the best music of these times.
