    One great song (Steve McQueen). The rest is mediocre-to-wretched.

    5 for the only 2 real Crow songs on this disc, "Soak" and "Original". The latter is the best song by a wide margin, a seemingly biting swipe at airheads like Spears and Aguilera and all their millions of analogues. I love Sheryl Crow's work but this disc is not even in the same league as her other three studio albums. Stevie Nicks may be a wonderful human being, but musically, 5 for the only 2 real Crow songs on this disc, "Soak" and "Original". The latter is the best song by a wide margin, a seemingly biting swipe at airheads like Spears and Aguilera and all their millions of analogues. I love Sheryl Crow's work but this disc is not even in the same league as her other three studio albums. Stevie Nicks may be a wonderful human being, but musically, she's the kiss of death lately. It was nice to hear Don Henley again. Fortunately, it won't take much time for Sheryl to try on a different persona and we can hope that one will make another good album. So far she's tried "groovy cool SoCal outsider" (10), "angry ballripper" (10), "devastated depressive" (10), and now "sunny well-heeled hippy chick with lots of famous friends who are no help" (5). I'm hoping for "country girl with a rocker's heart", which is what she really is, for the next persona. -danny Expand

  1. It's frustrating to imagine how much more power Crow could amp up by tattering the edges of her best songs and avoiding the crowd-pleasing delicacy that makes her sound like a Sheryl Crow cover band. Led by Bob Seger.
  2. A masterfully crafted collection that warmly recalls the era of album-driven FM rock radio.

    Crow's subtle, stirring vocal style exhibits the same resilient innocence that makes Meg Ryan a sympathetic screen star. [Apr/May 2002, p.115]
