    I've never quite understood the allure of Sheryl Crow. Her first album had one good song on it. Her other offerings seemed to try to ape Madonna, but unlike Mrs. Ritchie, Crow can't sing. And she's no looker, either. So she returns to her first producer in a desperate attempt to remine gold. Not surprising. Sounds like it's time to detour back to your music class, Sheryl.

    Not her best work, very contemporary (read boring).

    Crow hasn't been this free or fine since "Sheryl Crow," but there is an emotional directness on Detours that makes this a progression, not a retreat.

    There's not a groan-worthy song on this standout rock/pop/folk/blues album.

    The roots-rock of Detours is old-school-sounding Crow now with a heightened consciousness of the world around her.
