Free Music Review: A Top Notch Recording
Hit: 5 Stars

This album has received very mixed reviews, with many critics citing the album as being too 'pop like' and uninspired when compared with previous recordings. Admittedly, Crow has changed her style a little since her last album, The Globe Sessions, but rather than detracting from the quality of the album, it has the opposite effect.

This album is still typically Crow, and after playing the album several times I am of the opinion that it is as good as previous work, although a little different. It is ironic that some chameleon - like artists such as Madonna are praised both by fans and critics when they change their musical style, whilst Sheryl Crow has been blasted by many fans and critics for her change in style. It must be remembered that changes in style are what keep artists fresh. It is also worth remembering that despite some critics claiming that Crow has sold out a little by making a 'poppy',' commercial' album, in order to get Top 40 airplay, her earlier recordings were also very successful commercially, with many of her earlier songs getting heavy airplay.

'Steve McQueen' rocks along, whilst 'It's Only Love, the emotion of which many will identify with, pulls on the heartstrings without becoming overly sappy ,as does 'Abilene'. 'Lucky Kid' could become a modern rock classic, whilst 'Weather Channel' gives the impression of being lonely and on the verge of breakdown (e.g. the lyric 'it might not fix the hinges, but at least the door has stopped its creaking'). All the above are excellent tracks that are typically Crow, as is the fantastic 'Safe and Sound' which is in a similar vein to 'Tomorrow Never Dies'

'Soak Up The Sun' is fun and summery, and a little 'poppy', but thought has gone into the lyrics all the same. 'My friend the communist/ Holds meetings in his RV/ I can't afford his gas/ So I'm stuck here watching TV'.

'You're An Original' is a biting satire on the current state of the music industry. Whilst the track has a decidedly 'poppy' sound, it criticises the music industry and the 'pop stars' that are 'chewed up and spit out' so routinely in the industry. 'You're an original baby/ Like we've never seen before/ You're an original baby/ Turn around and you're looking at a hundred more' and 'Here today, gone by morning' It really is inspired.

Below is a list of brief opinions on each track.

1) Steve McQueen - Rocks along nicely, with witty references to Crow's rise to fame and the current state of the music industry 'We got rock stars in the White House/ All our pop stars look likeporn/ All our heroes hit the highway/They don't hang out here no more.' 5/5

2) Soak Up The Sun - Pop influenced number, but some thoughtful lyrics too. 4/5

3) You're An Original - Mainstream sound only heightens the effect of this biting satire on the present state of the music industry, given even more weight due to Lenny Kravitz's collaboration. Great hook to boot. 5/5

4) Safe And Sound - Highly Polished number akin to 'Tomorrow Never Dies' 4/5

5) C'mon C'mon - Not particularly awe-inspiring when compared to the rest of the album. Whilst not a bad track it pales in comparison to the rest of the album. 3/5

6) It's So Easy - Another fabulous duet with, this time with Eagles front man Don Henley. 4/5
7) Over You - pulls on the heartstrings without becoming overly sappy. 5/5

8) Lucky Kid - A real rock classic with a particularly infectious hook .5/5

9) Diamond Road - I like this track, although it sounds familiar, and some may find it a bit sappy ' Walk with me the diamond road/ Tell me every story told'. 4/5

10) It's Only Love - A very introspective song that strikes a chord with anyone who has ever felt lonely. 'Sometimes lonely/ Isn't only a word/The faces I have known'. 5/5

11) Abilene - An emotional song about the naïve approach we can often take to love and the way we can all too easily 'wear our heart on our sleeve' 5/5

12) Hole In My Pocket - A 'poppy' song with a great beat, and thoughtless, but fun, lyrics. 3/5

13) Weather Channel - Probably my favourite track, is a ditty about suicide.Crow's vocals and lyrics give us an impression of someone on the edge of a breakdown. 'Can you make it better for me', ' I got no-one/ Who will bring me a big umbrella' and 'It may not fix the hinges, but at least the door has stopped its creaking' 5/5

Although this album may signify a slight change in direction for Crow, with a few 'poppy' sounding songs, it is hardly a huge departure from her earlier work. The lyrics, when studied, are first rate as usual, the shining examples being the deeply satirical 'You're An Original' and 'Weather Channel'. Apart from the thoughtless 'C'mon C'mon' and 'Hole In My Pocket' this is top notch Sheryl Crow.
