Free Music Notes for DetoursFree Music Review: Almost a 1960s Political Album Hit: 4 StarsI love Sheryl Crow's music and watching her journey. This album starts with the surprising political song, "Bless this Mess" recorded to emulate a scratchy 50s or 60s protest song and the effect is excellent. The album continues with great political songs that will be upsetting to some like "Gasoline" which is really over the top to almost funny.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have enough material for a full folk/political album and reverts to many types of songs. Some I really like. But the album becomes uneven and doesn't have good flow. I'm not saying this is a bad album, in fact, I liked it very much. But I would prefer that their be more symetry in the album. That is the only reason I didn't rate this very enjoyable item with the highest ranking possible.

Free Music Review: Brilliant - and I wasn't even a fan! Hit: 5 StarsI have to confess I've never really gotten into Sheryl Crow. I never disliked her, I just generally drift towards towards the college radio genre and singer songwriters like Josh Ritter. For some reason a few weeks ago I decided I would listen to the sample of the first song on this album - God Bless This Mess. I downloaded the album moments later. I was really caught off guard and amazed by the incredible quality of this album. The songs are incredibly person and as beautiful as poetry. I've listened to this album non stop for about a week now and I'm still discovering things.
Even if you are an unlikely fan I suggest you give this album a try - you'll like it! Presently, the title track is my favorite!
