Free Music Review: A Very Mature Album From A True Talent
Hit: 5 Stars
After the commercial and critical triumph of her self-titled sophomore album, Sheryl Crow returned in late 1998 with her third album "The Globe Sessions." Sheryl's first two albums, 1993's "Tuesday Night Music Club" and 1996's "Sheryl Crow," were both rather accessible and commercial albums that appealed to a wide audience. The Globe Sessions is definitely not that. This is the kind of album that you may hate to start with, but stick with it and continue to listen and, as if by magic, you'll find yourself loving every second of it.
The Globe Sessions opens with arguably Sheryl's finest single to date, "My Favorite Mistake." This radio-friendly song hit the UK Top 10, and was a big hit in other countries. Catchy guitars match Sheryl's wonderful vocals to form a very mellow and funky rock anthem. Things just get even better with "There Goes The Neighborhood." This, for me, is definitely the best song that Sheryl has released as a single. It's a true rock anthem, with very funky verses. The clapping is just awesome, and Sheryl's lyrics display a tone never seen before in her music. "Riverwide" is very much like "Home" from Sheryl's self-titled second album in that it is totally chilled-out and extremely relaxing. A soft guitar slowly twangs, and Sheryl's vocals have a distinct melody about them.
"It Don't Hurt" is another one of the album highlights. Sheryl's vocals on this song are distinct and fresh. They match perfectly with the country/rock feel to the song. The lyrics are, as usual, great. "Maybe That's Something" is a great song with some great vocals and a fantastic melody, but it does pale a bit in comparison to most of the other songs on the album. "Am I Getting Through (Part I & II)" is another album highlight. The song starts off slow, with very vivid verses that paint a variety of colours in the mind, before a hardcore chorus bursts out and rocks the whole set. The stark contrast between the verses and choruses is chilling, and makes this song one of Sheryl's finest ever. "Anything But Down" was the third single to be released from this album, and it's extremely good. A tragic tale of a broken relationship infects the song with depression, which in turn reflects with some wonderful lyrics and very strong vocals.
Nearly all the songs have been amazing up to this point, but they all tremble before the monster that is "The Difficult Kind." This song is the true masterpiece from The Globe Sessions. Sheryl sings once more of a failed relationship, with wonderful nostalgia. The lyrics are awesome and very though-provoking, and the song peaks with the line, "What you remember of me tonight, well it almost makes me cry." The listener will no doubt feel the same. "Mississippi" is yet another one of my favourite songs from this album. The depression is lifted from the album at this point. The dark clouds lift, and we are treated to a much more cheerful Sheryl. Wonderful instruments remind of 70's rock 'n' roll, while the vocals are equally influenced. Perhaps the most up-tempo song on the album, it goes down a storm.
"Members Only" is just a funny and happy song. The vocals are extremely entertaining and, despite it's difference to the rest of the album in mood terms, it still goes down a treat. "Crash And Burn" is a very strange song. The song doesn't have much of a beat or melody to it, but it is a great song to chill out and relax to. Sheryl vocals almost top "Ordinary Morning" from her previous album in terms of power. "Resuscitation" is a great mid-tempo song, with a brilliant start. There's really nothing more I can say apart from that it is yet another fantastic song from the best woman in modern day rock!
OVERALL GRADE: 10/10
My version of The Globe Sessions does not feature the hit "Sweet Child 'O Mine," which is a bit of a disappointment. However, with the stunning range of songs on this album, it isn't really needed. I'd like to express my opinion on the main review by an Amazon critic. I know it was his opinion, but it's just plain wrong! Sheryl is not bored or using the same old method over and over again on this album. If anything, she is trying harder than ever before. Even in her vocals you can sense the need and determination that she has to push her talents further - and she does, in fantastic style. All in all, I cannot express how much you need to buy this album. Almost every song is stunning, and it is with this album that Sheryl surely went down in rock 'n' roll history as one of the greatest female performers ever.
