Free Music Notes for The Very Best of Sheryl Crow Album
Free Music Review: A good, but incomplete, hits collection.
Hit: 4 Stars
I love Sheryl Crow's music and wanted this to be a five-star album, but it simply isn't. While the liner notes obsessively detail Crow's chart successes and Grammy wins, the CD's tracks do not, making for a slightly uneven collection.
Yes, the biggest hits ("Strong Enough," "All I Wanna Do," "If It Makes You Happy") are here, and so are some small ones ("Leaving Las Vegas" and "Home"), but bona fide Top 40 hits like "Can't Cry Anymore" and the TERRIFIC "Anything But Down" are completely ignored. And the Grammy-nominated non-album track "I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday" is left off, in favor of non-hit material like "The Difficult Kind" and the grate-on-your-nerves song "There Goes The Neighborhood" (possibly the worst song Crow recorded in the '90s).
Both the new songs are good (with "The Firt Cut Is The Deepest" being the catchiest of the two), and show Crow back on track after her less-than-stellar "C'Mon C'Mon" album. And while it is great to have new songs on any "best of" CD, does this collection really need TWO versions of "The First Cut Is the Deepest"? The spot taken up by the second version (which is not very different from the initial version) would have been better spent including one of the ignored hits, the terrific rock song "C'Mon C'mon" or "Riverwide," which is, hands down, one of Crow's best recordings.
This CD is very good overall, but may be a little disappointing to longtime fans and supporters of Crow's career, due to the uneven track selection. Still, Crow's worst music is better than 99.9% of the stuff being mass-marketed today, so pick up the disc.
