Free Music Notes for Wildflower
Free Music Review: Another really good CD
Hit: 4 Stars
I think Sheryl now has enough classic music to put her in the category as one of the best. This one is no exception. I would recommend this to any fan.
I think it's funny when reviewers get into the stars' personal lives. I read one review where they were 'sad Lance and her broke up'. Does that make the music sound different??? I guess I don't get it. Maybe Sheryl is too good for Lance. Hmmmm... maybe I'm gonna start my own gossip column... maybe not.
I will say I'm sure I'll buy Sheryl's next CD.
Free Music Review: Wildflower
Hit: 5 Stars
Sheryl Crow has consistently proven herself a talented musician and song writer. This is a good cd with great sound. Since I picked up Wildflower when it came out in 2005, there are now two additional editions.
The deluxe edition includes a bonus DVD with seven acoustic tracks: Where Has All the Love Gone, Letter to God, I Know Why, Perfect Lie, Lifetimes, Good Is Good, and Always on Your Side. It also has the video for "Good Is Good."
The bonus tracks edition adds an Always On Your Side remix as a bonus track. The standard cut of Always On Your Side is included as with the original edition as well.
It'll be hard to pick a favorite, but you still will really like each and every song.

I have been a Sheryl Crow fan ever since she used to background for Michael Jackson. When she secured a career of her own, she dropped plenty of classic or near-classic albums like Tuesday Night Music Club, C'mon C'mon and her self-titled album. Aside from The Globe Sessions, which got mixed reviews, I never had to think twice about giving one of her albums a high rating. But her latest, Wildflower, didn't turn out to be as fresh as I'd hoped.
The lead single "Good Is Good" is good is good -- WHAT'D I say? Anyway, aside from that song and possibly "I Know Why", the lyrical quality makes you wonder if Sheryl ran out of ideas. As other reviewers have mentioned, most of the songs are mellow, and in the words of a hit off her first album, they ain't strong enough. Songs like "Lifetimes" and "Chances Are" really don't go anywhere, and "Perfect Lie" could stand a rewrite or two. "I Don't Wanna Know" also has her hitting some odd notes during the chorus.
Surprisingly, the fast songs aren't that great either: "Live It Up" kind of comes off as the kind of song you'd hear from a pop star that was trying to cross over into contemporary rock. Basically, I'm still a devoted Sheryl Crow fan, but I advise everyone to only buy Wildflower for the same reason I bought it: to complete your Sheryl Crow collection.

Free Music Review: Brilliant!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've always considered Sheryl Crow to be a mediocre talent - sure I've sung along to songs like "All I wanna do" and "Every day is a winding road" and "Soak up the sun" on the radio - but did I BUY one of her CDs? Nah. This time there's something different. I heard "Good is good" first and was more impressed than usual. Then I heard "Always on your side" (the duet with Sting is even BETTER!) and I was hooked. I bought Wildflowers and can't stop listening to it. There's so much more depth than I ever expected. She put her heart and soul into this album and it shines. Thank you, Sheryl.Free Music Review: CROW IS BACK

It's too bad Sheryl Crow's relationship with Lance Armstrong has ended, as it apparantly served as the inspiration for what I think might be her finest album ever, "Wildflower."
Nearly every song on this album is a winner...and it includes two of the best songs she's ever recorded: the brilliant piano-based ballad, "Always On Your Side" (with it's lyrical referencing from Elton John's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight"), and the plea for peace anthem (was the spirit of John Lennon looking over her shoulder during the writing of this song?), "Where Has All The Love Gone?"
There aren't any flat out rockers (ala "There Goes The Neighborhood") here, but you will find a lot of strong songs, with excellent lyrics, and beautiful melodies.
"Wildflower" is Sheryl Crow at the top of her game.
