Editorial Review:
Sceptics who attributed the success of Sheryl Crow's 1994 debut, Tuesday Night Music Club, to a combination of Crow's seductive good looks and a shrewd choice of collaborators have been effectively silenced by the range and depth of songs and performances on her self-produced, pointedly self-titled sequel. Playing guitars and keyboards, and building a triumphant, layered vocal style, Crow is tough as nails and drolly soulful on the deft "Change", as noteworthy for Crow's crafty lyrics ("Hello, it's me, I'm not at home/ If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone...") as for its solid, mid-tempo groove. "Maybe Angels", "If It Makes You Happy", and "Everyday Is a Winding Road" are only the most familiar highlights in a varied and absorbing set that argues Crow is no one's invention but her own. --Sam Sutherland

Sherl's best album to date I have all Sheryl Crow's albums and I would say this is the best. Inc :- Every Day Is A Winding Road, If It make's You Happy and A Change Would Do You Good. I would also recommend Detours, C'mon C'mon and Tuesday Night Music Club. If you like depressing go for Wild Flowers and The Globe Session. I don't particulaly like these one's myself. But other fan's might.
Mid tempo rock This is not an immediate album, it takes a while to appreciate its considerable worth.

The album opens with the heavy track Maybe Angels, which is followed by the catchy pop-rock of A Change Will Do You Good. The lovely tender ballad Home is a folky interlude, Sweet Rosalyn is a tuneful rock ballad and If It Makes You Happy a... more info
An Upcoming Star! This 1996 album shows a lot of promise in who is now known as Sheryl Crow. The sum of the thirteen songs is played somewhat too safe and a tad clunky, but she finds herself in a few gems. Almost like a female "Eagles", Ms. Crow exhibits talent in many styles.
"Ordinary Mornings" has her screaming the blues with a great guitar lead that matches her vocals. "Torch Song" makes for a good bluesy number also with a nice guitar lead. If you're looking for a little country-western rock, "Redemption Day" easily... more info
a must have for your collection This album came out in 95 in a flurry of gossip and rumour following the massive top 5 hit all i wanna do. Was sheryl any good? Could she actually sing? Did she write her own stuff? YES YES YES- this album proved the whole music industry wrong, sporting top 10 hits *If it makes you happy*, *Winding road*, *Home* and *A change*. I've been listening to this album for 5 or more years now and it doesnt tire, the music is so fresh, so effortless and has a sincerity that is sometimes lacking from her newer... more info
