Editorial Review:

Sheryl Crow has only been around since 1993, when she made her triumphant debut, but Live From Central Park is still a welcome opportunity to revisit her already bulging back catalogue. The quality of the songs ("All I Wanna Do", "Leaving Las Vegas", "A Change Would Do You Good", "Everyday Is A Winding Road") is assured. Moreover, the calibre of the special guests who joined Sheryl in Central Park in September 1999 (Chrissie Hynde, Stevie Nicks, Dixie Chicks) ensures that this is a well-above-average live souvenir. Keith Richards ("it's great to be here; it's great to be anywhere!") chips in with one of Sheryl's favourite Stones songs, "Happy"; while Eric Clapton helps out on a gutsy "White Room". Crow closes the album alongside Keith and the Chicks, with Bob Dylan's boisterous "Tombstone Blues". This is that rare thing: a live album that goes some way towards replicating the special nature of a concert. --Patrick Humphries

A CD like this always shows me how far a particular artist has come since their debut release, with... more info

• Why release this?
  I'm sorry to say this, but this live album should not have been released. Although the musicianship is fine, the cast of friends first-rate and the songs are strong, Sheryl's voice is most definitely not. Her voice sounds tired and she seems to be having trouble keeping in tune. I was really shocked that Sheryl (supposedly a perfectionist) would allow this to be released. The only track worth the money is Stevie Nicks' rendition of her classic song "Gold Dust Woman", and tellingly, Sheryl only sings backup... more info

• You either like her or you don't
  ....You searched for Sheryl Crow and so you obviously areintent on buying her stuff - if you like her, this album is a perfectexample of what she is worth...the fact that she is playing with some of the most famous music stars from around the world is an added bonus. Some tracks such as TombStone Blues are a lil too over-sophisticated, but tracks such as Strong Enough and The Difficult Kind are brilliant collaborations and amazing listening. If you have even hummed a Sheryl Crow song to yourself in the... more info
