The Very Best of Sheryl Crow

From Amazon.co.uk
Despite the photographic presence of an acoustic guitar (the rock & roll equivalent of a rubber bullet), the enviably lovely hair and the unassuming knitwear, Sheryl Crow is staring back at us from the cover of The Very Best Of with her chin resting on a fist clenched tightly with white-knuckled defiance. This is, after all, the girl whose wishful thinking led her to sing "All I wanna do is have some fun" while privately preferring to either curl up in bed for a very long time or roll over and die (she's recently come out of the closet with regards to her longstanding battles with depression).

Yes, she's earned herself an armful of Grammys and has been damned with faint praise, but if you go easy on the relatively troublesome second half of Sheryl Crow's 10-year solo career (the poppy optimism of songs like "C'mon C'mon" and "Soak Up the Sun" seems strained), then this decade-acknowledging resumé serves as a reminder of her narrative talents for summarising the pitfalls of burdensome workloads ("Everyday Is a Winding Road") and problematic squeezes ("My Favorite Mistake") within an MTV-friendly pop framework. --Kevin Maidment

Crow's Nest.......2007-06-15

This is a good and complete compilation of Crow's hits to the date of release of the album. A good summary of her work for those who just want 1 Cheryl CD. The album seems very much a piece of 90s culture.

The Very Best of Sheryl Crow.......2007-05-14

The CD was recieved in a damaged state.
I called customer service and after about a 5 minute conversation the service rep initiated a replacement.
I recieved the replacement the next day.

Not Bad,But..........2007-03-26

Not a Bad album-in fact for the Most part,it's pretty Good...but the Subaru ad's murdered any liking I've ever had for "Every Day is a Winding Road"-now,when I hear it,my first impulse is to curse and hit the Mute button. Thanks,Subaru...

Enjoyable yet not sensational.......2007-03-18

Although country rock is not a hundred percent my favourite (I would either go for Anouk or June Carter separately) I can't say it's that far either. So I purchased the CD knowing that I would be listening to it every now and then, yet very aware that it is not going to be my favourite. I was sort of right.

Although I like Sheryl's voice texture and some of her songs are good enough (All I wanna do, Picture, Every day is a winding road) I also found some others to be 'overcommercial', as in dagerously approaching pop (and I don't like the term 'pop-rock', pop and rock are miles apart), for example 'the first cut is the deepest' and 'I wanna soak up the sun'.

I was also disappointed that 'Tomorrow never dies' (The James Bond theme) was not included. And I have to admit, even though her 'Sweet child of mine' version is nothing like the original (which is my Guns n' Roses all time favourite) I would prefer it in the collection rather than others.

Overall, as a greatest hits collection is satisfactory, and if you are into this music you will probably like it. Most of Crow's known work is there, and is quite entertaining as well. The truth is, I bought it three years ago, listened to it a handful of times, and since then is has been living on my CD rank. I thought about selling it but at the end I decided to keep it. I don't know if this makes sense. If it doesn't I apologise...

Sheryl Crow.......2007-02-02

I enjoy the range of songs Sheryl Crow sings and it is nice to here all of her best hits on one cd. I just hope she continues churning out the great songs to make another greatest hits album!

Sheryl Pulls Off A Great Greatest Hits.......2007-01-18

I got this cd not knowing what to expect not yet being a Sheryl Crow fan. I found songs I had heard on the radio and didn't know it was her that sang them. I have fallen in love with this CD and because of it I've turned into a huge Sheryl Crow fan. My favorite song is Strong Enough because of insight it provides into the issues of trust and relationships but every song on this CD has really grown close to my heart. You will love this CD. If you aren't a Sheryl Crow fan yet you soon will be.

Perfect!.......2006-01-06

I never really considered myself a big Sheryl Crow fan until I happened upon this album. Then I realized that many songs I had heard and enjoyed before were hers (Favorite Mistake, If It Makes You Happy, A Change Would Do You Good). Of course, most people probably would know this, but I didn't. Anyway, for some reason I was inclined to buy it and it is hands down the best album I have ever bought. There is not one sub-par song on this CD. Crow is amazing and this CD has 17 songs that are very representative of that.

I couldn't have said it better myself.......2004-03-27

After four great studio albums (although The Globe Sessions is still receiving mixed reviews to this day) and a couple of live albums, Sheryl Crow decided to give us a compilation of her work, aptly titled The Very Best of Sheryl Crow. This collection starts things off right with her very first song, "All I Wanna Do". There are plenty of other favorites to be found too, from funky tracks like "Soak Up the Sun" and "There Goes the Neighborhood", to mellow jams like "Strong Enough" and "Home". There are also the necessary new songs "Light In Your Eyes" and a cover of Cat Stevens' "The First Cut Is the Deepest" (a country version of the latter is also featured as a bonus track).

Why not five stars? Well, if you're lucky enough to own the version of the album with the bonus DVD, you of course have the videos. And I think it would have been better if all the videos were of the same songs that are on the album in audio version. Also, "best of" collections generally consist of singles, so it's kind of weird to find "I Shall Believe" on here (not that it isn't a great song).

Like with most hits collections, people usually complain over what song(s) were left off. And I usually don't do this, but -- and in no way does this affect my rating -- the fact that "Can't Cry Anymore" isn't on here almost makes me want to do the opposite of what the song suggests. And since she put a duet on here that wasn't really hers (Kid Rock's "Picture"), why didn't she put "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" on here too? (I mean the live version, of course; it was Siedah Garrett singing on the album.)

Oh well, since I already own all of Sheryl's albums, those factors don't matter too much. If you've been sleeping and haven't discovered Sheryl Crow yet, then pick this collection up and get some schooling.

Fabulous... but..........2004-02-24

I bought the Import version of this CD and I love it. It has my favorite track, which is not included on the US version, "Let's Get Free". It also has "Run Baby Run," plus a version of "C'mon C'mon" featuring the Corrs. It costs more, but I bought it used and found a bargain. I highly recommend buying it instead of this version. The ASIN is B0000DBPHN.

Love Sheryl Crow..........2003-12-16

...But what happened to You're an Original. I'm not sure why this didn't make the album.

Awesome collection of all of her best.......2003-12-07

For those people who may be new to Sheryl Crow's music and want to start to get into it, this is a fantastic album to buy. With huge hits from the mid 1990's all the way up to her most recent hit "The First Cut Is The Deepest," This is the ultimate Crow collection. The only one thing I wish she would of done was added "Can't Cry Anymore" to the DVD portion of this deluxe edition, but still this contains all of her videos with the exception of "Can't Cry Anymore," Since the music video list is different from the track listenings I'll finish my review with all of the music videos on the DVD.
