Advantages: Some decent country tinged pop tracks Disadvantages: A bit bland and middle of the road
...Sheryl Crow as being a very middle of the road artist, kind of like a solo female version of Dire Straits - inoffensive, but not especially appealing. I'd vaguely enjoyed the singles she'd released, but without ever becoming a fan, seeing them as a kind of background music, the kind of pop with a slight country edge that my parents might enjoy, but which never really enticed me to make an album purchase.
This makes me the perfect market for a "Greatest ... ...Corrs, performing it.
It's very much back to the normal Sheryl Crow sound on "Light in Your Eyes". It's a bouncy, up-tempo pop track with a slight country sounding backing and a catchy chorus. What is slightly unusual for Sheryl Crow is that it's a more upbeat sounding song than many of the others and the first that really gets your foot tapping.
There's more of a rock intro to "If it Makes You Happy" that, much like "Leaving Las Vegas" carries ...

Advantages: Generally good strong melodic songs Disadvantages: Some weak, clichéd songs, where better tracks could have been used.
...a very Americanised written account of Sheryl Crow's musical biography. One of Crow's biggest fans is none other than Eric Clapton, who's more than happy to accommodate her on stage at his live gigs when she often puts in a guest appearance. So this woman needs little recommendation from me. ...

Advantages: Some good songs, mostly upbeat. Disadvantages: Some middle-of-the-road songs, a bit boring.
...song, I just think it's very well done; A change would do you good - upbeat and reminds me of being a teenager; There Goes the Neighbourhood - again just upbeat and singalong.
The other tracks such as All I wanna do and Everyday is a Winding road are enjoyable and just what you would expect from Sheryl Crow but just miss being favourites for me - perhaps due to overplay as they are her most popular songs?
I did enjoy this album but always keep ... ...I don't like/can't be bothered with. I would say the album is worth having as I like roughly half of the songs and don't mind the rest but you would have to be a fan of some description to even contemplate owning it. I like it but my cats certainly don't - I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing! ...

Advantages: You get exactly what the album says, her greatest hits Disadvantages: Absolutely none
The Very Best Of Sheryl Crow :- This is by far not only one of the best greatest hits album but one of the best albums I have bought in the last 6 months. It has so many great tracks including 'run baby run', 'soak up the sun', 'home', 'all I wanna do'....It also includes 5 bonus tracks including one with Kid Rock. It's a lively upbeat album and you'll want to sing your heart out to each track you hear.
If you like Sheryl Crow but didn't get round ...

Advantages: If you like sheryl crow you know most of the songs Disadvantages: only a couple of new songs here - don't really think thats a disadvantage though
In no uncertain terms this has got to be the best sheryl crow album ever released. Jam packed with song after song that you've bound to have forgotten about (If it makes you happy and a change would do you good) but remember the words to as soon as it comes on. Sheryl Crow not only makes country music sexy but makes it more popular with those who would hate to admit they listen to country music. Full of chart toppers and an amazing duet with kid ... ...week for the past four weeks) and singing along. The songs are pretty easy going and unlike some singers the lyrics actually make some sense. Some of my favourite songs include All I Wanna Do and Everyday Is A Winding Road, most songs share the same sort of low toned country music with fantastic acoustic guitar in the foreground. When I listen to this cd it gives a more elevated, light heartedness feeling and what a fantastic individual voice she ...
