C'mon, C'mon - Sheryl Crow

I must be one of the few I know who didn't really know much of Sheryl Crow before she uttered that she didn't have digital or diddly-squat. I remember All I Wanna Do vaguely, mainly because my brother hated it and I kept confusing it, by some screwed-up force, with Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Because it's just so easy to confuse her with Cyndi Lauper. I'd like to add that as a child, I was rather stupid. That?s as much of an excuse as you?ll get from me. Anyway. The spring of 2002 lumbered into the lives of people everywhere, as springs (and other seasons) tend to do, carrying with it signs of the upcoming summer - a summer of sand and ...  Read the complete review

C'mon, C'mon marks the return for Sheryl Crow four years since her last studio album release. The album is a very sunny album with a happy vibe. This is illustrated by the artwork and colours on the album sleeve, yellow etc. Before I start to review the album I must first tell you to make sure you get the right edition as the UK version features 2 bonus tracks which are worth while getting, so check the track listing before you buy it! C'mon, C'mon, also features it fair share of guest appearances including Liz Phair, Don Henley, Stevie Nicks, Lenny Kravitz and even actress Gwyneth Paltrow! The critics have got the knives out for this ...  Read the complete review

It was nearly 10 years ago now that Sheryl Crow first perturbed the grounds of the British music industry with 'All I Wanna Do'. Since then, and the release of a further three albums, she has performed the theme tune to 'Tomorrow Never Dies' and 'Big Daddy', and had more than 10 Top 40 singles. And yet, her latest album has struggled to remain in the top 10, indeed the top 75, since its release earlier this year, despite the release of two strong singles, and even of those singles, neither has reached the top 10 in the UK. All this seems almost conclusive evidence that Sheryl Crow just hasn't got what she used to have; the sparkle ...  Read the complete review

The Globe Sessions were a great mix of dark, catchy lyrics and slick production, and with Sheryl heralding her new album as being made for Summer, it is easy to see how C'mon C'mon is different, and perhaps better, than her last album. The album oozes Summer, with its warm colours and glossy prints on the CD sleeve and the commerical, radio-friendly feel of some of the songs. Thats a compliment, by the way! The opener is 'Stevie McQueen', and many fans have raved about this song, although for me I found it to be a grower rather than an immediate hit. For me, the song that stood out for me on my first listen was 'Soak Up The Sun', a ...  Read the complete review

Having had all of her albums before, I knew that I had to have this one. I love Sheryl Crow’s individual style and she is really original. That also made me kind of scared to buy this album, as all the others were amazing – The Globe Sessions being my fave. I had heard the song Soak up The Sun and I have to admit I did not enjoy it and it nearly put me off buying this album, but I got through that and bought it anyway. As usual my credit card had a little trip out of hiding!! And I was pleasantly surprised. Soak up the Sun, in my humble opinion is one of the worst songs on this album. But the first song that came blasting out of my stereo was Steve ...  Read the complete review
