New Sheryl Crow

[Rumours]

Kisseversary gift???? Oh I'm almost afraid to hear what the next anniversary coming up is!!!!!! LOL

Anywho, this new baby is sitting right in front of me as I type this....finally took it OUT of the cd player. Now, I just got it yesterday afternoon, when it came out, so I haven't really had a chance to get used to these songs and let them all sink in and for all the songs to grow on me, but right now I can tell ya some quick favorites are Soak Up The Sun, Steve McQueen, You're An Original, C'mon C'mon, Diamond Road (now I love Stevie on C'mon C'mon, I think you can hear her pretty well....but I don't think you can hear her well enough on Diamond Road, so I'm disappointed with that). And I also love love love You're Not The One (thank you again, Pip!!), and I still say it's every bit as good as these songs that are on the album and it should have made it onto the album....for goodness sake, it's almost like this is the Silver Springs of Sheryl's album!!!! lol Ok, not quite Silver Springs caliber, but you get my drift!!!!
I DO NOT like Sheryl's version of It's Only Love though.......It's Only TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!! Overall, a great album, and I'm happy to ride around in my car, in 90 degree heat with my windows down, blasting this sucker!!!! Hello summer--I'm ready for ya!!!!

".. we got rockstars in the white house, all our popstars look like porn.."

I wonder if she was singing about herself. :-) I'm really loving 6 songs on the cd. That's usual for me when it comes to Sheryl. All of her albums have about 5 or 6 songs that I love - definitely makes buying the album worth it. I love Steve McQueen and C'mon, C'mon (even if you can only hear Stevie in her macygray-bombaysapphire back-up vocal). "Over You" is another favorite. I think it's when she sings "i wanna get over you.. but you're everywhere." I love how the music sways in "Diamond Road".. and I really like "It's Only Love." I can't say I like it better than Stevie's version, and I can't say I like Stevie's version better, either. I really like them both - maybe it's just a great little song. Didn't Sheryl write it for Stevie? maybe's that's how she is paying tribute to Stevie by having this song on the record. And you wouldn't expect Stevie to perform backup on a tribute to her, would you?? Yes, I like Sheryl's take on this song very much.

One artist that I'm always drawn to is Neil Young. Like Stevie and Fleetwood Mac, I always buy his record on the day of release. I must admit that his new album that came out last week is excellent. Neil rarely disappoints me. And, as good as it is, Sheryl's new CD has been what I've been listening to since I bought it on tuesday. Any album that keeps me interested is always a 'pretty good" album in my book. Along with Young's "Are You Passionate," I think C'mon, C'mon is going to be one of my summer of '02 cds. :-)

p.s. Abiline (in her "If It Makes You Happy" groove), is another one I've been repeating. "...well you make it much too hard.."

one last thought.. I can't connect with "Weather Channel" at all. I find it to be a very flat ending.

I couldn't agree with you more....TOO MUCH production for such a simple song....

[laurarox]

Yeah, I'm loving the cd. I'm definitely diggin It's Only Love, Soak Up the Sun, You're an Original, Cmon Cmon the whole thing.

But can that really be Stevie on Diamond Road? Its so high. She can't sing that high, can she?

i looooove this line it sorta sums up the state of music.....you got rockstars ie Bono AND Sheryl doing their political thing from within 'The Whitehouse' where as a while ago they would concentrate on writing protest songs. And Popstars are marketed like pornstars...not so much for their musical talents but in what way they can show off as much of their skin to the world

I wonder if she was singing about herself. :-)

I like Neil Young too but we have only got two ancient albums in our house but these are much loved and played.....'Harvest' and 'After The Gold Rush' ...must update the collection.

I am not sure you would truly want to connect with that one...LOL!! Depression and suicide...nasty topics.....but succinctly put in this little 'ditty' called Weather Channel'(quote Sheryl).

I'm just curious - Is it only me that is kinda annoyed that "It's Only Love" appears on this album and TISL? I can see how Stevie probably wanted and also felt obligated to included a Sheryl song on TISL seeing how Sheryl was the producer and such a great friend. But then Sheryl includes it on her own album. Seems kind of like a waste to me to put it on TISL. Personally I wish Stevie would have left "It's Only Love" off and put one of her own songs on there. Then to top it all off, Sheryl doesn't even include "You're Not the One" on her album but puts it as a B side. Kinda irks me a little. oh well.

Stevie is not singing on Diamond Road. There is no mention of her being on that song in the liner notes and I certainly can't hear her

Stevie is credited for quest vocals on Diamond Road

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Wherebouts??? As I can't see her mentioned on that song on my copy??

My copy has the lyrics then the following...

Sheryl Crow>Vocal, Bass. Tim Smith>Electric Guitar, Bass. Peter Stroud. Electric Guitar, Lead Guitar.....and so on. No mention of guest vocals at all All the other guest vocals come right after Sheryls name.

I have listened to the CD quite a few times and really like Diamond Road but did not notice Stevie was on it, but she is indeed credited with guest vocals and now with another listen I guess I can barely make her out.

[FiercestCalmSea]

Yup she is credited..in my booklet it is as follows:Sheryl Crow-Vocals,Bass,Stevie Nicks-guest vocals,Tim Smith-electric guitars..etc...

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Well how weird. Mine definately does no credit Stevie as being on that track!!! Any other Uk bods see Stevie's name there???

Pip

[BellaDonnaGypsy]

WTF?! She's not credited in my CD booklet!

Laura.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Hmmm....so how come Stevie is credited on the US cd's but not the Brit ones...

Pip

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

So is she on it or isn't she??? WHo's booklet is correct. Did the Brit ones omit her in error or did the US ones add her by mistake. I can't hear her at ll on this track so maybe the US ones have the typo. What do you think guys??
