Product Description

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 Favourite Mistake") within an MTV-friendly pop framework. Questionably, such gems as the James Bond theme "Tomorrow Never Dies" and the US abortion issue commentary of "Hard to Make a Stand" (both sizeable UK hits) have been omitted to make room for three new tracks, two of which, the evangelical "Light in Your Eyes" and the post-9/11 "Let's Get Free" betray the influences of George Harrison and the Beatles. --Kevin Maidment

5.0 out of 5 stars Soak up the sun, Sep 11 2006
This review is from: Very Best Of (Audio CD)
Sheryl Crow has been a singer I have enjoyed ever since I first heard her on the radio. As a best of cd, this ones very good. Like some other reviewers on here I still remember the first time I heard Soak Up the Sun and All I Wanna Do on the radio. I also love First Cut Is the Deepest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great compilation, Nov 4 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Very Best Of (Audio CD)
I've always liked Sheryl Crow but I never bought any of her albums. So I was very happy that she released a greatest hits and I was not disappointed. A great compilation! I bought in Canada so maybe the tracklisting has tiny changes, but I think it's the same at the US:

1. All I Wanna Do
2. Soak Up The Sun
3. My Favorite Mistake
4. First Cut Is The Deepest, The
5. Everyday Is A Winding Road
6. Leaving Las Vegas
7. Strong Enough
8. Light In Your Eyes
9. If It Makes You Happy
10. Difficult Kind, The
11. Picture - (with Kid Rock)
12. Steve McQueen
13. Change Would Do You Good, A
14. Home
15. There Goes The Neighborhood
16. I Shall Believe
17. First Cut Is The Deepest, The - (bonus track, country version)

The tracks that I love from Sheryl Crow are: Tracks 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 & 13. Basically all her biggest hits. I also like tracks 4 & 6. All the songs are good in fact. The only songs that are missing and that I would've liked to have are "Sweet Child O Mine" because I thought she did a great job covering the Guns N Roses classic and also the theme from James Bond. But no compilation is perfect and I'm glad that they at least included the huge majority of the hits. Highly recommended!
