Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0602517570030 Label: A&M Manufacturer: A&M MPN: 001059902 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: A&M Release Date: February 05, 2008 Studio: A&M Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Thematically, Detours may not seem like much of a detour to Sheryl Crow fans. Her politics pour out of these songs the way you might expect them to if you caught wind of her epic cross-country bus trip, with the activist Laurie David, to promote environmental awareness months prior to this release. From the quiet, faraway-sounding opener "God Bless This Mess"--a novel in a song--to the catchy but thought-provoking "Gasoline," it's clear that Crow has more on her mind these days than soaking up the sun or having a little fun, à la the Tuesday Night Music Club era. Yet there's not a groan-worthy song on this standout rock/pop/folk/blues album. If the themes are heavy (in addition to the political songs, there's an almost painfully tender lullaby for her son Wyatt and one, "Make It Go Away [Radiation Song]," that touches on her breast-cancer experience), the mood is cathartic, determined, hopeful at times and sad at others. "Now That You're Gone" grabs at clarity through the clouds of a devastating love affair and gets it, and "Peace Be Upon Us" picks apart pettiness and arrives at a wide-minded beauty. George Harrison seems present in some of these songs, especially the more personal ones ("Drunk with the Thought of You," "Love Is All There Is"). And that may be the highest compliment that Sheryl Crow, who seems to admire his gentle soul and shares his big heart, could ask for. --Tammy La Gorce Amazon.com: Sheryl Crow is set to release her sixth studio album, DETOURS. The album marks the return of producer Bill Bottrell, who previously worked with Crow on her breakthrough debut album Tuesday Night Music Club, which earned the singer three Grammy Awards, and sold more than ten million copies worldwide. "This is the most honest record I've ever made. It's about being forced to wake up," says Crow. Sheryl Crow Photos

 Rating:  - Be careful, Only three or four songs are worth. Coming from Sheryl Crow, I was expecting something more original, professional, and creative. But I'm patient guy, so I guess, better wait for the next album to come out. Rating:  - I'm still waitingGawd I love Sheryl Crow!! but I'm still waiting for her to bring it back around. She is the real deal do understand that. It's like she is trying too hard, digging too deep and then kind of patching it all together to give us this gift. As many have said, lots going on in her head.... cause she is all grown up!!! with even more responsibilities (last track) but like Annie Lennox and Melissa Etheridge it's all about the cause... the political cause. We hear it constantly, we read it daily now we have ... Read More Rating:  - Reminds me of her first CD...This CD reminds me of Sheryl's first CD, Tuesday Night Music Club, which was my favorite of hers. I guess it's the sound, her raw voice, not trying so hard to create a radio "single". I think Detours is a decent effort and the more that I listen to it, the more I like it. That being said, if you're looking for a 'pop' CD, this isn't it. If you enjoy the unique sound of Sheryl Crow, her voice, her lyrics, the uniqueness of her sound...this will become a favorite. It's already one of mine. ... Read More Rating:  - Sheryl Crow DetoursPoor effort. We all know Sheryl can do much better than this. Shouldn't have wasted the $10. Rating: - CD Sheryl Crow DetoursDetours Received in good order. High quality recording. Enjoyable listening. A happy customer. |
