Editorial Reviews :
Sheryl Crow's first studio album in four years shows a woman if not on the verge of a nervous breakdown, then one who has gone a little off the rails and is in the process of pulling herself back on track again. For her past three studio albums, Crow has been known as the quintessential party girl who liked a beer buzz in the morning, but C'mon, C'mon shows her to be much more than that. Breakup, illness, and loss have tempered her good-time persona, and like other life-altering events, both her character and lyrics are stronger for it. This latest offering might not break any new musical ground--again relying on her retooling of '70s country rock--but she displays an honesty and naked vulnerability not witnessed in her earlier work, honing her pain to a fine, lyrical edge. The brooding 'Weather Channel' shows a rawboned Crow unafraid to display her emotional bruising, but without losing any of her sly wit: 'Just a pill to make me happy / I know it may not fix the hinges, but at least the door has stopped its creaking.' Besides songs reflecting her newfound poignancy are a couple of swaggering rockers that recall middle-period Stones, including 'You're an Original,' featuring Lenny Kravitz, the whimsical and insouciant 'Steve McQueen,' which finds Crow boasting 'I ain't taking shit off of no one,' and the deceptively frothy 'Soak Up the Sun,' which features the long missing-in-action Liz Phair on background vocals. In addition to resurrecting Phair, Crow also has compiled a paparazzo's dream, soliciting the vocal talents of pals Stevie Nicks, Natalie Maines , Emmylou Harris, Don Henley, and inexplicably, the actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
Buyer Reviews :
When she was first breaking into the mainstream with her 1st CD, I got the chance to see Sheryl perform here on Maui twice in one year in a very intimate setting. I knew then that she was on her way to a superstar ascension. Her stage presence, voice and musicianship were down to earth, real and unpretentious.
With C'mon, C'mon, Sheryl delivers more of what her fans have come to expect. Great melodies abound on this CD. The very first listen to 'Steve McQueen' made me feel like I've heard the song all my life. Instant familiarity- which some artists cannot pull off. Yet Sheryl does with ease! 'Soak Up The Sun' is a 'feel good' hit with a great hook reminiscent of 'Tuesday Night Music Club'. 'Safe and Sound' is a more haunting version than the live turn she did on 'Tribute To Heroes.' In my opinion, it's one of the best songs on the CD. 'Weather Channel' is a hidden gem. Great guest vocalists and musicians, beautiful photos of Sheryl in the liner notes, not a weak track on the CD. This one's near perfect. Do yourself a favor and pick up one of the best rock releases of 2002.
