Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0731454058728 Label: A&M Manufacturer: A&M MPN: 540587 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: A&M Release Date: September 24, 1996 Studio: A&M Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Skeptics who attributed the success of Sheryl Crow's 1994 debut, Tuesday Night Music Club, to a combination of Crow's seductive good looks and a shrewd choice of collaborators have been effectively silenced by the range and depth of songs and performances on her self-produced, pointedly self-titled sequel. Playing guitars and keyboards, and building a triumphant, layered vocal style, Crow is tough as nails and drolly soulful on the deft "Change," as noteworthy for Crow's crafty lyrics ("Hello, it's me, I'm not at home/ If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone...") as for its solid, midtempo groove. "Maybe Angels," "If It Makes You Happy," and "Everyday Is a Winding Road" are only the most familiar highlights in a varied and absorbing set that argues Crow is no one's invention but her own. --Sam Sutherland Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The best Sheryl Crow CD you can find!I first listened to this album on cassette tape (which obviously dates it!), but it's one of those albums where every song is a good one. I can listen to the whole thing without skipping a track. It will not disappoint if you like rock & roll/alternative mixed with pop. I think this album is her best.. oldie but goodie! Rating:  - Not an immediately appealing workThis is not an album with immediate appeal so it takes a while to reveal its depth. Mostly mainstream rock of the mid-tempo variety embellished with other influences, the music is very 1990s whilst the lyrics are full of references to pop culture, sometimes witty, always clever. The album opens with the heavy rock track Maybe Angels, which is followed by the catchy pop-rock of A Change Will Do You Good which was a huge hit. The lovely tender Home is a folky interlude, Sweet Rosalyn ... Read More Rating: - Still her best.For me this is still Sheryl's best album. It has a more rough, honest, edge to it. Something that started to disappear a bit in later albums as she became more successful. All tracks are great with the album best listened to in it's entirety from start to finish for full effect. It's hard to believe this came after TNMC since it comes across as more of a 'first album'. Rating:  - Another letdown by a great artist.What's up with the material that Sheryl is given to sing? Well, actually, she IS writing it but the approach to a lot of these songs is poor. While it has more decent songs than The Globe Sessions, it still doesn't make the cut, in my honest opinion. Top 3 songs: If It Makes You Happy Everyday Is A Winding Road A Change Will Do You Good The rest ranges from OK (Ordinary Morning) to unlistenable (Sweet Rosalyn) . Rating: - If It Makes Her HappyTen years ago this week is when Sheryl Crow's now classic hit "Everyday Is A Winding Road," made it's impressive debut on the Billboard Singles Chart, gracing the #13 spot, but Crow found herself in a bottleneck time with the recording of her self-titled sophomore effort. She had already suffered a bit of backlash from Tuesday Night Music Club because the musicians she played those songs with for years accused her of taking all the credit, but then her producer ditched her just before sessions for ...
