Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0606949326029 Label: Interscope Records Manufacturer: Interscope Records MPN: 493260 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Interscope Records Release Date: April 16, 2002 Studio: Interscope Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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. --Jaan Uhelszki Album Details: Japanese Limited Budghet Re-issue featuring Three Bonus Tracks "Missing", "i Want You" and "You Are Not the One".

 Rating:  - Sheryl Crow in her bestI didn't know the music of Sheryl Crow until i listen to this album. The album shows a country/rock style , and it sounds so good with the voice of Sheryl. "safe and sound" , "it's only love" and "diamond road" are the best songs . she misses the spot in some musics when she shows a too country sound , like in "steve mcqueen" . It's strange the fact that she did a lot of colaborations , which was not listen or credited in the back cover of the album , the most strange colaboration is with the actress ...

Steve McQueen and the Weather Channel sound like Crow, but the rest is just manufactured pop. Rating: - Very happy with our purchase!Cd was in perfect condition and came fast. Thank you!! Rating:  - A mixed bag of candy.C'mon C'mon is really not a very good album - it's far too uneven to be listened to from one end to the other, and some of these songs are downright horrible. That being said, there is a bunch of excellent songs amongst them, and if you're into Sheryl's music, buy it cheeply for what it is, and rip the good songs onto a compilation. A short song-review goes like this: 1. Steve McQueen - 8/10 - A good rock anthem, made even better live on the C'mon America DVD. 2. ... Read More Rating: - C'mon!Sheryl Crow set a very high standard for herself with her previous CDs. Even if C'mon, C'mon doesn't quite live up to that lofty standard, it is still a 5-star, excellent album. She sings with tons of energy. The songs provide a nice range from slow country-like ballad to the quick, driven opening track. The songs at both ends of the spectrum are well written, well sung and highly enjoyable. |
