When I saw that there were no stars given to this album, I thought maybe it just was never reviewed. I was saddened to learn that Rolling Stone, supposedly the most reputable source of music journalism, could allow David Fricke to write the worst review I have ever read in my lifetime. This is by far my favorite Sheryl Crow album, and an absolute gem of the 90s alternative rock scene. Fricke's criticism of it is completely off-base, unjustifiable and just unprofessional. Song's like "Every Day Is a Winding Road" have enough staying power for a lifetime, and Crow's self-titled beauty contains more than enough rock n roll grit to hang with some of the best in singer/songwriter rock. The fact that Rolling Stone allowed this joker's review to be published disappoints me as a student of journalism and as a fan of the magazine. I give his review NO STARS.

Wow. David Fricke should be fired, considering this album won the Grammy for Rock Album of the Year in 1996. I have yet to hear an album deserving of 0 stars. Why the sour grapes?


This album is so easy to listen to from beginning to end. She is easily one of the most talented singer/songwriters of our generation.

The bigger question would be: which honest to goodness no-talent hacks got better ratings from this guy?

I believe that RS's review of this CD is completely untrue. Nothing she could've done was bad enough to get her 0 our of 5 stars. Two of her songs from this CD(the singles) are still used in commercials, shows, and movies all the time. I have not personally listened to every track, but from what I've heard(and I own the CD so I've heard just a lil more than nothing) I really like this CD. I wouldnt rate it perfectly, as just a couple o' songs arent that great, but seriously, this CD is worth at least 3 stars.
