The forced gritty voice reminds me of The Stereophonics and not in a good way.

It's not bad, and I really like Sheryl Crow... But I just have to say: Johnny Cash's version is much better!

To be diplomatic one day on a long drive, I put my wife's Sheryl Crow CD on . I was hating on it, but felt I had to suffer through it since I assumed she liked it. After about 4 songs she turns to me and says "turn this crap off" ..we laughed our asses off after I told her I could barley stand it...there you go..story of the day

A lot of comments about Sheryl's vocal strength and it makees wonder if there's a double standard with female artists. Do men's voices catch the same scrutiny? It's not like she has a bad voice, it's just not as strong as other women's singers'. How many male artists don't even bother to sing or, sing with "character?" I think women are held to a much higher standard.
 


I actually had a vocal coach tell me that this is true. She mentioned that there is so much pressure on women artists to be perfect at all times, yet for men it wasn't as important. I wonder if it has something to do with the higher ranges...perhaps in higher ranges, flaws are heard more easily because of the impact on the nervous system, where lower ranges are more soothing, so errors are not that big a deal.
Just speculating...

Always liked this song - I heard that Johnny Cash did a version of it.

  I don't believe what you say here is true. At least it doesn't apply to me. There are actually more male artists who's voices I have negative opinions about than females. And I also think Cheryl's voice is plenty strong - in the case of this song too strong.

You know, I generally like Cheryl Crow. I"ve never heard this before and I think it' harsh and obnoxious sounding.
I wouldn't have guessed that this was her until I got up and looked.

You're far from alone in your opinion.  Try as I might, I can't get past her weedy voice.

While I don't loathe Cheryl Crow, I don't really like her either.  Not sure what it is about her songs, but I just can barely stand to listen to them.  I know that there are a lot of people out there who love her, so I don't want to begrudge them hearing her music here, but it does give me a 3 minute brake where I can go to the bathroom and not worry about missing something good.

I suppose that's an upside.

A much underated artist who has unfortunatley fallen prey to the music fashion halfwits and the ipod (i only hear half the music) generation.
Play her music on a decent system and forget all the gender and personality issues.

All 3 of her first albums have real artistic merit, IMHO. I even really like #r4, C'Mon, C'Mon, which strikes me as a loving tribute to the 70s pop so many of us grew up on.

There was a brief period in my life when I had a decent cd player in my car, but I hadn't yet discovered used cd's . (Also, I was broke.) I would buy a cd after very careful deliberation and then play.it.to.death. Now, when I hear something from one of those 6 or 7 cds, I'm instantly transported back to that time, with all the moods and hassles I was dealing with flooding back.

RP has played songs from three of those tonight: Odelay, The Colour and the Shape, and this. I was listening to this very song when I made a major decision in my life, one that's affected nearly everything since. (It was a good decision.) I wouldn't take back the late 90's for anything, but I would never want to live through them again!

Dear Ms.Crow, Thanks alot for not releasing another lame song.

 I do, however, have a complaint.
 
 
Now that everyone knows that you can achieve your musical potential, we have something of value to reference when you're sharing a greasy mic with Kid Rock or some other wonder of nature.

I would hardly say that she is persona non grata. Look at her ratings. Pretty solid. Don't focus so much on the haters who will rally to complain at every opportunity. Most people seem to be quietly enjoying her music without saying anything. I guess the rest are just the vocal minority.

Yarp. You no like the Sheryl? Seek out the song "Fun" by Kevin Gilbert (or any song, for that matter) and play it...loudly...any time your ears are maligned by this poseur. It'll make you feel good. Ok, well it works for me.

I see that she is a founding member of the Recording Artists' Coalition, which supports the rate hikes, but does that mean she herself supports it? I would imagine most artists would be against the hikes.

Never liked her (except when she sang "Leaving Las Vegas" and "All I Wanna Do", and the duet "Blue" with Zucchero, oh yea), can't understand why she has won even the first Grammy (unless for one of those songs), just can't stand that high-pitched whinny voice (except in those three songs and maybe that Steve McQueen song.
