Music reviews of Wildflower
Music Review: Listen closely
Rating: 5 Stars
The album's been out several years as I write this, and I've seen SC in concert three times since then, including for the Detours album, which is very strong.
What I find so surprising is that she rarely plays ANY songs from this album, although she plays lots of hits and album cuts from the others. To me, that's a huge disappointment since this album has more five-star songs (my opinion, of course) than the rest of her albums combined. Detours, for example, has lots of 4-star songs but no fives.
Based on some less enthusiastic reviews I've read here, I have to assume that SC fans who pan this album didn't listen closely enough. "I Know Why", "Perfect Lie" (which would be best at the end of the album), "Lifetimes" and "Letter to God" are beyond inspired both musically and, particularly, lyrically. She played it safe? I don't think so. "And what if everyone is wrong?" from "Letter to God", is hardly a safe lyric. But you have to pay attention to know what she's asking about. And I've always wondered about the line in that song "... I stood in line / 'til the line was gone / and my turn to win was lost."
To me, it's one of the best albums of all time and remains my favorite. One day, maybe some of the songs will become the soundtrack to a popular movie and the world with recognize it for the powerful message it delivers. She must have heard the voice of the Angel.
Description of Wildflower
Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing includes three bonus tracks. Universal. 2008.Since her 1993 debut, Tuesday Night Music Club, Sheryl Crow has been churning out unassailably appealing CDs in an unassailably appealing voice. Which means, according to the rules of the pop music cosmos, by album six it's about time for a misstep. Natural law, fortunately, will have to keep checking its watch. Wildflower moves Sheryl Crow one step closer to Hall of Fame status as she shunts the established rock star's impulse to get all experimental, but instead sprawls, rambling rose-like, across the substance-spiked pop landscape she helped pioneer. Three ingredients, glistening vocals, flawless production, and catchy songs rub up against one another in all the right places. These ingredients will cause you to hold your breath on the beautiful piano ballad "Always on Your Side." They pop up again on the George Harrison-esque "Where Has All the Love Gone" reminding you that Crow can reflect and reveal as convincingly as she can rock. If there is a ripple that runs through Wildflower, it's a pensive one. On the spacy "Chances Are," she sings of being "...lost inside a daydream." The measure of her talent, ripe and reappraisal-resistant, is her ability to consistently bring us inside the bubble with her. --Tammy La Gorce
