Sheryl Crow - Sweet Little Rock and Roller - Various Songs (1999-2001)

I'm getting pretty frustrated with Sheryl Crow. It's not her fault. It's just that every time I turn around, it seems I find more songs by her that I'd missed. As a result, in the last month or two, I've updated all but one of the stray tracks albums I previously posted. I discovered so many songs that I had to create a new album for 1997, and then made adjustments to the ones adjacent in time to those.

The album prior in time to this one, which I call "Straight to the Moon," just got seriously messed up today. I found more songs from 1998 and 1999, so I put them in a revamped version of that one, and moved some 1999 and 2000 songs to this one. I'm sorry these albums keep changing! But I'm pretty sure, knock on wood, that I've found pretty much everything, and these adjustments will stop happening. If you like her enough to get this one, you should probably redownload the previous ones, especially "Straight to the Moon," since some songs from the last version of that one are now on this one.

Okay, with that hopefully straightened out once and for all, let's get to what exactly is on this new album. In 1999, Crow put on a big concert with lots of famous guest stars, and released a live album of it called "Live from Central Park." Unfortunately, it wasn't very good. The performances seemed stilted and the concept came across as contrived. Luckily, it turns out there was a rehearsal the day before, and there's a soundboard of it that sounds as good as studio recordings. Three of the first four songs here come from that. Two of them, "Sweet Little Rock and Roller" and "Angel," didn't actually made the official album. The other one, "Highway 61 Revisited," definitely sounds better with this version.

Most of the rest of this album are the usual cover songs from soundtracks and other various artists compilations. All but one of the rest are officially released. And that one, "Time Has Come Today," is from a TV show appearance and sounds as good as an official release.

I've said before that I generally prefer Crow's stray track albums to her regular studio albums. This is a good case in point for that.  With I think one exception, "Kiss that Girl," all the songs are covers, and the vast majority are classic songs. This isn't a creative masterpiece; it's just another bunch of songs that she sings and plays very well.

For the cover art, I used a photo of Crow in 2001. I edited the background to make it less distracting.
