5.0 out of 5 stars Sheryl Crow The Globe Sessions - A great CD!, March 1, 2004

"The Globe Sessions" is Sheryl Crow's third album and among those first three, in my opinion, her most exciting one. It's quite easy to tell that with this album she was making the music that she wanted to make and not just music that was approved by studio executives. Among the most impressive aspects of this particular album for me are the tracks that would definitely be classified as country or country rock. I am by no means a country music fan but if they all sounded like this beautiful Missouri girls brand of it, I certainly would be.

Apart from the most popular song on the album "My Favorite Mistake," which has received more than ample airtime over the years, this album is populated with some of Sheryl Crow's best material to date. Whether one is looking at these songs from the pop or country aspect, they can all be classified as good to great music.

I highly recommend this album to those that are interested in listening to good music that is well written and performed by a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice who sings with an incomparable depth of emotion in each and every song; whether she's attempting to emote joy or sadness in her songs, she gets it down perfectly! {ssintrepid}

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album--"Phooey" to Amazon reviewer, July 5, 2002

In light of Sheryl Crow's latest album, the poppy, sparkling "C'mon C'mon", I had to go back and visit this, her previous effort, from four years earlier. For sure, there is a lot of difference between the two albums, but both deserve accolades for fantastic musicianship. In fact, of Sheryl's 4 releases, only the first one is worthy of less than 5 stars in my book. Since then, she has continued to grow musically. This third release is further proof of that.

"My Favorite Mistake" and "Anything But Down" showcase this album very well as two fine singles. Both are clever and typically understated Sheryl. However, I also enjoy the catchiness of "There Goes The Neighborhood", the melancholy of "The Difficult Kind", and the hard, distorted sound of the end of "Am I Getting Through (Parts I & II)". Unlike her latest album, this album is not overall pop-based, which perhaps explains its lesser sales compared to her other albums. Nontheless, I consider it equally as brilliant as anything else this remarkable artist has put out...this is truly another Sheryl Crow masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars I hope Amazon doesn't pay its critics by the word, March 1, 2002

I'll grant you, I like the album, but even if I didn't, I would still dislike this editorial review. I think that it's fully possible for anyone to contemplate points of view without the experience which led to adopting them, or to change their tone in describing their lives. You shouldn't buy this album if you don't think that Sheryl Crow should have done anything but write endless remakes of "All I Wanna Do."

In essence, this record captures all of the feelings associated with love that fails - "My Favorite Mistake," "Riverwide," "Maybe That's Something," "Anything But Down" and "The Difficult Kind" all describe different aspects of disappointment, sadness or regret. There's a fair bit of funk in the drums and the wah-wah clavinets on "There Goes the Neighborhood," but it's the open-tuned Keith Richards chords that inform the listener of a conscious decision to return to harder, more basic sounds in rock. I don't think that Plastic Ono Band was seen as a step towards mediocrity and creative burnout for John Lennon, despite the fact that there were no Beatles-sized hits on it.

This record handles adult themes of loss and pain, and maybe it did rang as false for the Amazon reviewer as true for me and everyone else on this page. However, I did a search under Music for albums of his that unpaid reviewers awarded five stars, and not surprisingly there weren't any. Some people are famous and well-liked for a reason, and some albums simply have too much truth and power to be disregarded because they don't match the prejudices of the art worldlings.
