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

5.0 out of 5 stars Wildflower, May 29, 2006

By	Y. Slayton (Washington) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Sheryl Crow has consistently proven herself a talented musician and song writer. This is a good cd with great sound. Since I picked up Wildflower when it came out in 2005, there are now two additional editions.

The deluxe edition includes a bonus DVD with seven acoustic tracks: Where Has All the Love Gone, Letter to God, I Know Why, Perfect Lie, Lifetimes, Good Is Good, and Always on Your Side. It also has the video for "Good Is Good."

The bonus tracks edition adds an Always On Your Side remix as a bonus track. The standard cut of Always On Your Side is included as with the original edition as well.

It'll be hard to pick a favorite, but you still will really like each and every song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love wildflowers!, July 10, 2009

By	S. Y. Reardon "mouse in the house" (Naples Fl USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This cd makes me want to dance in a field of wildflowers! So upbeat. So not pop.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheryl is a bad singer!, June 6, 2009

By	Roberta King "Roberta Tisdale" (Vermont) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The lead song, "wildflower" is sung by Cheryl way too high pitched. She can't hit the high notes and it sounds ear piercing. The guitar sounds better though. She should stick to the sort of bad girl, hanging out songs that made her a star. Mix it up with other singers and musicians too. That makes it more interesting and gets away from the same old same old lame, cry baby stuff. Try some power chords with a distortion pedal. I think metal may be good for Cheryl and some rap tunes. Get with the present Cheryl. Don't live in the past. Go "bad girl" and have some "fun" (your song).
