Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
Despite the photographic presence of an acoustic guitar (the rock & roll equivalent of a rubber bullet), the enviably lovely hair and the unassuming knitwear, Sheryl Crow is staring back at us from the cover of The Very Best Of with her chin resting on a fist clenched tightly with white-knuckled defiance. This is, after all, the girl whose wishful thinking led her to sing "All I wanna do is have some fun" while privately preferring to either curl up in bed for a very long time or roll over and die (she's recently come out of the closet with regards to her longstanding battles with depression).Yes, she's earned herself an armful of Grammys and has been damned with faint praise, but if you go easy on the relatively troublesome second half of Sheryl Crow's 10-year solo career (the poppy optimism of songs like "C'mon C'mon" and "Soak Up the Sun" seems strained), then this decade-acknowledging resumé serves as a reminder of her narrative talents for summarising the pitfalls of burdensome workloads ("Everyday Is a Winding Road") and problematic squeezes ("My Favorite Mistake") within an MTV-friendly pop framework. --Kevin Maidment

Great Music
I had this cassette and when I bought another vehicle I needed a CD. Love listening to this in my vehicle on the road. Beautiful voice and beautiful songs.
Sheryl Crow Greatest Hits - love it
I love all the songs and her voice is fantastic. This is the 2nd time I ordered it. I buy used and the first one had some songs that didn't quite sound right. However, this one has been great and I love the music.
Excellent CD
Cheryl Crow has done it again! I bought this CD, because it was the only one I could find with her singing "Picture" with Kid Rock....what I didn't expect, was that the entire CD is superb! Its most of her greatest hits all in one CD.....well worth it!
Love it!
If you like her, this is the best album to get. Very listenable and you'll listen to it over and over again!
Creating a new fan
While I have enjoyed Sheryl Crow's music over the years, I didn't pay it a great deal of attention. I saw her this summer in New Orleans and loved the vibrancy of her performance and that the live music was even better than her recordings.
This CD is a great compilation of Ms. Crow's most notable work. I am now officially a Sheryl Crow fan - for life!
