Title: Let's Hope She Finds Herself, Post-Lance
Review: Sheryl Crow used to be one of my favorite female singer-songwriters. But with middle-age and celebrity, her music has gotten weaker and weaker. C'mon, C'mon was awful. Maybe "Good Is Good" will be her nadir. The whole Lance Armstrong thing was such a huge distraction, in which she clearly gave more than she got back. I look forward to what she might write -- if she faces up to the reality of being in a youth-oriented profession, single and in her mid-40s, if still obviously atractive and talented. Crow is more interesting on her own than she seems to recognize. If she shows more courage and gives up on the Prince Charming nonsense, she might produce something that ranks with her early work and that speaks to other baby boomers. If you're looking for something honest and introspective with Wildflower that ranks with her first few CDs, this isn't it. She's sounded lost for years.
Is the review positive or negative?
