From the official site: of Sheryl Crow has long reflected the musical passions that inspired her back when she was growing up in Kennett, MO. From her breakthrough debut Tuesday Night Music Club (1994) to the self-titled Sheryl Crow (1996) and her most recent studio album The Globe Sessions (1998), Crow has continued to explore her passions and define her distinctive voice, staking her fertile turf as a singer-songwriter. Now with her latest shining gem, C'mon, C'mon, Crow has turned up the volume and loosened the mood to make the direct rock & roll album that made her want to make music in the first place. C'mon, C'mon is an instant charmer of a rock album - an immediate road trip classic. For Crow the making of the album was a long, hard road. Indeed, even coming up with an appropriate title for the album seemed to take forever. "The original album title was going to be Songs from the Waiting Room because all the way through the process of making this record that title had a lot of meaning for me," says Crow. "But that title was in conflict with the spirit of the record." Crow explains that she yearned to make an album "in the flavor of '70s and '80s classic rock - rock songs that were crafted, that you could sing; songs that were like the soundtrack to your summer - songs that were really committed to rock." And so it was that Crow found herself with a kick-ass album and no title to match. At the eleventh hour she speedily wrote and recorded the song "C'mon, C'mon" - a standout, crunchy rocker featuring Crow's longtime friend Stevie Nicks. "It just seemed to evoke the feeling of the rest of the record," Crow explains. And C'mon, C'mon is definitely an album with lots of feeling. http://www.sherylcrow.com

It's a model for all lyrics pages, just georgeous. http://www.sherylgirl.com/lyrics/main.html "Abilene" C'Mon, C'Mon Written by Sheryl Crow and Jeff Trott Can't you see I'm holding your flag The one that you left on the ground Well is the world too heavy for you If it makes you feel better, I'll carry it, too No one's gonna stand in your light Impressions are easy to fight But until you turn to me and say You don't need anyone to carry the weight, I will stay Abilene Bring it on home to me Abilene Isn't it good to be free Can't you see I'm earing your shirt The one with the heart on the sleeve Everyone can see you've been hurt But honey don't give up on me When you gonna make up your mind When you gonna get out of bed Well everyday you're gonna find Broken promises are no worse than words never said Abilene Bring it on home to me Abilene Isn't it good to be free Then you want someone to come along and save the day Well you make it much too hard Abilene Bring it on home to me Abilene Isn't it good to be free

And the awesome song: "Everyday is a Winding Road" Sheryl Crow Written by Sheryl Crow, Jeff Trott, & Brian MacLeod I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man He says he's been down this road more than twice He was high on intellectualism I've never been there but the brochure looks nice Jump in, let's go Lay back, enjoy the show Everybody gets high, everybody gets low, These are the days when anything goes Everyday is a winding road I get a little bit closer Everyday is a faded sign I get a little bit closer to feeling fine He's got a daughter he calls Easter She was born on a Tuesday night I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone Why I'm a stranger in my own life Jump in, let's go Lay back, enjoy the show Everybody gets high, everybody gets low These are the days when anything goes Everyday is a winding road I get a little bit closer Everyday is a faded sign I get a little bit closer to feeling fine I've been living in a sea of anarchy I've been living on coffee and nicotine I've been wondering if all the thing I've seen Were ever real, were ever really happening Everyday is a winding road I get a little bit closer Everyday is a faded sign I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

I'm gonna soak up the sun I'm gonna tell everyone To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that) I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up I'm gonna soak up the sun I'm gonna soak up the sun

That would be Kendall's favorite song! She bends at the knees and tries to snap her fingers after just a few notes! BTW, Paul, looks like you've got it bad for Ms. Crow... I just noticed her new topic over in babes! *grin*

I should have linked the two topics, but then this one's about her music and the other one's about her hotness. grin deserved.
