Winding Road is great, who gives a fuck about Sweet Child o' Mine anyway?

I like "Winding Road." I think "Soak Up the Sun" far more egregiously resembles a generic jingle. I don't think I've heard a song of hers since then.
Just now I learned that "Winding Road" is about Paul Hester quitting Crowded House midway through the tour that Crow was opening on. I saw that tour, it was a hoot. She was totally loose, a beer in one hand, cigarette in the other. When Hester quit (some time after the date I caught), she lent her drummer Wally to Crowded House. FWIW, that second album, self produced by Crow, has a lot of Crowded House connections. Neil Finn sings backup on "Road," Tchad Blake mixes, Mitchell Froom plays, bunch of others from Froom's circle play on the record. Wikipedia claims Crow "played most of the instruments on the album, including bass and guitar work and nearly all the keyboard parts," but there are a lot session ringers filing in the gaps on there.

so classic. "listen to coltrane, derail your own train", "read you comics in bed, scrape the mold of the bread, and serve you french toast again" i want a cassette with this b2b with tom petty's "you don't know how it feels" on it, and a cassette player in my car to play it.

i listened to a newish sheryl crow song, "be myself" and .. not great! she would pretty much be the most amazing aunt to have in the world though, i'm convinced. divorced and single, naturally.

i was thinking of doing a beck vs sheryl crow poll but ilm would be predictably disappointing on that topic

We went searchin', through thrift store junglesFound Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampooAnd Benny Goodman's corset and penWell, okay, I made this upI promised you I'd never give up
I'm not sure exactly what she was going for with this verse, but to me it captures the feeling of talking to a friend with depression and trying to find something innocuous but entertaining to take up conversational space, so you take these ordinary events like going to a thrift store and spin them into an elaborate story.

WanderBreadWanderBread3 years ago (edited)My mom used to blast this and scream the lyrics. i miss you everyday mom.
Edit: Thank you for all the likes and nice comments. She passed from stage 4 metastatic breast cancer 2014 at the age of 46. Always get breast exams. Do not feel uncomfortable to talk with loved ones about it. Getting checked annually can prevent the loss of life.4K

really good guitar tones on the s/t and the globe sessions incidentally

"The Difficult Kind" is her high point IMO

Furious these albums have never been released on vinyl (and that TNMC was a limited RSD thing). Maybe 2021 is the year!

I like what I've heard from her new album.

too many years later i realize the brilliance of "soak up the sun". it's a touch too feel-good to be truly cool, like sheryl's highlights and jeans in the video, but idk it's just really hitting the spot this summer. i wonder if i can get away with playing it out.
