Sheryl Crow's breezy pop combines sing-along choruses with lyrics that gaze at life's simple pleasures and sharp corners, from sunshine and open roads to bittersweet heartache. She's spun gold and platinum by melding straight-talking lyrics and slick riffs with ideas borrowed from all across the musical spectrum: She used the blues to jump-start “All I Wanna Do” and add pathos to “My Favorite Mistake”; she dipped into country on the homebody anthem “Easy” and the Kid Rock-assisted “Picture”; and she gave “Sweet Child o' Mine” a folky, harmony-rich makeover.
