Sheryl Crow is set to release her sixth studio album, DETOURS. The album marks the return of producer Bill Bottrell, who previously worked with Crow on her breakthrough debut album Tuesday Night Music Club, which earned the singer three Grammy Awards, and sold more than ten million copies worldwide. "This is the most honest record I've ever made. It's about being forced to wake up," says Crow.

Thematically, Detours may not seem like much of a detour to Sheryl Crow fans. Her politics pour out of these songs the way you might expect them to if you caught wind of her epic cross-country bus trip, with the activist Laurie David, to promote environmental awareness months prior to this release. From the quiet, faraway-sounding opener "God Bless This Mess"--a novel in a song--to the catchy but thought-provoking "Gasoline," it's clear that Crow has more on her mind these days than soaking up the sun or having a little fun, à la the Tuesday Night Music Club era. Yet there's not a groan-worthy song on this standout rock/pop/folk/blues album. If the themes are heavy (in addition to the political songs, there's an almost painfully tender lullaby for her son Wyatt and one, "Make It Go Away [Radiation Song]," that touches on her breast-cancer experience), the mood is cathartic, determined, hopeful at times and sad at others. "Now That You're Gone" grabs at clarity through the clouds of a devastating love affair and gets it, and "Peace Be Upon Us" picks apart pettiness and arrives at a wide-minded beauty. George Harrison seems present in some of these songs, especially the more personal ones ("Drunk with the Thought of You," "Love Is All There Is"). And that may be the highest compliment that Sheryl Crow, who seems to admire his gentle soul and shares his big heart, could ask for. --Tammy La Gorce

Not Impressed
I'm a big Sheryl Crow fan. Always have been. But this album disappointed me. At first I rated it 3 stars, (mostly BECAUSE I am such a fan of hers) but as I listened to it again, realized that no, I really did not like it. The song "Detours" was, I thought, the best song off this album, but it's really the only one, and don't get me wrong, it is NOT by any means, a favorite Sheryl song. I'm listening to the album right now to see if there was something I missed, but no, nothing stands out to me. The song "Out of Our Heads" and "Peace Be Upon Us" are almost cheesy, (and come to think of it, as it's playing I realized so is "God Bless This Mess".) Other songs have a similar sound and feel as classic Sheryl, but they fall terribly short of her previous greatness. Another realization is that for a lot of the songs the chorus just repeats the same line over and over.
As a Sheryl Crow fan, when she came into town to promote this album, I jumped on the chance to see her live, just hoping she would play a lot of "oldies". And to my pleasure she did. And thankfully, pretty much the only song she played off this album, that I can remember, was "Detours".
I have pre-ordered her new album which releases July 20, 2010, which I am hoping is a lot better than this one. I'm not ready to give up on her. You can't necessarily expect every album to be spectacular.
awesome! 
nothing better than this cd. sheryl pours her heart out on many of the songs. her lyrics touching and emotionally raw at times. excellent!
About as good as her debut (which was overrated). 3.5 stars. 
This effort from Crow can be a bit hard to swallow at times, even for the biggest fans like me. I just got this album and it has completed my collection for her studio albums (Tuesday Night Music Club, Sheryl Crow, The Globe Sessions, C'mon, C'mon and Wildflower are her previous efforts). Some of the songs are good like the second track, 'Shine Over Babylon' or the thoughtful title track, 'Detours'. Or even the playful 'Motivation'. 'Lullaby For Wyatt' also makes for a quiet, intimate closer.
But there are some slight misses too. 'Out Of Our Heads' is somewhat hard to get into completely. And 'Diamond Ring' is actually lovely until you get to the loud, grating chorus.
Also, except for maybe 4 or 5 tracks, this album is less catchy than some of her others. While The Globe Sessions was a pretty low-key album, it still had that catchiness that really caught on if you gave it a chance. I'm quite partial to that album though.
Overall, this is a strange effort from Sheryl. It's not terrible, but it's not her best vocally or musically. The albums I recommend most from her are The Globe Sessions and Sheryl Crow, in that order.
With all that said, I still can't wait for her next effort and hope it is way less political, less quirky and more straightforward.
3.5 stars or a 7/10.

OUT OF OUR HEADS
Got to spend most of a day recently with Sheryl Crow when she preformed two shows with James Taylor at TANGLEWOOD in western Mass.You will find two songs will jump out at you LOVE IS FREE and OUT OF OUR HEADS .These songs are infectious and brilliant .You will have to jump up and dance or grab some drum sticks and start banging on something .Highly recommend this CD .Until I met her I thought "I just wanna have fun " , after seeing her "live" I know her as true "professional" musician .

What a great album! Sheryl Crow seems to just get better and better with each new album she comes out with. Can't wait for her to release another one.
