バランスのとれた、いいアルバムと思うが、
今まで全てのアルバム聴いていますが、私には、少し
パンチがないようにも思いました。
もう慣れたのかな。
そうではないが、入り込む1曲がないようにも感じる。
ただ、う〜ん?と思う曲がないアルバムなので
秀作と言えるデキあるには違いないと思います。

love is freeって曲はシェリル特有の力のぬけ具合が良い面で出たすごくいい曲だと思う。
シェリルの曲はいい曲は多いのだが、アルバムはいまいち完成度は低いと思う。だから今までのシェリルのベストはやはりベスト盤ってことになるのは、ファンとしてはさみしいことでもあった。けど、今回のアルバムはすったもんだが原因だかどうかわからないが、回帰って名に恥じぬ出来になっている。
シェリルが大好きなのは、ありきたりな言い方になるが前向きだって事。つまずいた時聴くと何故かふっと肩の力が抜け、気分が楽になる。

私はシェリル・クロウの今までのアルバムの中では前作『ワイルドフラワー』が一番好きだったので、あの路線を期待したのですが、全然ちがいました。
今回のアルバムタイトル『Detours』とは"まわり道"とか"遠まわり"の意味で、まわりまわって1作目の『チューズデイ・ナイト・ミュージック・クラブ』に戻ったという感じ。
むしろ1作目より、フォークというかナッシュビルよりなサウンドですね。
2作目以降はセルフプロデュースでアルバム製作してきたシェリルですが、今作では、1作目を手がけたビル・ボットレルがプロデュース。
音作りは無駄な音を排して実にシンプル、オーガニックな音でシェリルの声を前面に出しています。
最初は地味だなあと思いましたが、3回通して聴いても耳が疲れず、バックでずっと流していたいアルバムです。
正直あまり売れるとは思いませんが、生後間もない赤ちゃんを養子に迎えいれ、ナッシュビルの田舎に移住したシェリルにはもうアルバムのセールスなんて興味がないのでしょう。
オリジナル版の最後の曲にあたる14曲目"ララバイ・フォー・ワイアット"はその養子に迎えた子供ワイアットへの思いがこめられています。
そうそう、前作『ワイルドフラワー』レコーディング時にもう1枚分路線の違うアルバム用の曲がすでにレコーディング済みで、じきに発売されると言われており、私は心待ちにしていたのですが、どうやらそれはお蔵入りし、今回のアルバムはまったくの新規にレコーディングされたそうです。
1作目が好きな人は買いです。

デビューアルバム以来となったビル・ボットレルの起用は、シェリル・クロウにとってやはりとてつもなく活力となったことでしょう。
この数年の間、生死を彷徨い、さらに婚約解消など、想像するだけでも本当に辛い時期を過ごしたであろう彼女の最新作は、
原点に立ち帰り、新たな自分を見詰め直したスピリチュアルなものに傾いた印象が大きいです。
がむしゃらにファーストアルバムを作っていた頃の盟友を再び起用することは、無条件に心を預けられる別のパワーが必要だったから、なのでしょう。
そのことが顕著に現れているのが、ガムランを巧みに取り入れた「peace be upon us」。
この手の手法は友人であるマドンナの影響も少なからずあると思いますが、実にストレートで聞いているこちらもすごく気持ちが晴れます。
ある種吹っ切れた感のある明るい曲調の中にも、地に足のついた彼女の歌詞と歌唱がひしひしと伝わるいい曲です。
数回ほど聞いてふと感じられることは、一人称主語(I)は影を潜め、三人称主語(he/she/little boy/father/brother/そのほかモノの名前など…)が増えているということ。
この事実はまさに語り手としてのシェリル・クロウ復活を意味し、さらには、自分自身のことばかりを語ってきた二作目以後の作品との違いをはっきりと意味していないだろうか。
小説を読んでいるような「god bless this mess」で始まる本作が、同じく小説のような内容の「run baby run」で始まるファーストアルバムとリンクすることは偶然ではなさそうな気がします。
シングル「love is free」や「shine over babylon」、「now that you're gone」(超いい歌!)など、彼女のポップなメロディセンスは相変わらず健在です。
婚約解消の事実を知っている方ならば「diamond ring」は聞くに堪えないほど悲しく聞こえます。
とことん陰に入った「wildflower」の方が個人的には名作(数年後でも聞くに堪える完成度だということから)だと思いますが、希望を残すという意味ではこちらに広く受け入れられる(受け入れられて欲しい)と思います。
そして来日公演を是非お願い!!
とにかく迷わず「買い」の一枚っすよ。

前作wildflowerのラストで歌った「アメリカの愛はどこへ行った?」を引き継いだ形で、9.11後の戦争に傾いて行く社会を嘆いて始まります。
前作は今までに無くスピリチュアルな作品で、芸術的才能を開花させ、平和のメッセージを多方面に届けて反響を巻き起こしました。 今作はロック回帰して、彼女らしさを全開にした力強いメッセージで平和を訴えています。 その中にはアラビア語で平和を願う「Peace be upon us」、石油利権を批判した「Gasoline will be free」や、アブラハムとキリストの友和を歌った物も有り、素晴らしいメッセージを届けてくれます。
アルバム後半は個人的な方面に流れていきますが、ポジティブで秀逸な歌が沢山あり、ラストは弾けてます。 始まりのネガティブさとのギャップは凄まじく、彼女の人間としての幅広さを最も表わした作品だと言えます。

Steady As She Goes!
2012年6月13日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Sheryl Crow is such a gifted musican. From her musical education background & her time teaching music it is clear that
she knows exactly what she's doing. She is definetly one the best rocker chicks in the industry but in addition to that
she has an inate gift of crossing various genres from R&B (100 Miles From Memphis), Gospel/Blues (The Globe Sessions), Jazz
(Sheryl Crow CD) & (100 Miles From Memphis) to keep her listeners always interested in something new. Of course her
greatest popularity lies within the Rock & Contemporary Country categories. She also has quite the intellect for knowing
how to brand herself within the music industry which coupled with her talent is why she has had such a sustainable career
when most have fallen by the wayside. Being able to crossover to other genres has not only kept her challenged but has
broadened her fan base as a whole. One smart cookie. In addition she is widely respected among her peers. We have
Don Henley (The Eagles) to thank for encouraging her to put out her own solo albums otherwise she might have remained
a background singer with Michael Jackson otherwise & that would have been a sure miss for us listeners. My favorite songs from
this CD are:
1. God Bless This Mess: Such a well written song about the repercussions of war on the psyche's of many soldiers returning
from various conflicts i.e Iraq, Afghanistan...albeit all wars really. I love her courage in writing a song that tells
the story from that perspective. It begs the question that many women ask...what is wrong with the mental status of men?
Somehow not having the ability to share the world, resources, wealth, land or being able to actually communicate to
resolve issues seems to be an extreme problem for them. This song exemplifies the insanity of war. Unfortunately as long
as men/boys are being brainwashed into violence as a means to the end this is what the rest of us are left with unless
we start saying enough is enough. Great song lyrically, instrumentally & vocally!
2.Shine Over Babylon: One of Sheryl's best rock songs for me. Love the guitar work in this song and the lyrics are just
oustanding. This song reminds me of songs she did on The Globe Sessions but is different enough to keep it new. Love her
politically motivated comments in this song...."Sooner or later we'll all be killers" I think is referencing wars,
serial killers, greedy financial brokers that rip people off. Love how she uses the metaphor of "Babylon" to tell the
story. So cool!
3.Detours: I love the percussion intro in this song...about the loss of love and how she respects her mother's advice
on how to survive it all and be able to love again! Just great lyrics! Love the tempo in this song...has a bit of
country but pop too.
4.Now That You're Gone: This is one of my favorites on this CD. Love the guitar work and her vocal on this song is great.
I think this song is about Eric Clapton and the loss of that relationship. Who hasn't felt this way at one time or another
and just didn't get to sing about it? Ha! Ha!
5.Drunk With The Thought Of You: This is another great ballad from Sheryl. This is a nice song about love and her
feelings on how much she loves this person! So sweet....shows her vulnerabilities within the confines of this
relationship. I love the musical arrangement of this song..with the percussion keeping the tempo for this song structurally.
6.Diamond Ring: I love this song...so true of how the concept of marriage is ridiculous. Even more nutty is feeding
our little girls those fairy tales to believe in that...it's like sending an animal to it's slaughter! That's what
this song represents to me..that she recognizes the futility of that and how it just leaves people without any sense
of freedom (usually women). Love this song lyrically and her execution of it is spot on!
7.Motivation: I love the cool guitar work on this song...this song reminds me of one she might have done on Tuesday
Night Music Club CD...just a great pop/rock song! Great harmonies on this track...you'll just want to get up and
dance to this one...excuse me a moment while I go rock on to this! Ha! Ha!
8.Make It Go Away: Outstanding acoustical guitar work on this track along with the wood percussion. The lyrics are so
well written...this song just makes your heart ache wishing to erase whatever made these lyrics possible. Great piece
of storytelling in reflecting the feelings involved. I'm sure we've all had moments in our lives where we've wished
to "Make It Go Away"! Love the instumentation on this track...alot of different elements added..the mark of a great artist.
I even loved the screeching at the end as it exemplifies the pain involved.
9.Love Is All There Is: This is a classic Sheryl rock/pop song in instrumenation delivery. Great lyrics about the loss of
love and how it has attacked her thoughts in wondering if she has value in finding someone who will love her all the while
she undestands that "Love Is All There Is". So intelligently written as she knows in the end it never lasts...except the
love one has with their children. One can find love anywhere.....what's hard is maintaining relationships and that seems
to be something only women are capable of (for the most part).
10.Lullaby For Wyatt: This is the best song Sheryl has ever written and is on my favorite playlist & will never be
removed. It is the most strikingly beautiful ballad...clearly about her new baby son. So many mothers have felt
the way she so awesomely articulates in this song that does feel like a lullaby. I loved the ending where you can hear
her baby cooing in the background! So precious from the vocal..that she does so lovingly...to the musical arrangement
with the wonderful acoustical guitar & violin work....to of course the brilliantly written lyrics! I will tell you
folks that when you hear this song you will be putting it on repeat alot it's that outstanding!

A Somber (Yet Wide Awake) Crow DETOURS Into Adulthood
2008年3月28日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
"Gone is the girl who wanted to have some fun/Gone is the girl who just wanted to soak up the sun." Those words could very easily have been lyrics from Sheryl Crow's brilliant new CD, the unquestionably dark, yet satisfyingly deep, DETOURS. After a very public romance (and break-up), a bout with breast cancer and the adoption of a newborn baby boy, Crow has upped the ante, resulting in an album that may be her most diverse to date, both musically (touching upon influences as varied as The Beatles, Prince, Steely Dan, Bonnie Raitt and Carly Simon, but never copying them) and lyrically (stepping out of both her own head/comfort zone, and succeeding around 90% of the time). Things kick off with the sweetly acoustic "God Bless This Mess." Almost playing a character in a mini-musical movie, Crow seems to be channeling this young girl as she attempts to make sense of an increasingly crazy world around her: "My brother came home yesterday/From somewhere far away/He doesn't look like I remember/As he just stares off into space/He must have seen some ugly things/He cannot seem to say/Oh God bless this mess." Backed soley by her own acoustic guitar playing, the arrangement is sublime, the vocals touching. All in all, a wonderful note to open on. Up next is the rocking "Shine Over Babylon." Granted, the lyrics may be a tad bit heavyhanded, but the soaring chorus in undeniably catchy, and the last couple of lines really hit home ("If everything in life was free/You'd float in your own reverie/The things that you can't seem to see/Seal the gap between you and me"). Then there's "Love Is Free", or as Crow lovingly refers to it, the "Instant Grat Track." This spirited ode to New Orleans could easily be written off as a fun little ditty, what with it's hand claps, Rickie Lee Jones-esque opening groove and Mardi Gras party vibe, but there's a lot more to it than that. This is one of those classic Crow songs that may seem one way on the surface, but dig a little deeper and you'll come up with something entirely different. One of DETOURS' best cuts! Ditto "Peace Be Upon Us", probably my favorite cut off of the album. There's something both ethereal and intoxicating about this track....it's Middle East vibe, soothing vocals, clever arrangement. Add some poetic lyrics ("Pick the key up off the floor/Put the key into the lock/Turn the lock, open up the door/Look at all you've got, look at all you've got") and you have an instant Crow classic! "Gasoline" is proof positive how strong DETOURS really is....even it's weaker cuts are still fun! Yes, once again, the lyrics are a little over the top and preachy, but the bluesy arrangement is hypnotic and tight, the vocals sassy and sexy, the visuals stunning (I mean, c'mon, who CAN'T picture the "gangs of Mini Coopers" or the pumps being dragged "out of the ground with a big vintage John Deere?!?"). "Out Of Our Heads" has a nice, sing-songy groove to it, but once more there's more going on than what appears on the surface....only by getting "out of our heads/And into our hearts" does the world stand a chance...of coming together, of surviving...well, you get the picture! Hmmmm.....heady thoughts, anchored to a pop beat...I believe they call that....oh, ROCK 'N' ROLL!!! The album's title track is another (bitter)sweet moment. We've all been there....our heart broken, our parents trying to console us, their words only partially working A) because we just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel and B) maybe, just maybe, a tiny part of us resents their wisdom and, yes, maybe even their own happiness. Crow captures all of this in a way that is equal parts understated and intense. Very nice! "Now That You're Gone" has a gorgeous Steely Dan - meets - Prince (those little guitar flourishes...!!)vibe, as sung by Bonnie Raitt. Seriously....this song would have fit perfectly on any one of Raitt's first seven albums. Oh, what the heck, she should STILL consider covering it! Toss in the atmospheric cello and soulful backing vocals and you have yet another winner! "Drunk With The Thought Of You" has a cool "Norwegian Wood" feel to it, while "Diamond Ring" is downright painful in it's honesty and rawness. Not since Carly Simon's "In Pain" (from 1980's classic COME UPSTAIRS) has an artist so ravaged both her vocal cords AND heart to get her story across. Haunting, intense, nakedly vulnerable.....this is an artist cracking open her soul. Far lighter ~ but just as enjoyable in a far different way! ~ is "Motivation." Buoyed by a pulsating, percussive beat, Crow nails the young Hollywood crowd and second generation wannabe's who feel they're entitled to it all ("Got no grease on my hands/Got no serious plans/Whole world's waiting for me/'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free"). Amen, Ms. Crow.....amen!! "Make It Go Away (The Radiation Song)" is achingly honest...from the metronome beat of an implied chemo drip to the raspy, pleading vocal, this is the bada** rocker transformed into a quivering, scared little mess ("I crawl into my circumstance/Lay on the table/Begging for another chance/But I was a good girl"). By the time we get to the last verse ("Sometimes I wonder/Which hurts the worst/Was love the illness/And disease the cure/Make it go away")it's like a musical punch in the gut. Chilling and powerful. Much like "Gasoline", "Love Is All There Is" is album filler, albeit smooth, sexy and fun, while "Lullaby For Wyatt" is a lovely, understated ode to new parenthood. So....while some fans might have a problem with her new, more worldly attitudes and views, you better get used to it....DETOURS represents the new, more adult Sheryl Crow, and she's here to stay. Yeah, I get the feeling she still wants to have some fun, but I also sense she now believes that there's more to life than just a good time. And I say, good for her! (As with all my reviews, I'm giving the disc an extra half a star for including the lyrics).

Ich mag Sherryl einfach, die CD ist gut.

Gekauft habe ich mir die neue CD von 'Frau Crow' weil ich sie einfach mag. Den Vorgänger habe ich kaum aufgelegt, doch diese Scheibe 'läuft ständig', denn sie macht Spaß, ist gut produziert und bietet durchweg eingängige Melodien, teils sehr rockig und auch mit einigen Balladen (die nicht schnulzig klingen sonder sehr gefühlsbetont sind). Insgesamt sehr "gitarrenbetont", manchmal auch ein wenig blue grass. Es spielen viele Bandmitglieder aus Anfangzeiten mit, das bürgt für Qualität.

Back to her best!
2008年3月8日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I am a long time Crow fan and have been looking forward to her follow up to Wildflower for a while now. Wildflower was a very different style of music to what we're used to hearing sprouting out of Sheryl's mouth. it wasn't to everyone's taste and I can understand the somewhat lacklustre reviews. Personally I liked it. In Detours, Sheryl has gone back to her roots and it's fantastic. Personal experiences and opinions are written into her lyrics and she sings them with confidence. On my first listen to the CD I was happy to check tracks 1 and 2 with a big tick. Thereafter, I wasn't so sure about some of the other tracks. I thought it sounded like Sheryl was straining her voice sometimes. However I listened again, and the songs rapidly grew on me. I thought 'Out Of Our Heads' was the weakest track and it is now one of my favourites. I can only put my hesitance down to Sheryl going back to her best. The style is reminiscent of Tuesday Night Music Club all the way back in 1993, and it's been so long since I've heard it, but then I remembered that's the music I loved her for.
This is classic Crow and is a must for anyone with ears!
