Hey! If it makes you happy ...
2004-12-13
If you're even a casual fan of Sheryl Crow's music, then this DVD is for you ... and if you're a true fan (like me), it's a must-have! Here is a wonderful collection of her greatest hits offering sound so superbly crisp and clear that her fascinating and thought-provoking lyrics are perfectly balanced with their musical accompaniment. I own all her CDs, and found the sound on this DVD to be remarkably pure and sharp in comparison.
My enjoyment of Crow's music was increased ten-fold by the addition of the videos. Crow has an incredibly expressive face and a lithe body; her songs are even more impressive when she interprets them stylistically. My own favorites are "If It Makes You Happy" which casts Crow as an exhibit in a museum dedicated to Endangered Species; "All I Wanna Do", her breakthrough hit which is sung outside an abandoned theater with people floating about in the night like hot air balloons; and "Soak Up the Sun" which was shot in Hawaii and alternates clips of outdoor sports and partying with shots of Crow singing on a beach under a palm tree. My personal biases aside, it's undeniable that each of the videos offers an interesting interpretation of the featured song's concept. Overall, this DVD is very highly recommended, and worth owning whether your primary interest is in watching the videos or simply owning a crystal clear collection of the talented Crow's greatest musical hits to date.
Great!!

After hearing "The First Cut is The Deepest" on the radio I decided to buy Sheryl Crow's "The Very Best..." cd and I am so glad I did. I was introduced to a wonderful musician! The videos are okay though. The best in my opinion are "Steve McQueen" "Everyday is a Winding Road" and "Soak Up The Sun". A must have for fans...
The Videos

I'm a big fan of Sheryl Crow. I find her music to be very intriguing and interesting to listen to, she is a fine songwriter and has a good sense of what good music is. Watching these videos, really heightens the songs for me. My favorite is hands down "Anything But Down", which I believe is one of her underrated songs. The video is very unique and engaging, and unlike anything I've seen. The wire that is holding the two people together, the push and pull, really represents the kind of relationship she is singing about in the song. Not all her videos are on here, which is a shame, but it's a good representation. Other favorites include "If It Makes You Happy", which has Sheryl inside a museum in many of the exhibits. "Soak Up The Sun" is visually appealing, it was shot in Hawaii. Overall a nice DVD for fans.
I see why Michael Jackson had her for a singer.

To hear this woman's soul, listen to "First Cut Is The Deepest" or "First Cut Is The Deepest (Live)". I see now why Michael Jackson had her for a backup singer. She has the voice.I bought this DVD through amazon.com because I have heard Cheryl Crow on the FM radio. I did not have MTV or cable so I was curious to what her music videos might look like. Being from the Beatles, Led Zeppelin era, I feel that this is a very good "best of album". And I have bought a lot of records in my time. The Steve McQueen video is the best. It is an actual song/video made for both eye and ear at the same time. The rest are not. Most of the videos are made after the songs are long done and recorded. But not to conflict in my opinions, "A Change Would Do You Good" is a clever insight into Sheryl Crow's "artistic mind". It is not unlike in substance with "Anything But Down". The DVD worked fine on my PC, which is how I watch all my music DVD's. As for the sound, it is excellent. They do not get sloppy here. For the final review: The producers spent a ton of money on her studio recordings but maybe a few bucks on the videos. The songs are the very best. The videos are not.
Razor sharp sound

I had already purchased C'Mon America and really enjoyed it. Therefore buying another Sheryl Crow DVD did not seem necessary. However the price dropped to $11 Canadian so I thought what could I lose?I am **stunned** at the sound quality. It is only a 2 channel recording but is extremely clear and rich. On my surround sound system running ProLogic II, this sounds much better than many Dolby 5.1 DVDs. My dvd player shows it is LPCM 48k/24b. Perhaps the 24 bit helps? Most of my other DVDs say 16 bit. On this DVD there are only 2 or 3 songs I did not like. The rest of them I really love. There are probably about 5 or 6 of the videos I did not like. They are some of the older videos. Several of the newer videos are really bright, colorful and entertaining. My 6 year old daughter really loves the "Soak Up the Sun" video. I do too. The drums at the start of "Everyday Is A Winding Road" are exceptional. They are loud and flip back and forth between left and right speakers. Cool. I could listen to them all day.
