Sheryl Crow's 'Evolution' Review
, five years ago, she’d essentially retired from making albums. With its all-star cast, from Willie Nelson and Neil Young through St. Vincent and Jason Isbell, her 2019 LPtruly felt like a retirement party attended by all her musician pals; all that was missing was a gold watch. But like many before her, Crow couldn’t cure herself of the music-making bug, and out of record retirement she’s come withIt would be easy to be cynical about it, but Crow’s return has an added bonus.
You can hear it in “Do It Again,” where she giddily blows off self-help gurus, or the romping “Alarm Clock,” where all she wants to do is have some fun by staying in bed and having dreams of being served by a waiter who resembles Timothée Chalamet. From its strumming intro to its power-charged chorus, “You Can’t Change the Weather” pushes all the Crow buttons. With its allusions to couples therapy and piano-and-strings arrangement, “Don’t Walk Away” could have been beyond soppy.
Crow may have had other motivations for making records again. On the title song, she grouses about AI, and “Broken Record,” which rhymes “trending” and “unfriending” for probably the first time in a pop song, may be the pissiest song she’s ever made. But she wraps up her return—a ten-song record that doesn’t overstay its welcome—with “Waiting in the Wings.” It’s the kind of mid-tempo, lean-on-me song that would be beyond cornball in anyone else’s hands.
