Overview Edit

Wildflower is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, first released September 27, 2005. Although the album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, it received mixed reviews and was not as commercially successful as previous albums, having also peaked at #25 on the UK Album Chart (where all her previous studio albums had been Top 10 successes).

In December 2005, however, the album was nominated for a Best Pop Vocal Album Grammy Award, while Sheryl Crow was nominated for a Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy Award for the song "Good Is Good".

The album was certified platinum in the U.S. in December 2005, and as of January 2008, it had sold 949,000 units (over the counter) there.

A deluxe edition of the CD was also released, which contains an additional DVD featuring acoustic versions of many of the album's tracks, as well as the promotional video for the lead single "Good Is Good".

4 stars Wildflower Grows
Sheryl Crow has every reason to be happy. She's at the peak of her musical game and she's engaged to Lance Armstrong. One would think that her next album would be full of songs dedicated to the happiness of life and love. Wildflower is not that record. It is a string-laden and filled with lovelorn ballads. The orchestration is beautiful and the lyrics contain Ms. Crow's usual sharp incites. The album isn't as immediate as her other works, the songs are deeper and darker. There is one exception, …

3 stars after a few songs it all sounds the same
Sheryl Crow has made some fine albums, but this is the exception.

Sheryl trades in her electric guitar for a piano and an acousitc guitar.

Sheryl is still writing some good lyrics, they are just not about the same things. She is writing about love and relationships.

There are some good songs on the album. "I know Why" leads the album off in good form. "Good is Good" is also another performance of note.

"Chances are" almost sounds like something George Harrison would have done on Sgt Pepper, with…
