Sheryl Crow at Irving Plaza, NYC

Sheryl Crow
February 6, 2008

Strumming her guitar and decked out in weathered jeans and a vest the color of ripened pomegranate, Sheryl Crow looked seventies-hippie chic. Crow portrayed a confident and engaging persona. She shook her ass and entertained the crowd with sassy and sarcastic banter. Her set consisted of songs plumbed from past albums and her new one, “Detours,” a politically-laced and personal record, which she promoted during the gig. “You can buy it or steal it. I don’t care, just listen to it," she said. The show climaxed to “Gasoline,” a song about a future society free from oil and political manacles—an obvious nod to the Bush administration. Her parting words show that her last two years didn’t break her: “All I wanna do is have some fun, no matter how fucked up things are.” A fierce flower child for sure.
