Recording information: Sound City, Van Nuys, Caliofrnia (1999).
Her first album was studded with talented session men, but Crow's second release found her handling multi-instrumental chores with an ease that established her as a renaissance woman to be reckoned with. GLOBE SESSIONS features some famous friends, like Wendy Melvoin (of Prince fame), Heartbreaker Benmont Tench and producer Mitchell Froom (he's strictly an accompanist here; the multi-talented Crow is sole producer here). The vision presented is solidly Crow's, though. A bit more of a mixed bag than her previous work, GLOBE dips into funky, syncopated material, hard-hitting rock, and rootsy folk-rock. Dylan fans should note that Crow lends her vibrant vocal stylings to a previously unrecorded Dylan tune, "Mississippi." The loose, offhanded feel of this album contrasts her previous, more carefully constructed recordings nicely.
Industry Reviews
4 Stars (out of 5) - ...Crow de-emphasizes stylistic consistency in favor of unrestrained emotion. The songs often concern broken romances and the extremes to which Crow's characters will go to fix them or just let go...
