Sheryl Crow's performance at Casino Rama on Wed, Aug 11th was a fun, lively and purely fantastic introduction to her latest album "100 miles from Memphis."
From start to finish, Sheryl engaged the audience with her enthusiastic performances of songs from her new album and many favourites from her stellar catalogue of music through the years. The new music is her best in years, and her new band "The Thieves" rocked out beautifully. One complaint at this venue on this occasion the sound mixing could have been better. As great a band as The Thieves are, they frequently over-powered Sheryl's vocals volume-wise which was unfortunate to anyone unfamiliar with song lyrics. That said, Sheryl Crow's voice was in top form, which was clearly evident in the slower, quieter numbers, and the performance level was high energy throughout the concert. Such a great time. If you know and like even one Sheryl Crow song, you should check out this concert. She'll most definitely have you out shopping for the new cd, if not a few earlier discs as well.
