The launch of her career has not come without conflict. Sheryl Crow’s breakthrough album, Tuesday Night Music Club (2004) is as remembered for the singles “All I Wanna Do” and “String Enough” as it is for the dispute over who wrote the songs. The conflict has still not been put to rest to this day, although it has simmered down some.

Sheryl’s politically charged lyric of her self-titled album in 1996 drew a ban from Wal-Mart when one of her songs suggested that the guns they sold could too easily land in the hands of children. The album as a whole commented on abortion, homelessness, and nuclear war. The songs remain a hit at concerts, and people buy tickets just to hear Crow sing “If It Makes You Happy”, “A Change Would Do You Good”, “Home”, and “Everyday Is A Winding Road”.

The singer has made headlines with her choice in men and her own struggle with breast cancer. The Lilith Fair singer has seen her record sales drop as the century has turned, but her tours still sell out of concert tickets. Sheryl Crow remains a platinum selling artist and has expanded her repertoire to movie soundtracks.

Her latest release, Detours has hit number two on the charts and continues to be a strong statement of the Grammy Award winning singers comeback to the main stage.
