5 out of 5 stars Classic And Simple Sheryl.......2004-11-20

I haven't listened to Sheryl Crow's music in a few months, and for someone like myself who cannot live without music, that is a very long time. I popped her debut album on about 30 minutes ago and was blown away by the excellence that exudes from Sheryl, her vocals, her slick lyrical themes and her cool-cat style! What can I say, the woman is a true female rock icon - not quite as brilliant as Alanis Morissette, but very high up there! That debut album, "Tuesday Night Music Club," propelled Ms Crow to international superstardom in the mid-1990's, spawning countless massive hits that fuse country, pop, rock and folk. One of these songs was "Strong Enough," and is one of the album's best songs in my opinion.

I'm very disappointed to see that Amazon don't have all the singles from this album (such as "Leaving Las Vegas," "All I Wanna Do" and "Run, Baby, Run"), because I would have definitely reviewed them. Instead all it has to offer is "Strong Enough" and "Can't Cry Anymore," the latter I feel being the better of the two. This song, however, is such a content and simplistic piece of light pop. The lyrics are gentle, calming and the beat is very soothing. I could chill out to this song anyday - preferably on the back porch overlooking fields in the middle of the countryside as the sun sets. I'm aware that sounds corny, but just picture yourself there and you'll find yourself in agreement...

Strong Enough opens with a gentle hum and the soft plucking of guitar strings. Sheryl opens with the first verse, "God I feel like Hell tonight. Tears of rage I cannot fight. I'd be the last to help you understand. Are you strong enough to be my man? My man." What Sheryl actually does here is blend the verse with the chorus, ever so simply and sweetly. She then continues, "Nothing's true and nothing's right. So let me be alone tonight. You can't change the way I am. Are you strong enough to be my man?" She then sings the bridge, "Lie to me. I promise I'll believe. Lie to me. But please don't leave." A short instrumental then kicks in before she then continues with, "I have a face I cannot show. I make the rules up as I go. It's try and love me if you can. Are you strong enough to be my man? My man." A soft interlude then follows where you can relax and really enjoy this song's relaxing effect as Sheryl and backing singers harmonize. Sheryl then continues with, "When I've shown you that I just don't care. When I'm throwing punches in the air. When I'm broken down and cannot stand. Will you be man enough to be my man? Lie to me. I promise I'll believe. Lie to me. But please don't leave."

The song then ends softly as it started, leaving you with a fine Sheryl classic. You don't even notice the song much when you just think of the songs on this album because it passes by almost unnoticed, not because it's a poor song, but more because it is soft, understated and subdued. In conclusion, a brilliant piece of soft, light rock-pop from one of rock's finest solo female artists.

3 out of 5 stars SHERYL CROW Strong Enough [Maxi Single] [CD-SINGLE].......1999-12-01

I really did not care for the live version of all I Wanna Do. Artists do not seem to know when they have a good song and they should leave it alone. I thought Strong Enough was a good song on this cd.
