On that record, Crow shook up her success by undercutting the retro-rock of Tuesday Night Music Club with loping looped beats and a skewed lyricism that kept even bright tunes like "A Change Will Do You Good" slightly off-kilter, but ever since that album her records grew increasingly mannered, as she whittled away her eccentricities. That's a decade's worth of life packed into two years, but these highs and lows - or Detours as she calls them - have led Crow to produce her liveliest, weirdest album since 1996's messy masterpiece Sheryl Crow. Around that same time, she separated from fiancé Lance Armstrong and, roughly a year later, she adopted a son. Crow survived a battle with breast cancer in February 2006. Nothing puts life in perspective like a brush with death, and that truism is brought into blazing relief on Sheryl Crow's sixth album, Detours.
