Sheryl Crow - Rise Up - Non-Album Tracks (2008)

Sheryl Crow was quite a busy musician in 2008. She released the studio album "Detours," the Christmas album "Home from Christmas," then still had enough stray tracks on top of that for me to compile this album.

I have to admit that I'm not usually a fan of Christmas albums, though there are a few exceptions. So I took the three songs from her Christmas album that I liked the most and sprinkled them into this album.

A couple of songs, "Doctor My Eyes" and "Rise Up," are bonus tracks from the "Detours" album. Two more, "Evangeline" and "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding," are live versions that have been officially released. 

Everything else is unreleased. "Cross Creek Road" is an outtake from the "Detours" session, with sound quality that would make you think it was released. The remaining two songs, "Fire and Rain" and "Crossroads," are from soundboard quality concert bootlegs.

Two more songs, "Higher Ground" and "Mean to Me," are only bonus tracks due to sound quality issues. They don't sound bad, but they're not as good as the rest.

This album is 39 minutes long, not including the two bonus tracks.
