Three tracks carry only her name, the first solo credits anywhere in the catalogue. Jeff Trott arrives here and writes on six, starting a partnership that runs another twenty years. She produced it alone, which is the real break from the album before.

Sheryl Crow came out on A&M in September 1996, produced by Crow herself after the writing circle broke up, and has sold 2,446,000 in the United States. It is certified 3x platinum.
