Here's what I'm giving Sheryl Crow for her birthday

Okay, I admit it. I love Sheryl Crow, and I don't care who knows it. What's more, I've loved her from the moment in 1993 when I first heard "Strong Enough" on the radio, and I thought to myself, This is a woman with balls. Her debut album included massive radio hits (including the previously mentioned song) like "Leaving Las Vegas," All I Wanna Do," "Can't Cry Anymore," and others -- in fact, every song on her debut album got radio play.
What typically happens with singer/songwriters is that by the time they do their first CD, they've already written over 100 songs, and they cull those down to the top 10 or 11 to put on the disc. Then they start touring to support the album, and discover they have absolutely no time or energy left to write any decent material for the second album. That's the way it happens 999 times out of 1000. Except that Sheryl Crow's second album was every bit as brilliant as her first one, with hits like "A Change Would Do You Good," "Home," "If it Makes You Happy," and "Every Day is a Winding Road."
It was her third album, The Globe Sessions, that features "The Difficult Kind," a song that just blew me away with the power of its lyrics and the beauty of its melody.
Thanks for the song, Sheryl. And happy 49th birthday from Jamie and Dennis.
