Sheryl Crow is the second studio album by
American singer Sheryl Crow,
released on September 24, 1996 by A&M Records.
Unlike its predecessor Tuesday Night
Music Club, which was written by a casual
collective formed by Crow and several other musicians, Sheryl Crow was entirely
produced by Crow, who wrote most of the songs alone or with only one
collaborator. Most of the album was recorded at Kingsway Studios in New Orleans,
Louisiana. The album covers topics of American life, relationship breakups, and
moral and ethical issues, while encompassing a variety of music genres such as rock, blues, alternative rock, country, and folk.
Sheryl Crow was a commercial success, being
certified 3× platinum by the RIAA and 3× platinum
by the BPI.
It also reached Nº 6 on the US Billboard Top 200 chart and produced five singles, including the international
hit "If It Makes
You Happy". The album received very positive reviews from critics,
who praised its intricate production and Crow's louder and more assured
singing. At the 39th Annual
Grammy Awards, the album was awarded Best Rock
Album and Crow received the Best Female Rock Vocal Performance award for "If It Makes You Happy". Retrospectively, it is often
regarded as Crow's best album.
"The First Cut Is the Deepest" is a
1967 song written by Cat Stevens,
originally released by P. P. Arnold in May
1967. Stevens' own version originally appeared on his álbum New Masters in
December 1967.
The song has been widely recorded and has
become a hit single for six different artists: P. P. Arnold(1967), Norma Fraser(1967),
Keith Hampshire(1973), Rod Stewart(1977), Dawn Penn(1994), Papa Dee(1995)
and Sheryl Crow(2003).
I would have given
you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taking just all that I had
But if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the
deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse
I still want you by
my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure gonna give you a try
If you want, I'll try to love again, try
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know, oh
The first cut is the
deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse
I still want you by
my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'Cause if you want, I'll try to love again
(Try to love again, try to love again)
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know, oh
The first cut is the
deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse, oh oh
The first cut is the
deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
Try to love again.
