셰릴 크로우의 세번째 앨범, DTS ES 6.1로 제작!

AMG Rating : ★★★★

the globe session은 셰릴 크로우의 세번째 앨범이다.
이번에 새로 출시되는 dts 버전의 앨범은 오리지널 스테레오 앨범을 능가하는 새로운 음장과 다이내믹을 보여주며, dts 사가 dts 포맷의대중화를 위해 일신하려는 노력을 보여주는 첫 시도 중의 하나로볼 수 있다. 외관상으로는 기존의 cd 케이스가 아닌 새로운 형태의 케이스(emi claasical dvd 시리즈와 유사한)에 cd가 수납되어 있다는점, 또한 기존의 dts 5.1 surround 가 아닌, dts es 6.1로 제작되어 있다는 점이 그 좋은 예가 될 것이다. 이 플래티넘 앨범에는 그녀의 히트곡인 "my favorite mistake"와 밥 딜런의 미발표곡 "mississippi"가 수록되어 있다.이 앨범의 제작에 참여한 객원 뮤지션으로는 benmonth tench (tom petty & the heatbreakers), mitchell froom(los lobos), bobby keys(rolling stones), wendy melvoin(prince) 등이 포함되어 있다.
dts 사가 앞으로 dts 트랙이 포함된 dvd-audio 포맷의 음반들도 출시한다는 소식도 들리고 있어 애호가들을 들뜨게 하고 있으며, 일부 타이틀은 이미 dvd-audio로 출시되어 관심을 모으고 있는 중이다.(수입 예정)

since her dense, varied, post-modernist eponymous second album illustrated that sheryl crow was no one-album wonder, she wasn't left with as much to prove the third time around. having created an original variation on roots rock with sheryl crow, she was left with the dilemma of how to remain loyal to that sound without repeating herself on her third album, the globe sessions. to her credit, she never plays lazy, not when she's turning out stones-y rockers ("there goes the neighborhood") or when she's covering dylan (the remarkable "mississippi," an outtake from time out of mind). however, she has decided to abandon the layered, yard-sale production and pop-culture fixations that made sheryl crow a defining album of the mid-'90s. the globe sessions, instead, is the work of a craftsman, one who knows how to balance introspective songs with pop/rockers, one who knows how to exploit their signature sound while becoming slightly more eclectic. in that sense, the album is a lot like a latter-day album from her idols, the stones — it finds pleasures within the craft and the signature sound themselves. that means that there are no surprises (apart from the synthesized handclaps, of course) — the celtic homage "riverwide" may be new, but it's not unexpected, much like how the whiplash transition in "am i getting through" isn't entirely out of the blue — but that's not necessarily a bad thing, since the globe sessions has a strong set of songs. since it lacks the varied sonics, humor, and flat-out weirdness of sheryl crow, it's never quite as compelling a listen as its predecessor, yet it is a strong record, again confirming crow's position as one of the best roots-rockers of the '90s. — stephen thomas erlewine
