...album of deeply sultry roots-pop music that touches on everything from Dusty Springfield soul to down-home slide guitar blues. Tapping the crucial lode where familiarity and freshness commingle, the whole thing was written and played by Lynne and Bill Bottrell, who demonstrates that his tenure in Sheryl Crow's Tuesday Night Music clubhouse was no fluke...
Still, it's hard to truly hate cover versions. I feel anything that brings a good song back to attention is a good thing, even if the cover is execrable (hello, Sheryl Crow). Marilyn Manson is going to cover "Suicide is Painless"-the theme song to M*A*S*H-on the soundtrack to the Blair Witch Project sequel. Is it just me, or is the whole Manson thing way too tired? But it's a great song, so bleak ("Suicide is painless/It brings on many changes/And I can take or leave it as I please") that the lyrics...
...Acts who broke through in the '80s and '90s opened the show. A newly blond Sheryl Crow strutted her stuff in Victorian hippie garb followed by Hendrix aficionado Lenny Kravitz (playing rather louder than the comfort zone for most middle-aged Democrats), a soberly besuited Jon Bon Jovi and a beaming k.d. lang.

When the artist roster first reached back into the 1970s it yielded the laid-back Buffet, who revealed the "play...
...musical acts embracing the last 35 years in contemporary music. But it was telling that the majority of the artists - and the audience -came of age in the baby boomer generation's halcyon years - the '60s and '70s. Even the show's younger performers, such as Lenny Kravitz and Sheryl Crow, are aligned musically with the traditions of that era rather than the current trends of dance, hip-hop and lite...
...Young Guns But in an evening where musicians perform their own hits, the most telling statements come from the songs specially chosen for the occasion. Far and away the night's most unexpected choice (and most successful) was the collaboration by Jon Bon Jovi, Sheryl Crow and Lenny Kravitz. Bon Jovi, wryly acknowledging that Gore and Lieberman's favorite band was more likely the Beatles than his own Bon Jovi, announced their choice. The three teamed up on a powerful rendition of John Lennon's 1968 political proclamation "Revolution." Not the genteel doo-wop version from the White Album...
