This summer could be the single's swan song. Fewer than half of the Top 100 songs in the country are available for individual purchase. The great shame is that from Sheryl Crow to Ashanti to Toby Keith, the summer of 2002 has produced a bumper crop of wonderfully disposable, inexplicably indelible singles--none of which are available as singles.

On her previous album, 1998's brooding The Globe Sessions, the balance between sullen and saucy got out of whack. Here Crow tries to set things right by not bumming anybody out. Starting with the exuberant Steve McQueen, she launches into a relentless pursuit of good times and an echo of her first hit, singing, "I want to rock...
