Sheryl Crow is the second album by American singer Sheryl Crow, released in 1996 (see 1996 in music). Reaching #6 on the Billboard 200 and #5 on the UK Album Chart, Sheryl Crow has sold 2.9 million units in the US as of January 2008[1][2] and is certified 3x platinum. As of February 2008, it has sold 880,344 copies in the UK.

The song "Love Is a Good Thing" contains the lyrics "Watch out sister, watch out brother, watch our children while they kill each other with a gun they bought at Wal-Mart discount stores" (in criticism of Wal-Mart's gun sales policy). For this reason, sales of the album were banned at Wal-Mart stores.[3]

Sheryl Crow is featured in Vital Pop: 50 Essential Pop Albums list by Slant Magazine. Entertainment Weekly magazine placed the album at number 39 in their list of Top 100 Best Albums of the past 25 years.[4]
