shipping issues
The envelope was torn 3/4 open and the plastic casing was completely smashed. The CD is a good one but arrived in poor condition. Two songs skip but I needed it for my anniversary song (which fortunately plays fine) so I didn't have time to go about seeking retribution. Very, very dissapointing.


Cheryl is wonderfully gifted musically, lyrically and she's so funny!
She touches my heart as noone else can and she is so funny. I would love to see Cheryl at least once a month. I have seen her in concert two or three times and bust a gut every time. The best thing about Cheryl is her ability to touch my heart with her words. Little Road, Mrs. P's Guitar, Alice are all thoughts that we have thought of ourselves but have never put into words. She has such a gift. I'm so happy that she found it and she is sharing it with the rest of us.


A "Best-Of" for good reason
Best Tracks: . . just pick one. . .

Different Stripe is a true collection of Cheryl Wheeler's greatest efforts. The tracks found on this album happily take the listener into Cheryl's world, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes thoughtful--and somehow always enjoyable.

This album feels much like a gathering of friends sitting around and playing music together. The songs are seemingly drawn from those closest to Cheryl which allows her to breath life and feeling into each one. Whether she's singing of her neighbors like in Quarter Moon, or 75 September; or love that didn't quite connect as in Almost or Aces.

For those that aren't which album of Cheryl's to start with--this is a great place to start. And happily move to the others from here.

Best of the Best
After discovering Cheryl Wheeler through a friend, I have done my best to share that wonderful talent with as many people as possible. If I had to choose one album to listen to for the rest of my life, this one would be it. Last night we took some friends to a fantastic performance in Ann Arbor, and she has even more fans today. Her beautiful lyrics, and hauntingly simple melodies, make you feel as if she has always been a part of your life, and knows exactly how you feel.
Add to that her wonderful sense of humor, and great ability to change gears in a heartbeat, and you have one of the most versatile, honest performers to grace any stage. How lucky are we to see her in an intimate venue like The Ark! Please hurry back, Cheryl.


A great performer, a super CD
She is the consummate storyteller with a wonderful voice and sense of humor. I'm late learning about Cheryl Wheeler and her gifts as a singer, songwriter, and best of all performer (including sit-down comedy!). This CD, my first, seemed like the best place to start . . . a nice mix. I listen often and very much enjoy it.
