Sheryl Crow is the second album by American singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow, released in 1996 (see 1996 in music). The album sold over four million copies, though Sheryl lost an estimated 400,000 sales[citation needed] as a result of an editorial comment in the song "Love Is a Good Thing". She says, "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 and minors). As a result, Wal-Mart banned the album from their stores.
