I had always associated Deep Purple with smoke on the water and a simple uninspired sound, but I was very wrong. They definitely listened to some Hendrix before writing this album because I can see a lot of the influence. Really enjoyed the synths throughout the record. I also like how the vocals feel like an instrument harmonizing with the rest of the band, rather than overpowering the whole song.

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Run Baby Run, Leaving Las Vegas, Solidify, The Na-Na Song, Wha Can I Do For You Cutting Edge: Strong Enough, Can't Cry Anymore Overall Notes: Actually liked this one a good bit. Kinda felt like junk food in comparison to the other albums we've been listening to in that it didn't take that much focus to enjoy, but still pretty good.

I think Sheryl Crow is under-rated as a singer/songwriter. Vocally, she's like a perfect combination of all 90's female vocalists - Gwen Stefani, Shania Twain, that lady from Garbage - but still uniquely her own. On the songwriting front, her stuff is still "poppy" and accessible, but not cookie-cutter or predictable. It's too bad Run, Baby, Run isn't more well-known. It's a great tune. Also, this brought back memories of playing "All I Wanna Do" on my bass guitar - one of the first things I taught myself how to play.

Sheryl Crow is so confusing for me since when I hear her I can tell she is great but somehow I am not target for her songs. All I wanna do is still such a bop that I can not give this bad rating. She is everything Taylor Swift should be but never will.

I'll admit it--I snoozed on this album the day this system presented it to me. Listening now, a day later, and I have to say it's great. Classic singer-songwriter music, but with surprisingly wide-ranging influences and overall a really fun listen.

I had a predisposition to not like this - sure I've heard the singles which were fine - but I remember reading an article a few years after its release about how Crow was either claiming exclusive songwriting or dismissing others' contributions to it. I realize that should have nothing to do with enjoying an album or not :D but it kinda does... (anyways it's all disputed anyways so who tf cares) but Sheryl is starting from behind the blocks already as I put this on... But ok I admit this first song "Run, Baby, Run" is great - some really nice subtly-different chord changes; probably ends up being my favourite song on the album. After that it's fine - I went back and forth almost within each song. Sometimes her voice is a little shrill and hard to take, other times I really like it. The music is varied and put together really well but for me overall it's just "nice" - probably deserves more than a 3 and I could see people loving it (could i equivocate more?) - ok summing up with: "worth a listen". 7/10 3 stars

Más allá de que el disco es de 1993, ella en mi cabeza es muy representación de los 90s. Tengo taladrado en el hipotálamo 'Soak Up The Son' (video de ella tocando la guitarra en la playa con surfers. Esa información ridícula que mi cerebro recuerda). Ese tema no está en este disco pero es el que más recuerdo de ella, obvio que está su versión (muy buena) de 'Sweet Child O' Mine' y el mega mega meeeeeeeega hitero "All I Wanna Do'. El tema que más me gusta el disco es 'We Do What We Can'. Buena letra y lindo quilombo sonoro. El disco es un círculo perfecto. ¿Lo escucharía nuevamente? Probablemente no pero 'All I Wanna Do' si aparece en la radio, te la canto a los gritos. 8 de 10 ludomatics.

Le nom de cet album tombe à pique puisque je voulais justement aborder un sujet qui crée des sueurs froides à Robert en ce moment. Vous avez sans doute remarqué que je participe depuis quelques semaines à des soirées karaoké (j'ai d'ailleurs gagné la dernière et remporté la somme de cinquante euros en bons d'achat). Si l'ambiance y est évidemment excellente, un énorme problème se pose : le septième commandement de Robert (« 7. Tu n'écouteras les albums qu'après leur génération, quand bien même tu les connaîtrais déjà ») est soumis à rude épreuve pour ne pas dire totalement violé à chaque fois dans la mesure où de nombreux tubes encore non-générés parviennent chaque semaine à mes oreilles. Robert m'appela donc ce jeudi matin pour me demander des explications et pour la première fois, je décidai de lui tenir tête ; hors de question pour moi de renoncer à ces soirées. Robert a d'ores et déjà annoncé vouloir m'appliquer des sanctions et projette dans un premier temps de geler mon enceinte JBL, je vous tiendrai au courant de la suite des évènements.

surprisingly really enjoyed this album. thought Leaving Las Vegas and Strong Enough back to back was really great. I always forget that Sheryl Crow is older than you think (was in her 30s in the early 90s) - which makes some of the references to the 60s in the songs make a lot more sense.

Sheryl’s got some hits, some songs with lots of sing-a-long-ability. But as an artist she just doesn’t resonate with me or evoke any powerful feelings. She evokes mediocre feelings at best. No catharsis, some fun. That’s it. And what is with the name of this album?? It’s so hokey.

Sheryl has a nice voice and you probably have to have been living under a rock not to know her hits. The upbeat poppy tunes are fun and easy to listen to, but the sad and slow tunes are a miss for me. Overall it was alright, I liked the opening tracks and All I Wanna Do is a good tune, otherwise fairly unremarkable singer-songwriter fare.

I’m predisposed to have at least a begrudging respect for a lot of music from this era, as I was a thirteen year old and it was part of the ethereal backdrop of my musical upbringing. Something that strikes me about the music of the early 90’s compared to the music of the 80’s, is the stark contrast in sound. The 1980’s were about excess, wether it be in terms of music production or cocaine consumption. In the early 90’s, like a light switch flipping, everything became more stripped back, grounded and down to earth. It was incredibly refreshing, even as a kid. There was at least the illusion that anyone could do it, you didn’t have to have a multi-million dollar budget, everything didn’t have to be huge…you could let your music speak for itself. Gone were the days of style over substance and that would turn out to be a formative experience in my life. So Sheryl Crow’s debut record hits right for me, because it is exactly that: a stripped back, down to earth, no frills record, with good songs and musicianship. It’s not a record I’ll seek out or add to my collection, but it’s quite good and was an enjoyable listen.

Que dificil me es escuchar Sheryl Crow, no porque sea mala sino porque lo que hace jamas resonó en mi. Me suena a musica que deberia sonar bajito en la barra de un var medio vacio mientras lloras porque esa hija de puta te dejo por otro. Me gusta mucho como el organo acompaña de fondo en casi todos los temas. No termino de identificar que genero seria. Como un country medio comercial devenido en pop? Me suena a la antesala a lo que fue John Mayer en Born and Raised. Tambien escucho muchas cosas que despues aparecieron en el album Music de Madonna. Será que esto influenció todo eso? Regardless, todo esta muy en linea de lo que se escuchaba en esa epoca, casi que pasa por un disco de Natalie Umbriglia. Las letras son muy lindas, tambien de la epoca. Can't cry anymore parece escrita por Tom Petty directamente, como punto a favor. Acá nacio la musica para cafeterias? Claramente el disco es bueno, pero no lo escucharia seguido.

Sheryl Crow was to 90s girl pop/rock what Sarah McLachlan is/was to the SPCA, except one is very meaningful in spite of the depression. California/beach/sunny rock/pop or however one can describe this album is okay at best. If this were reviewed in 1993 and not 2021, the opinion would likely be way more positive. However, if one believes that music should in some way transcend the era in which it was released and remain a positive nostalgic experience, then Tuesday Night Music Club might leave you disappointed. All this listener wants to do is try to move on till the sun comes down and a new album is generated.

Genre: Pop Rock 2/5 Well, here it is: the first real stinker. I’m interested to read the blurb in the book for this one, because there was nothing truly redeemable here at all. This was almost as stale and formulaic as a pop rock album could possibly be, mixed in with some absolutely bizarre production choices. All I Wanna Do is a fine song, but sandwiched in between cuts like Solidify, The Na-Na Song, and We Do What We Can… I shiver at the thought of listening to these again. Skip this one, if you haven’t already.

Pretty beige in the most part. Alanis Morrissette without the anger, pain, and lyrical cleverness. Run Baby Run and All I Wanna Do are good enough pop songs, but it's all a bit bland with a couple of real stinkers in there (yes, I'm looking at you, Solidify and The Na-Na Song). 2/5.

Apparently Shez has shifted 50 million albums while in comparison Van Gogh's brother took pity on him and bought one of his paintings, his only sale. Go figure huh? And on that, any retail time travel would have to include popping into Arles about 1888, "Vince, I'll take 20 of these my son, how's 20 francs sound"? But I truly digress. Right, I'm feeling massively underwhelmed yet again, what was Dimery smoking with this one? All I Wanna Do is the best song Ricki Lee Jones song Ricki Lee Jones never recorded. It is very cool, great bass line, wonderful arrangement. It's a groove and her voice sounds absolutely nothing like her other tunes, which is why its so good. This is not just about it being the big one hit, it sounds like it came from another artist, another record, another time, another place. And it is superb. The country tinged songs are good, Strong Enough and Can't Cry Anymore, and would have made great Chicks tunes, they'd have really taken them somewhere else. And The Na Na is another lift on the Too Much Monkey Business/Subterranean Homesick/Pump it Up conveyor belt, though Olivia Rodrigo has now done what Sheryl can't do here. The rest, what can I say? Not much. Although I'm sure Aldous Huxley, late of Bloomsbury and Brave New World, would have been utterly bemused to be name checked on this mediocre record. 2 for the Ricki Lee song.

Really liked no one said it would be easy, what I can do for you, we do what we can. Sheryl crow has a very recognizable voice. Smoky and sultry, enjoy the way she layers her voice for choruses. She has an incredible blend of rock, pop, blues, jazz. This was her debut album. The initial one was scrapped but is leaked on internet. Mental note to find that as she deemed it to be overproduced. This one is definitely raw-just her full-hearted vocals and instrumentals. Incredible album.

I listened to a lot of top 40 radio in the 90's, so I'm pretty familiar with Sheryl Crow's singles, but this is my first time listening to a whole album of hers. I've always found her music pretty inoffensive, but it's never been something I've gravitated towards. I was underwhelmed to be assigned this album today, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. All of these songs are really well written, from the more reflective "Leaving Las Vegas," to the lighthearted "All I Wanna Do." The instrumentation on this album is great too, and I never noticed until today that there's a great use of a vibraslap (at least I think that's what I heard) on "All I Wanna Do." I really enjoyed the funky hook on "Solidify" and the rap-like flow of "The Na-Na Song." I often think of Sheryl Crow as primarily acoustic music, but this album proves that she can do it all. This album was completely under the radar for me, but I thought it was great. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to fire up a doobie, attend a political rally, and blast "Soak Up the Sun."

As a teenager I had a fairly sizeable teenage crush on Sheryl Crow - I don't believe unreasonably however I don't think she was really ever on the radar of my immediate peers. I'd never really listened to this album although I am fairly familiar with many of the songs (the most prominent of which, All I Wanna Do is actually my least favourite), but I wish I had, Sheryl just became even more attractive in my eyes, sexy and talented! I'm sure this will be some comfort to her

I bloody love Sheryl Crow. She's fantastic. Saw her at Glastonbury in 2019 and she was so so good. I really enjoyed this album but I definitely wouldn't say it's her best.

Opening track has some biiiiiiiig Sara Bareilles energy. Strong Enough is a certified banger. Its really interesting to hear her in her release. So much of her sonic landscape feels so different from what it would become. The country elements are there, but its such a pop record. All I Wanna Do is also certified banger status for good reason. We Do What We Can really sticks out on this album. In general a solid album with a set of weird closers.

This is an almost perfect record. I'm giving it a 4. It isn't top notch like the handful of records I'll likely be rating as a 5 here. But it represents a moment, after Grunge brought authentic (no gated snare drums) pop-rock back into the collective consciousness. So, records like this and Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms, etc. were able to thrive in all their organic and human glory. I love Sheryl Crow's voice and had a crush on her because of this record. My sister bought the CD. I stole it from her along with No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom. For sure, Sheryl Crow was important for opening my eyes to how much prettier music can be when there is a femal vocalist. Why she had to work with Kid Rock later on, I'll never know. That's too bad. Her song on the Cars soundtrack is good too.

I am very pleased this album is a part of the list. I listened to the excellent episode of Bandsplained they did on Sheryl and I really came to appreciate her music and career arc. But I had assumed that this would be a situation of one of the best selling albums of the decade with inescapable radio play and music videos on all the time but not critically appreciated. Much like the situation in this book of Shania Twain. Really like All I Wanna Do, Strong Enough and Can’t Cry Anymore. While it’s not on this record, If It Makes You Happy is top 10 (maybe 5) of the 90s.

To be honest I don't really like Sheryl Crow's voice, so I'm a bit biased against this album. That said, the actual lyrics and vocals are well done, so that regains some esteem in my eyes. I want to like this album more than I actually do. Obviously "All I Wanna Do" (fave track) is worth the price of admission alone, but the deep cuts are often solid too--personally I also loved "Leaving Los Vegas" and "No One Said It Would Be Easy." Overall solidly enjoyable but I'd only re-listen to about a third of the album.

First things first: All I Wanna Do is a brilliant, brilliant pop song with its evocative imagery and beyond-catchy chorus. (It once caused my exuberantly drunk brother-in-law to attack me and my husband with a lint roller.) That's a lot for the rest of the album to live up to and unfortunately it can't quite reach the bar. But Crow is a talented musician and this is some solid southern country rock mixed with a few other styles (smoky piano ballad We Do What We Can is another standout).
