Tuesday Night Music Club

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.

Fuck yes, also don't tell my friends I've been rocking out to Sheryl

“Excuse me, record company executive, sir - I’m a young artist and I’d like to know how to make a record whose songs will be played over grocery store PA systems for the rest of all time.” *Record Executive hands young artist a copy of Tuesday Night Music Club* End Scene.

Meh - middle of the road country / rock cross-over. Why did this make the list?

A great album! She's basically the female tom petty. A liberating and sometimes heartfelt album.

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.

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.

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.

A lot better than I expected

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.

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.

Just nicely plods along being nice and ploddy.

Worse than being incompetent is being boring. Ten times out of ten I'd prefer to listen to a car crash failure that had some ambition over coolly, competently delivered music that neither stirs the imagination nor gets the blood pumping.

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.

Just ok Well made but pretty vanilla really

I have tried listening to Sheryl Crow before and feel that I ought to like her. I gave this a good go, but just came, yet again, to the conclusion that I don't.

I GOT THIS ON MONDAY WACK! but it has some chill songs

A bit surprised by this one, but I loved it. Very close to a five but the middle was weaker than the start and finish. Still an album I would absolutely come back to Saved: Run, Baby, Run; Leaving Las Vegas; I Shall Believe

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’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.

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

I do not like Sheryl Crow. I find her to come across as low-effort and low-energy, the iceberg lettuce of rock and roll. She opened for the P!nk concert I went to a few weeks ago and I showed up late so I didn't have to see her. This album was still better than I expected. A begrudging 2 stars.

i have mad respect for shez and her ability to make a whole career from all i wanna do. the rest of this album is absolute and utter horse wank. each track gave me that instant turn this shit of vibe.

I gave it a fair shot (Sheryl's voice is pleasant) but... not my genre at all. Couldn't get into the songs/lyrics. A little grating at times.

I'm not a fan of predictable, formulaic pop and this is Exhibit 1. Move along folks, nothing to see or hear here. It must have been a stretch to include this album in the book.

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. 

2, One jammer on this but the others didn't do much for me

Some perfectly boring and forgettable singer/songwriter pop-rock. Not unpleasant, but it was a snooze.

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.

Meh not my cup of tea. Besides All I Wanna Do of course

5/5

Tuesday Night Music Club I’ve never listened to this even though I’m quite partial to a bit of Sheryl. All I Wanna Do, If It Makes You Happy, Everyday is a Winding Road, A Change Would Do You Good, Soak up the Sun and Steve McQueen are all great bits of classic pop/rock songwriting. That rock classicism is evident on Run Baby Run, but whereas those songs wear that classicism lightly, on this song it hangs a bit too heavy, feeling rather too studied and stifling. Leaving Las Vegas is much much better though, the acoustic rhythm guitar helping to give it that nice, loose, rootsy 70s rock feel, which suits her voice, and the melody and lyric is much better than Run Baby Run. Strong Enough is great too, a sweet acoustic ballad with a little groove. Can’t Cry Anymore is very nice too, again the loose rootsy feel working well with the melody, lyric and vocal. Solidify though sounds a bit out of place after those two songs, it has slickness not in keeping with the feel of the rest of the album. The Na-Na Song shares some similarities with We Didn’t Start the Fire and Bullet Comes, but has an agreeable jam feel to it, even if it is a bit lightweight. No One Said It Would Be Easy is superb though, a sad and teary country ballad, with some very tasteful guitar and bass and a great feel. What I Can Do For You reminds me of something I can’t quite place, but it's a nice track in the same rootsy vein, even if it's not one of the strongest You can see why All I Wanna Do was such a big hit, its slightly offbeat country pop brilliance is immediately evident, with its observational narrative verses and hooky chorus, and its very appealing evocation of drinking in the LA sun. I get the idea of We Do What We Can, but I don’t think it works that well, the jazzy feel doesn't quite hit the right mark and it’s not a particularly strong melody. I Shall Believe is great though, a rather lovely ballad with a country feel and a great hymnal atmosphere. It would be easy for this type of album and this type of music to end up in Counting Crows style middle of the road anodyne boringness, but, for the most part, it stays away from that. There is a warmth and feel to playing, but mainly I think it succeeds because it’s nice to hear this music from a female perspective, but also because she has a great soulful, expressive edge to her voice, singing the songs with conviction and authenticity. Overall this is probably a 3 or 4 songs away from being truly great. The warm, loose, rootsy core of the album in Leaving Las Vegas, Strong Enough, Can’t Cry Anymore, No One Said It Would Be Easy, What I Can Do For You, All I Wanna Do and I Shall Believe is excellent, but songs like Run Baby Run, Solidify and We Do What We Can unfortunately detract from the atmosphere those other songs create. It’s still a great listen though, and sits as and easy 4 for me 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ Playlist submission: Tempted by No One Said it Would Be Easy but All I Wanna Do is an undeniably great track, so I’ll go with that

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.

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.

A fine pop-rock album from a talented singer/songwriter that paid her dues. However nothing here makes me believe I'll listen more than this one time. 3 stars

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.

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.

Well. Wanted to like this. I love her voice and her popular songs are catchy as shit, but the rest of the album was just, meh. Wasn’t really wowed, but also didn’t hate it. Just, MEH

Disappointing. Like some songs, but a few stinkers on there (e.g. na-na song). All I wanna do is great though. 2.7

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.

Agradable, un disco genérico con buenos momentos de pop americano. Pero nada mas.

My favorite so far

Exceptional

My parents listened to this album at least once a weekend for like 5 years, so almost every song feels like a classic, tho it’s only because I personally have had way too much exposure to this album. I used to think it was kind of embarassing for my dad, who otherwise has cultivated an almost comically masculine persona, to be SO into Sheryl crow. But you know what? I get it. I love her too, Dad.

01) Run, Baby, Run - 10,0 02) Leaving Las Vegas - 10,0 03) Strong Enough - 10,0 04) Can't Cry Anymore - 10,0 05) Solidify - 9,0 06) The Na-Na Song - 8,5 07) No One Said It Would Be Easy - 8,0 08) What I Can Do For You - 7,5 09) All I Wanna Do - 10,0 10) We Do What We Can - 8,5 11) I Shall Believe - 10,0 TOTAL: 9,23 (93/100)

For me, "All I Wanna Do" is in contention for being THE song of the 90s. If not number 1, it's probably easily a top 10. It is so masterfully written. Track 1 is beautiful but I disagree with the placement. It's got a pretty sad rock ballad-y feel to it and I feel like this is an odd way to start an album- specially an album that has some great energy in it beyond this track. I think there are several others that would be a better fit as #1 instead. "Strong Enough" is a bit of a hidden gem on this album, with a beautiful chorus that sits on top of a cool conversation between a fretless bass and a slew of acoustic guitars. This is a very good song, and I will be learning how to play it today. She has an incredible knack for taking a track that just has a basic verse harmony and melody and then elevating it. It's like after 1 minute into writing a song she has this magic ability to say "let's do a big over the top pre-chorus, and yes I know that it will work because I am magic". Maybe it's a confidence thing. I miss pop / singer-songwriter albums like this. I feel like nowadays these types of artists are so obsessed with "their sounds" and living inside of their moodboards that you get super cohesive albums that are really good, but they don't really jump around too much inside of the singular albums. Maybe that's not a problem at all though (and maybe it's something that I've praised other times on this list)? When I think of the big pop acts right now, like Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, I think that many of their albums are all compartmentalized into their one thing. Taylor Swift is probably the most obvious one, with her "this is my folk heartbreak album", "this is my synth pop heartbreak album", but even Billie Eilish's most recent release "Hit Me Hard and Soft" is super cool and does a lot of interesting things, but it's all silo'd into that one album. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not trying to critique too hard, because that Billie Eilish album is one of my favorite records of the last some odd years, but this Sheryl Crow album excited me on an extra level because I got a cohesive collection that also had some boundary pushing inside of it. There's some funk guitars in there ("Solidify"), there's some Fiona Apple-esque vocal parts ("The Na-Na Song"), some bluegrass ("Strong Enough"), some electronic jazz ("We Do What We Can"), and some bonafide pop (twang disco pop??!?("All I Wanna Do")). After writing this section of my review while listening to "All I Wanna Do", it's become obvious that this is a 5/5 album. It has everything that I want in a record and I'm so glad it's come back to my attention. "Tuesday Night Music Club" is such a great name for an album, and this album art supports the title well. I want to listen further, I want to see what she has to offer.

Because of course!

Great album, you can see how she got so big

Great album

Crazy to think this album was a debut. Sheryl Crow is one of the best singer songwriter players in a generation. “I Shall Believe” is one of my favorites.

I love Sheryl Crow ;-)

I've heard a few songs before and liked them but discovered that there was a lot of other good music on this album as well.

I expected this to be 11 “All I Wanna Do”s. I was both wrong and right. I was wrong in that these songs are interesting and Dylanesque. But I was right in that even the hit “All I Wanna do” is weird and complex. So yeah, it is 11 “All I Wanna Do”s, but that’s a good thing.

test

Heard at least half of these wonderful songs, but never thought they were on one single album. Brilliant!

Man I should've given her a chance sooner

So I typically don’t like 90’s music, and Singer/Songwriter is one of my lowest rated categories in this project. This is an exception. I love Sheryl’s gravelly voice, the crisp acoustic guitar tracks, and the simple, yet well done arrangements. I read one review that said she is the female Tom Petty, and I can see that. I love the story telling aspect of each song. I just really enjoy this album. I used to have this on CD and listened to it all the time, then I think a coworker took it. I had not listened to this in years, and I’m genuinely glad this one came up today.

I am a tall, bearded man with a bald head and a love for powerlifting. And I absolutely adore this album — why on earth has nobody exposed me to this?

Run, Run, Run Strong Enough Can't Cry Anymore All I Wanna Do If it makes you happy Cijeli album je dobar

i feel like i was just possessed by the spirit of a woman going through a divorce in the 90’s for 50 minutes. loved it.

Good memories came to me.

Last few songs really caught my attention and all I wanna do is a classic

My kind of music! Love!!

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. Her self-titled album which came next is definitely the best and the one after that is also great so I'm surprised this album is here, nonetheless, it's great.

❤️❤️❤️

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

Never too much girl rock. Crow isn't my all time fave but I'd listen again.

Brilliant. Two of my all-time favourites (Leaving Las Vegas & Can't cry anymore) and the rest is good stuff, too - though the live acoustic versions are better.

not bad. твёрдое 4/5, душевно.

Yeah, good album

no into SC

Curioso. Cuando salió el disco, no me gustó nada. Pero actualmente sí. Es muy buena.

Curioso. Cuando salió el disco, no me gustó nada. Pero actualmente sí. Es muy buena.

Great 90s memories. Fabulous collection of songs.

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."

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 think I’ve heard this album before, but it has been a while. There are a lot of great songs on this and I really enjoyed hearing it again. A close listen to this album makes me realize how great a songwriter Sheryl Crow is.

I've loved this album since hearing Strong Enough when I was 12. A masterpiece. She never came close to this again.

It's amazing how well this album has aged. It's just so good. So, so good.

I like a lot of Sheryl’s songs if not always her singing. But if she were a better vocalist, she’d be Fiona Apple or Norah Jones. And if she were a male, she (he?) would be Tom Petty or John Hiatt. And we already have all of those. So she fits perfectly just where she is.

Folk pop, but also country and jazz in here.

Really good. Pleasantly surprised by the variety of sounds. It's not all folk pop.

I completely forgot that I used to listen to this CD when I was younger! Memories! Raining on me! But I was like 12 (??) and it was just like, pop music or whatever, but then when this came up this morning I knew it would somehow be spiritual AND IT WAS !! My mind is kind of blown and I think I might be obsessed with Sheryl Crow now.

Een dame met gitaar, rifjes en licks, een beetje blues, een snufje country, lekkere feel-goodmuziek kortom. Wel een beetje van het type waar kruidenthee, een dekentje en een berg chocola bij moet, want een beetje wijvenmuziek is het wel. Maar goede wijvenmuziek.

Good vocals, fun album

Okay, I'll admit that I rolled my eyes a little when I saw this album on the list, but this album holds up so much better than I thought it would. There's a variety of genres mixed in here while still staying true to its blues roots. The music is fun and takes you through a bunch of moods. Her voice sounds great. 4/5 This is a much better album than I remember it being. I think my perception of Sheryl Crow might have been colored by the fact that she tends to date douchebags like Eric Clapton and Lance Armstrong (no shade on you, Owen Wilson, you seem like a charming guy)

Sheryl Crow sings from her own life, in ways that anyone can relate to even if they did not have the exact same experience. “The Na-Na Song” had some great word play while bringing her bitter experience with harassment from those who have power over others. My favorite song was “We Do What We Can”. I added it to my favorites to listen to again whenever i am in a sad mood thinking of those who have passed but touched my life and what their dreams were, and of course how i wish to do what i can towards what matters to me

Very much enjoyed!

Great songwriter. This album had a lot of familiar songs and some new-to-me songs. Very different styles in each song. 4/5

I must be blessed to have this the day after Swift's 1989. This is what I expected that album to sound like. Poppy, but diverse in sound. Trendy, but also moody. There are some great songs here, like Run, Baby, Run, Solidify, and What I Can Do for You (and All I Wanna Do is a certified banger). I swear this is what people think T Swift actually sounds like.

A good album but not the very best Sheryl Crow album. Still enough for 4 stars or B+.

3.5/5

great album. hit after hit

Very good actually!

A little raw, but very enjoyable. I liked Leaving Las Vegas, Strong Enough, Cant Cry Anymore and All I Wanna Do. In general, the first ten songs are all pretty good. I don’t understand why they put on I Shall Believe and We Do What We Can. These were complete vibe shifts that Crows voice doesnt work as well on. 3.5 stars. Rounding up because Sheryl is hot

This album also threw me back to memories of first discovering my parents very limited CD collection in kindergarten. This album cover is absolutely seared into my mind, along with a few of the well known greatest hits albums - Seger, Eagles. My parents had incredibly simple music tastes - they were both focused on school for too many years when the great music from their generation was stirring up. My dad, heads down in med school at the time, once asked Jerry Harrison from the Talking Heads if they play a lot of shows around Milwaukee, thinking they were a local act. Despite that, he knew I was into music (or at least saw I sucked at sports) and was always interested in listening to or talking about music with me. He went way out of his way to take me to shows from a young age. First show I ever saw, in third grade, we were eating pizza together across from where the Goo Goo Dolls were playing, and he suggested we go, on a school night. He took me to a few Dave Matthews shows before I even finished grade school, later saw McCartney, more recently the Stones. I hadn’t thought about it in a long time, but seeing this album cover reminded me of that very small stack of CDs - the 90s parents canon of sorts. Makes me re-appreciate the interest he took in discovering new music along with me. As for this album and music, man I still love 90s music so much, and this album is a perfect time capsule of that era.

It’s. Favorite of mine

Possible reasons why I put off this album: -didn't feel like it -don't like Sheryl Crow -too busy Actual reason why I put off this album: - It wasn't Tuesday night I must have heard "Leaving Las Vegas" at a young age, since hearing it scratches an odd itch. I know that "All I Wanna Do" and her later single "Soak Up the Sun" were on aggressive rotation at my local radio station. Still, a delightful, easygoing folky album that balances with the darker, heavier records I've been listening to (it's almost Halloween, c'mon) the night of Tuesday, October 29

4 Stars

Sheryl Crow is my waifu
