Tuesday Night Music Club

#287 Heard Before? Only the singles, believe it or not. Notes: - what a great voice, and she has wonderful command of it. impressive. - too bad she has nothing of interest to say, at least on this album. - i lost track eventually, but i think every song has the exact same structure. - every chorus repeats endlessly with almost no variation. - typical glossy 90s production with so many unnecessary and ugly elements sprinkled everywhere (synth pads, bad drums, pointlessly layered guitars, etc). "giving depth to the mix" drowns these lazy songs. Verdict: "We discovered this great talent! Let's rush her into the studio and get a committee and a focus group to make all the decisions!" Listen Again? No, thanks.

I actually liked this more than I thought I would. Easy road trip listening but also some classics like “all I want to do is have some fun”

Linda voz, pero no me genera nada. No conocía los hits que tiene el álbum y me sorprende que hayan sido tan escuchados ya que me parecen muy planos y meh todos los temas. De igual manera es mejor que varios discos que ni la letra ni la musica se entienden.

The popular tracks like Strong Enough, All I Wanna Do are solid. Most of the others are whining, trying too hard, forgettable. The Na-Na Song is a No-No!

Fairly enjoyable with recognizable hits

I knew the singles. I expected to like this one a bit more than I did, but there are no doubt some hits here.

There's musicianship here, but I can't hear anything that really makes it stand out. There is no nostalgia for me here either.

Känns lite generisk pop från 90-talet typ. Kanske var stilbildande eller så men det var inte så intressant lyssning, bortsett från bangern till singel som tyvärr inte räddar upp något. Helt ok, ingen iPod, och jag lär inte lyssna på det igen. 2/5

I feel god in this chilis tonight

Prima muziek, maar mij iets te rustig. Voelt als country muziek in een pop-jasje. Ik had meer verwacht van Sheryl Crow die we hier natuurlijk meer als pop-artiest kennen.

This is good enough to do great on the radio but on the whole it's not great. In fact Leaving Las Vegas is kinda bad. All I wanna Do is kinda fun. Overall this could definitely be worse though. One thing that's a little weird is the last 2 songs sound like they should be on a different album. Very good chance I'll never listen to this again.

Not a bad album at all, decent listen but probably not something I’d search out.

Сара 3 Марко 3,5

I can appreciate the history and it's pretty decent.

507/1001. I wrote a long mid-project review a few albums ago, and complained that there is not enough pop and too much rock (neither is really my personal favourite, it was more a comment about balance). Thus week I get Mafonna, Sheryl Crow and George Michael. What next? Should I summon more Japanese noise (which I also mentioned in the same review)? Sorry Sheryl, but I have to file Japanese noise more interesting than your music.

2.5/5 https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/sheryl-crow/tuesday-night-music-club/ Bit boring, innit? Just standard 90s 'alternative' rock stuff. It's not as bad as I'd imagined, but it's also just very much not interesting.

nice album

Не то чтобы особенно запомнилось, но плюсую за Оскар для Николаса Кейджа и за то, что сегодня пятница, а не вторник

не фанат - 3

Listened before? No Familiar with the artist? Yes Thoughts: - There's a bit of nostalgia with the singles here - definitely grew up hearing "All I Wanna Do" on the radio all the time. - Those 3-4 singles are still great, but the rest of the tracks aren't really that interesting to me. Favorite track(s): Strong Enough

Unfortunately this didn't really do much for me. Every song sounded pretty much the exact same.

It was fine. I’m shocked at how many listens some of her songs have on streaming

Hardly the most complex or innovative album on the list, so it's hard to articulate why I liked it so much other than "it's fun". It just hits a lot of the right notes for me personally! Standouts: Run, Baby, Run • Strong Enough • Can't Cry Anymore • The Na-Na Song • What I Can Do For You • All I Wanna Do • We Do What We Can

I have to say I never bought the Sheryl Crow hype. Her self titled album is on the Rolling Stone list and it got a great big meh from me. This album is similar. Run Baby Run and All I Want to Do were definitely standouts, but this whole album sounds very similar and extremely lifeless. She also does this wail with her voice on Leaving Las Vegas and a few other songs and it's extremely grating. I don't think they knew how to support her with the production.

All I want to do is have some fun too!

No One Said It Would Be Easy stood out. Heck of a debut album. Always enjoyed her voice. 3.5/5

Oh yeah, Sheryl Crow. I didn't expect to see her in this project. But why not? Back then, her album was really popular among my friends. I think we even had it in our collection. "All I Wanna Do" played over and over again. Her voice and the music are cool. It was nice to hear that again, even if it won't happen very often. 3/5

It's fine, nothing special

Very good album! Always wanted to listen to it. I really like her other 90s albums and just never got around to it.

I can’t decide on whether I think the cover is cool af or a mess. Anyways, this was a really fun debut album. More country esque but with a good degree of diversity in sounds throughout. It got decidedly slower after the blast that is the big single for this album (“All I Wanna Do”). “We do what we can” for example had very fiona apple vibes.

Sheryl Crow has always been an artist that I have liked, but never really dug into her catalog. My personal favorite is My Favorite Mistake, but she has plenty of others which are worth listening to, a few of which are on this record. Leaving Las Vegas, Strong Enough, and All I Wanna Do are the recognizable ones on this, all good in their own right but pretty different from each other, which speaks to Sheryl's talent. In short, she can appeal in numerous different ways, whether it is her and the band's playing, her vocals, or what she is signing about. The find on here, at least for me, is the slow burn that is I Shall Believe, a really great ballad that really accentuates Crow's voice. Never heard this track before, but instantly really liked in. Not everything on here is great, especially in the middle of the record where it wanes a bit. Solidify and The Na-Na Song were throw aways for me, personally. That said, this is quibbling with what is otherwise a really good record. Aside from the recognizable tracks and the aforementioned I Shall Believe, Run Baby Run, Can't Cry Anymore, and others were hits for me. Summed up, this is an excellent record from an excellent artist, one that proves to she can deliver in a variety of ways.

Omg look at her! I forgot how long her career was BEFORE soak up the sun! I only know All I Wanna Do (I was 4 when this came out so why do I remember it so vividly? 😂) This was great! Listening indoors at night feels wrong, I will be relistening on a beach drive 🌞 Irrelevantly: fuck I used to love doing Picture as a karaoke duet before Kid Rock devolved so horrifically

This album was a guilty pleasure for me among my roommates in college that year. I still have a soft spot for it, despite really disliking most of her music after this (I really can't stand "If It Makes You Happy" and the "Soak Up the Sun" song. To each his/her own, but those songs were played so much that I developed a hatred for them.) She sounds so young here.

Tuesday Night Music Club succeeds because it makes roots-rock feel lived-in rather than nostalgic. Crow and her collaborators build songs from familiar ingredients—country guitar, bluesy grooves, folk-rock storytelling, and pop melodies—but the best tracks have a distinctive emotional perspective.

Kjedelige greier

Better than Coldplay

Great album, although she’s subsequently produced better ones. Run Baby Run is fantastic.

Quite liked this, a couple of good tracks.

Sheryl Crow is a multi-talented singer-songwriter and musician. This record showcases her versatility with a range of styles and a bit towards storytelling rather than simply cliches about romantic love. Her monster hit, “All I Wanna Do,” is the ur-example of this: a gem of site-specific narrative (even if the casting of my hometown’s Santa Monica Blvd as the site of a derelict bar for day drinkers, always annoyed me as far-fetched.) The big problem is that I find S.C. bland as hell. No edge or teeth in the delivery. Even in her “sexy” song, she can’t make me feel it. “That lingerie made me feel…oh, I don’t know.” I know what I feel. Not much.

I thought it was okay, and kind of fun to remember these songs from the 90’s but I doubt I will listen to it again.

Secondnhalf of the album is better than the first. Still not my style; very generic, no interesting compositions and ok delivery.

The best tracks on this album are the ones that sound the least like country.

This was more nostalgic than I was expecting despite not really knowing any of these. I did randomly listen to the 95 Sheryl Crow album and think that’s wayyyy more my speed.

If this is Tuesday, I wonder what Friday is like

Well this transports me back to 1993, but with zero nostalgia, zero emotional response (pos or neg). Just a reminder of what was hot in the mid 90s. It was just ...there.

This is kind of a one hit wonder for me. But it launched quite a career and I'll always be indebted to the first album for giving way to the superior second album.

Boring. DNF

This was exactly what I expected from a Sheryl Crow debut album. Poppy, accessible, not too bland, nice voice and good vocals.

Highly enjoyable but unfortunately mostly forgettable

peak 90er, schon ok

Didn’t hate it but nothing really stood out to me

ну..посередня

p716. 1993. 3 stars. Starts off well and then slowly fades into middle of the road filler, a bit like Sheryl's career. There are some highlights for sure - "Run Baby Run" and "Strong" are standouts - but it's all a bit bland and forgettable.

Love you Sheryl

Decent from Sheryl but not much special about it

Enjoyed this record more than I thought I would. Yes, it's very “poppy” and accessible, but the vocals are superb and the songwriting isn't lacking at all - it's a great encapsulation of 90s pop rock without the blandness of some others that could be cut from the same cloth.

great singer - not bad but definitely not my favorite

Pas mal

Mediocre. In questo genere vince chi ha i musicisti più bravi. La mia preferita 'Solidify'.

There are some good songs here and some good performances, but it doesn't feel that substantial or something that I feel I'd ever want to go back to. The slower songs were the best and most surprising, having only heard the hits previously. There's a part of me that wants to give it 2 stars based on my personal feelings, but I feel it is a little unfair to give less than 3 stars, because I do think there is some great songwriting, even if it is often geared towards the radio pop rock genre.

My first thought upon hearing this is that she really can’t sing. My second thought is that this is very generic rock pop music. My third thought is why?

Went in dreading this one. Then the first track was really good, and I thought "maybe I've been wrong about Sheryl". But, sadly, the first track was the only good one. This album is not special at all.

The singles are great, classics. And the songwriting is overall very good

2.75 rounding to a three. Blandly pleasant. Nothing that makes me go wild but not really bad, either. Middle is a little slow but starts and ends well.

Sheryl Crow always reminds me of my mother-in-law... I'll let you fill in the blanks...

Música de gente blanca

This sounds like something you’d come up with in a college songwriting class. A little contrived but not all bad. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. After “…Fun” it went off the tracks.

Desperately bland and uninspiring. This is the safest album I have heard in a long time. Unworthy of a place on this list.

its soo alt… wanna do is chill..

One of the biggest surprises yet for me this project

Looking at some of the reviews on here and elsewhere, I expected this to be a pretty boring album. While, yes, it's not peak or even great, it's certainly more interesting than some people give it credit for. Not bad

The hits were great, "Strong Enough" is still one of the greatest songs ever written. but the rest was a bit underwhelming. Liked it, didn't love it, but it gets an extra star for the strength of the hits.

at the Tuesday night music club, wishing it was a different night or a different club

There’s something deep within this that I like. Probably because of my age and how I liked some cheugy singer songwriters of my own time. But what the hell was going on in the 90s. What the hell were they doing with drums in the 90s

Not bad Sheryl. Idk how often I'd go back to this, but I enjoyed the journey. All I Wanna Do is the standout

Sheryl Crow Fucks

Totally unremarkable album. Favorite Song: All I Wanna Do

This is the artist the Rolling Stones invited to tour with them on their private plane??

Some good songs but overall inessential

Great. A little long on some songs. 3.5

Mrs. Crow får mycket skit, ibland befogad. Men att hon skulle vara nån universiell hackkyckling tycker jag är lite orättvist. Hon är sällan provocerande dålig, även om det förekommer ("Solidify"). Det är mest harmlös vit 90talsradiopop, väldigt typisk L.A. Det verkar som det var alldeles för lätt att få skivkontrakt i L A. sent 80tal, tidigt 90tal. Med risk för att låta sexistisk (inte menat så), är hon bättre ju kvinnligare hon låter och mindre Steve Earle light. Svag tvåa

Jag känner bara till namnet och har ingen relation till hennes musik. Men det är ungefär den 90’s romcom-rock som jag förväntade mig. Snäppet bättre än genresystern Alanis Morissette. En stark etta.

Jag har svårt för den här typen av P4-kompatibel amerikansk midwestrock. Inledande Run baby run är överraskande trevlig. Tyvärr utgör den snarare undantag än regel. Låtarna inrymmer inslag av både funk och soul, men svänger noll. Solidify är ett riktigt lågvattenmärke. Till Na-na-song är en Nej-nej-sång.

Om jag har på albumet i bakgrunden med jag sysselsätter mig med annat kan det misstas för ordinär P4-rock. Men under koncentrerad lyssning hör jag ett maraton i plattityder och klichéer, såväl textmässigt de som musikaliskt. Dessutom låter det stendött. Någon har ägnat alldeles för mycket tid åt flytta mikrofoner och spela in varje instrument för sig.

Boo.

This album is like a '90s time capsule I never knew I needed. Just plain fun. Good tunes and good times. Spins: 3 Playlist Additions - Run Baby Run - Leaving Las Vegas - Strong Enough - All I Wanna Do - I Shall Believe

Snoozefest 😴

Beetje zeik muziek

Juust really pleasant. Is it good? I'm not really here for that. Did I enjoy it? Hell yeah.

Ain't no Shania, but she'll do 🤠

Several things: 1. The album cover looks exactly like an ad for pants. Frankly, more than any ad for pants has ever looked. Look at it! Admit it, you want to buy some pants. 2. You (yes, you reading this!) can hire Sheryl Crow to come over and sing for you. Look on the internet: You can do this right now! She's ready to sing! Just for you! Right now! For $300,000. 3. I have many feelings about this album - it would honestly be easier if it had just sucked. To be clear: It does suck, it just doesn't JUST suck, so here we go ... 4. My almost certainly wrong and in any case completely unprovable theory about this album: In the 80's, Sheryl Crow was just a blue collar workin' gal in the show biz industry - a backup singer, small contributor to many well-regarded and a few famous albums. Met many insiders - did some good ol' fashioned networkin'. Along the way, she came up with - and I'm being precise here - good ideas for exactly 1.3 songs. Those songs became Leaving Las Vegas and the first verse of All I Wanna Do. She played or sang those for her buddy insiders who were (understandably) enthusiastic. "What else you got?" they asked her. Nuthin, just nuthin. 5. Thus was born the "Tuesday Night Music Club". The Tuesday Night Music Club was Sheryl and her buddies and their music company dudes and dudettes all gettin' together and doin' some good ol' fashioned jammin', just kickin' around some thoughtful, folksy lyrics, wearin' their denim jackets, denim jeans, denim underpants, carryin' around their acoustic guitars and acoustic socks. 6. Or, to be more precise, meeting in office building conference rooms with the record company Senior Vice President of Marketing and his/her marketing team, because the end product of it was this album of diluted, watery gruel: The best example of art-by-committee, everyone-gets-a-say, there-is-absolutely-no-heart-in-anything-on-here-whatsoever that I think I've ever heard. This album is ahead of its time, and I do not mean that in a good way. Everything except the 1.3 songs Sheryl contributed which are - sadly- quite good. 7. Part of my proof for this, by the way, is that there were apparently intense, nasty fights over who would get "credit" (very sarcastic quotes) for this thing after it somehow succeeded. That was entirely legit! Everyone who touched this thing is in here somewhere - at minimum, a smear of snot in the nasty sticky clumpy mass of boogers that is this album. 8. I listened to this walking around my neighborhood at 10:00 a.m. on a beautiful early September Sunday morning; first day of the NFL season. I was in a great mood. First few songs ... not bad, I remember Leaving Las Vegas and Can't Cry Anymore well, this is likely getting a 3 or 4. Then, Solidify. Well, that sucked but they can't all be winners. Then ... 9. The Na-Na Song. Holy shit. I'm 250 albums into this, and this is unquestionably the worst single song generated on here ... quite possibly the worst song I've ever heard. We Didn't Start the Fire, but somehow (how? how is this possible?) even worse. My theory: This was the last song contributed to the album, and was the idea of one of the company executives' significant other who just looooooves that nice Billy Joel. Everyone was exhausted and just vomited out this utter piece of garbage in about 90 seconds ("Someone come up with a name!" "G. Gordon Liddy!" "Gold!"). Fuck this fucking song - it makes me angry that it exists. 10. From there, every bit of grace I was inclined to give this album is gone. I was thinking worst case I might do a "Sheryl Crow is the Stone Temple Pilots to Liz Phair and Alanis Morisette's Nirvana" but that would be an insult, really, a huge slap in the face ... to the Stone Temple Pilots. 11. Then, I start thinking: What, exactly, is going on in some of these songs? For example, Strong Enough. Offhand, a harmless if unoriginal bit of longing, but, wait ... half the lyrics are "I'm empowered, and no matter what, you have to accept me for who I am", which is fine ... but then the other half ... "lie to me, I promise, I'll believe, lie to me, but please don't leave" ... the exact opposite. What is this song about? Pick a lane guys. Same with All I Wanna Do - first verse, Sheryl and some dude utterly down on their luck, day-drinking, wallowing in self pity ... cool, I like a good loser song and this one is catchy. But the next verse is all about a couple who comes into the bar and Sheryl and her buddy are nowhere to be found. Is this a loser song or Penny Lane-esque slice of life? This is part of what I mean when I say this album is pretty clearly the product of committee/marketing/test-group-think. Crazy annoying. So there's my rambling, incoherent screed. Again, if you can scrounge around in your couch cushions for a spare $300,000 or so you can call Sheryl up and she can play her heart out and prove me wrong. In the meantime, my dedicated team of executives and marketing personnel have thoughtfully and lovingly hand-crafted this bespoke 2 for you. That will be $300,000, please.

Just an average women singer with a few good tracks. Not quite sure I needed to listen to this before my demise

Fine album. Was a refreshing change to the indie wave at the time and helped popularize the woman folk rock era of the 90s. Solid. Competent. Nice listen.

Tuesday Night Music Club Sheryl Crow 1993 Genres: Pop, Rock Styles: Singer Songwriter, Country Rock, Pop Rock 1. Run Baby Run (★★★★★) -Contexto: Crow contó que la escribió la noche en que se conocieron los resultados de las elecciones de 1992 (triunfo de Clinton sobre Bush), pensando en el paso generacional de los 60/70 a los 90. La letra sigue a una mujer nacida el mismo día en que murió Aldous Huxley (curiosamente también el día del asesinato de JFK), hija de una madre hippie y un padre activista de derechos civiles, que aprendió de chica a "correr": a huir de lo familiar hacia el consuelo de los extraños antes de que la abandonen. Es un retrato de alguien atrapado entre dos generaciones y educado en la fuga como mecanismo de supervivencia. 2. Leaving Las Vegas (★★★⯨☆) -Contexto: el título está tomado de la novela semiautobiográfica homónima de John O'Brien, amigo cercano de David Baerwald (uno de los coautores). La letra usa la imaginería de Las Vegas (casino, luces, un trabajo como bailarina) como metáfora de tocar fondo y decidir irse "para siempre". Se volvió polémica porque, tras tocarla en el programa de Letterman, a Crow le preguntaron si era autobiográfica y contestó "más o menos", algo que enfureció a Baerwald y al resto del "club" porque la canción era, en los hechos, mayormente de ellos. 3. Strong Enough (★★★☆☆) -Contexto: balada folk-pop que cuestiona si una pareja tiene la fortaleza para amar a alguien con defectos y días negros ("¿sos lo bastante fuerte para ser mi hombre?"). Habla de la vulnerabilidad de pedirle a otro que aguante los momentos en que una no puede ni mostrar la cara, y del miedo a que se vaya justo cuando más se lo necesita. 4. Can't Cry Anymore (★★★☆☆) -Contexto: canción de ruptura y hartazgo acumulado. La protagonista se va manejando (toma el auto de su ex y arranca a Texas) tras una relación desgastada, mientras enumera una serie de golpes de mala suerte (problemas de plata, impuestos, un hermano con adicción a la heroína) y repite que ya no le quedan lágrimas: es más resignación y cansancio que tristeza aguda. 5. Solidify (★★★☆☆) -Contexto: sobre la presión de "solidificarse", de volverse algo definido y estable para que la otra persona pueda verla y entenderla, cuando ella siente que su naturaleza es más fluida ("¿por qué tendría que solidificarme?"). Es una defensa de no encajar en el molde que la pareja imaginó para ella. 6. The Na-Na Song (★★★☆☆) -Contexto: un collage satírico y caótico de referencias a la cultura pop y política de EE.UU. de principios de los 90 (talk shows, publicidad, figuras como Michael Jackson, Madonna, G. Gordon Liddy, Clarence Thomas, la guerra del Golfo, el consumismo), cantado casi como un rap desprolijo. Es la canción más irónica y menos "seria" del disco; varias reseñas la señalan como el punto más débil del álbum. 7. No One Said It Would Be Easy (★★⯨☆☆) -Contexto: retrata una relación con fricciones cotidianas (una familia que no termina de aceptar al otro, pequeñas peleas domésticas) pero que decide sostenerse igual. Crow explicó en una charla que la canción habla de que lo valioso no es necesariamente el resultado de una relación difícil, sino lo que se aprende en el camino de sostenerla. 8. What I Can Do for You (★★⯨☆☆) -Contexto: coescrita con David Baerwald, es la más provocadora del disco: adopta la voz de un personaje seductor/manipulador que promete a alguien que "nadie más en la tierra puede hacer lo que yo puedo hacer por vos", jugando con el doble sentido sexual y con una dinámica de control ("si hacés lo que digo, no me vas a hacer repetirlo"). Es una canción-personaje, no una confesión directa de Crow. 9. All I Wanna Do (★★★★★) -Contexto: nace del poema "Fun" de Wyn Cooper y fue adaptada por Crow, Baerwald, Bottrell y Gilbert. Es una postal de escapismo diurno: tomar cerveza a la mañana en un bar de Los Ángeles mientras se mira pasar la vida y el tráfico desde la ventana, disfrutando de la nada sin culpa. El tono es despreocupado y observacional, casi una fotografía de un momento ocioso más que una historia con conflicto. -Fav 10. We Do What We Can (★★⯨☆☆) -Contexto: narrada desde la habitación de arriba de una casa donde abajo un vecino llamado Leo toca trombón (referencias a Stan Kenton, música de jazz). Es una reflexión sobre el paso del tiempo, el envejecimiento del propio gusto musical y la mortalidad: la letra da vuelta hacia "todo cambió desde que Leo murió", usando la muerte de ese vecino músico como disparador para pensar el fin de una época. 11. I Shall Believe (★★★☆☆) -Contexto: cierre del disco, una balada sobre aferrarse a la fe en una relación aun sabiendo que puede estar rota o ser mentira ("aunque sea una mentira, decime que va a estar bien"). Retoma el tema de "no me abandones" que ya aparecía en "Strong Enough", pero desde un lugar más vulnerable y suplicante, con una producción contenida. -TOTAL = ★★★⯨☆ (3,27)

Background rock music with 90s flavor that's as bland and innocent as possible, perfect for playing in a supermarket or a gas station. I don't know what this album does in this list, but I'm glad I learned why my association with the name Sheryl Crow wasn't very positive.

Would I buy this Sheryl Crow album? No. Would I recognize a Sheryl Crow song on the radio? Maybe. Would I be happy to hear Sheryl Crow on the radio? I couldn't care less. All I can say is the songs, the song material, the lyrics—it's so American, absolutely not my thing. Country rock crossover, who knows what. As for all this singer-songwriter nonsense, if significantly more people are involved in a song, that's something I don't know, but for me, this woman isn't a singer-songwriter.

solid

Biss himym background musik mit mehr soul als ein white girl haben sollte

I first heard Sheryl Crow when I was about 14 via late night music video for "All I Wanna Do" and since then she's been a dependable comfort in the corner of my music world. I've seen her live at a festival and she looks and sounds incredible. After almost 30 years the album has aged beautifully and with 4 bangers that I still know the words to it was a great trip down memory lane.

There were moments where I thought it was finally going to get interesting, but it quickly went back to simple country rock.
