It was nice!
Love this album, but likely because it brings back memories.
🎵All I wanna do🎵 🎵is skip this album🎵
Loved it more than I expected
6/10 – Decent
I was a bit freaked out by this because why did I actually… like it??? I was expecting this, based on my knowledge of Sheryl Crow’s music prior to this (which consisted pretty much solely of the odd appearance on TOTP in the mid-90s), to be 90s MOR radio-oriented pop, in other words not my thing. (I am coming to the realisation reading this over that this might be a product of my internalised misogyny with a sprinkle of the ol’ taste brainwashing from the parents/dad.) While I don’t know whether I’ll be listening to this beyond this setting it definitely was not that- as another user said the influences on here are surprisingly diverse! at times it’s quite post-punk-y and even gets funky on ‘Solidify’!! Some quite interesting and unexpected instrumentation choices scattered across this too, I thought ‘Solidify’ and ‘We Do What We Can’ had several of these particularly re: percussion. The production starts off fairly typical of blown-out 90s radio pop on the first track as I was expecting but it definitely dials down as it continues. I hate to be that person to compare a woman to a man (I’m a woman myself I promise) BUT at times it did genuinely seem as though Crow was trying to do an early Bob Dylan impression in terms of her phrasing and the continuity and vague referentiality of her lyrics. This was particularly obvious on ‘Na Song’ which I actually liked but it seemed to draw not very subtly from ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’. Yet even these didn’t bother me much as they probably would’ve done had I not been so taken by the shock of the realisation that I was actually enjoying a Sheryl Crow album 😃 Hell, from the barrage of seemingly disparate, vague political-historical references crowded alongside each other on certain tracks which rarely seem to serve any higher purpose (see the aforementioned ‘Na Song’, also ‘We Do What We Can’ unfortunately), I suspect there was a certain amount of throwing in said references to appear cool/politically conscious/Dylanesque/for the sake of it in the writing process - Sheryl, you are very lucky my expectations were so low and my auditory processing skills so poor to begin with that I found it nearly impossible to actively listen to your lyrics on the first few listens!! However I think there is something to be said for the melodies here too - oftentimes they were strong and interesting enough to distract me from any potentially lazy lyricism :) While had I listened to this not knowing it was on this list I might have given it a 4/5, I am settling on a 3 (albeit a high one) instead as I do not think, especially given all of the historically really important artists that are not represented at all on here, that this necessarily deserves a place on the list of ‘Albums You Must Listen to Before You Die’. I think the only basis on which I could justify its inclusion to myself is as a relic of its era, but even then it wasn’t AFAIK as though Sheryl Crow or her music were landmark cultural icons of the 90s. Oh also this album OPENS - yes, the very first words of the first track - with the lines: “She was born in November 1963 The day Aldous Huxley died” which might be the funniest literature-adjacent reference I’ve ever heard in any song holy shit
Ihan menevää musiikkia. Väsyneenä tästä ei kauheasti jäänyt mieleen.
Like a sad bad version of a good liz pair record. Not for me.
I thought Sheryl was good. Dang this is mid.
Man, she can really blend the accessible pop with the Tom Petty-like rock.
Was fine 3 star
I’ve always heard bits and pieces of songs from Sheryl Crow, but never got around to listening to her. Seeing the cover and after listening to the album, it feels like the 2010’s. Not in a particularly bad way, but still…not my favorite music to listen to. There are definitely some standout tracks, like Strong Enough and Run, Baby, Run. Still, as the album progresses and shifts between tracks, it leans more into the 90’s soft rock by the end. Still, her voice can bring an issue. She, in a way, reminds me of Alanis Morissette, with the quality and technique in their voices. Still, she seems to shout at times while she’s singing, which isn’t really my style. But, though I do like some songs, this album wasn’t for me, but I certainly see the appeal! For me, it also became a bit repetitive with the familiar guitar on every track. Not bad, but eh.
decent album
Favorite songs: Run Baby Run, Leaving Las Vegas, Strong Enough, All I Wanna Do 3.5
This is really really good Run,Baby,Run is my favourite, that chorus is superb Leaving Las Vegas is great The Run of ballads at the end are great. The little touches of disco hidden in there are great.
Nice pop folk rock. Some catchy tunes, like I’ll I Want. But overall, I’d say it’s an average record.
Dated
I was hopeful. I never minded "All I Want to Do", but had never listened to the rest of this album. It's not good.
the debut album of miss sheryl crow. inspired by acoustic pop rock and a huge majority of the tracks are recorded at little jam sessions... perhaps on a tuesday? the genre that a lot of websites give me are the vaguest you can get, after listening to this album, i'm gonna call this "mom rock". soft rock for 30-50 year old mothers who drink coffee and shop at kohl's. it's peppy. it's pretty groovy. if there's one random thing i can say about her singing, she sounds kinda like tommy pickles when she belts.
Great pop folk album no skips
No.
I mean... why is this here? There's nothing that really stands out. It feels very much like a product of its time. There's nothing offensively bad or anything, but also nothing worth noting. It's ok, but it's pretty pointless. I mostly feel disappointed.
Definitely Sheryl Crow
Moderately nostalgic, which made this better than I would have thought. Probably won't listen to it again.
this was one of my mom's fav albums that she'd constantly play throughout my childhood, so I'm very familiar with this album. never thought i'd be rating it, but i think it'll be easy. i'll do my best to not let nostalgia cloud my judgement Run, Baby, Run - 4/5 Leaving Las Vegas - 4/5 Strong Enough - 5/5 Can't Cry Anymore - 4/5 Solidify - 3/5 The Na-Na Song - 3/5 No One Said It Would Be Easy - 3/5 What I Can Do for You - 3/5 All I Wanna Do - 5/5 We Do What We Can - 3/5 I Shall Believe - 5/5 Average score: 3.8/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this debut album, while still enjoyable to me, is a little strange to listen to now with more matured ears. it sounded like she was trying out everything and anything here, and not everything hit as well as i hoped. it's a country-rock album, but some tracks veer off the path quite a bit i don't doubt this was the shit back in the 90s though, and i can understand why it was appealing then as opposed to now. it just seems she didn't quite find her signature sound til maybe her 2nd album that being said, if i were giving a score with consideration to the sentimental memories attached to this album, i'm sure the score would be a little higher than it is. i liked most of this album growing up, i still enjoy it some now as an adult, and i will certainly come back to it when i want to reminisce on simpler times
Boring, all i wanna do is ok, but say car wash one more time I dare you also: wasn't watching spotify and then a songe came where I thought "hey that one is cool i know that", but i'm afaid that was the first song after this album was through
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Hits are very good, rest is okay
Album #34, Sheryl Crow, Tuesday Night Music Club ⭐⭐ A 90s album with some of the worst 90s pop tropes. This actually starts off very strong. Sheryl has a good voice, her lyrics didn’t initially offend, and it’s a kind of heartland rock, Americana pop style that I was enjoying. The first four tracks really set the album up as a solid alt-country experience. She’s no Lucinda Williams, but it felt like it was heading in a direction I liked. Then Solidify comes on and it all deteriorates very quickly. Once the beats get bigger, the quality drops. Run, Baby, Run is a no, no, no. Sheryl is rapping on this and it just feels desperate. We have a slight return to her roots on No One Said It Would Be Easy, but the chorus is so unbelievably clichéd that it completely distracts from the emotional weight of the song. I’ll give her some props for What I Can Do for You. It’s a brave song, and the sleaziness of the character she’s playing genuinely makes me uncomfortable, so that one works. All I Wanna Do is okay. We’ve all heard it a million times, so I’m already jaded by it. My gym plays it constantly. I can understand why it was a hit, but it’s one of my least favourite forms of 90s pop, that white-rapping-trying-to-be-cool style. And then We Do What We Can, a foray into lounge jazz. At this point I just didn’t care for it. It feels like she’s throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. There’s a slight return to form for I Shall Believe, but by then all my goodwill is gone. Not for me, this one
If she had been 10-15 years younger when this album dropped, she would have been in the Brittany/Christina pop club. This album is now a grocery store staple. Is mom pop rock a thing? Influence 3. Hits 4. Quality 3. Intangibles 4. Super meh 2.
Franchement bonne surprise. Honnêtement, ce sera pas l'album de l'année pour moi, premièrement parce que c'est pas vraiment mon style, et puisque l'album, même si il est bon, n'est pas parfait. Néanmoins, j'aimerais quand même saluer la performance. Tout d'abord, je trouve qu'en tant que 1er album, le son est vraiment très travaillé, et fait vraiment moderne pour son époque, avec des sonorités pop très bien gérées pour 1993 et une technique vocale vraiment assez remarquable avec des refrains marquants, et une voix extrêmement expressive. Néanmoins, je trouve que l'album peine quand même à se renouveller, tant au niveau des sujets qu'au niveau des sonorités. Néanmoins, il reste vraiment bien et une bonne surprise, je lui mets un 4
it's alright?
Pretty amazing debut, I find it surprising that Run Baby Run wasn’t a hit - I think that’s my favorite song on the album.
it’s the 90’s. Your mom’s chain smoking cigs in her trailblazer. She just served your dad papers. You’re in the KFC drive thru ordering a 5 dollar bucket. Mom is singing this with the windows down and has never looked happier. Brothers in here saying this is the female Tom Petty. I don’t see it. This is just divorced mom rock. This is one of those albums that FEELS like it’s time. This is so 90’s coded. I kinda mess with it actually. Fav tracks: Na Na Song, Solidify
Nothing like listening to an album where you've heard the songs in Kia commercials. There is a lot here. I hear some Dave Matthews on the beats, I hear some Stevie Wonder on "What I can do for you". I really like this, it is country and rock mixed, but she sings so well, and I think a lot of the songs will be in the rotation. I just think it is too long. Like we do what we can sets a great scene with its premise, but it feels a bit weak on the come-up. The ending track is a slog that doesn't really work for me the guitar just feels off, but I really like this it is a 6 for its slight theme of different genre bending
Alright country, but nothing stand out for me
Kon niet zeggen dat ik hier naar uitkeek, maar de conclusie is verrassend. Ik was op zoek naar meer dan de cheesy pop-rock hits als 'All I Wanna Do', en kreeg dat ook. Onverwachts veel smaken op dit album, met soms meer country, soms meer jazzy, van Tom Petty naar Fiona Apple. Maar waarom de conclusie zo verrassend is, is dat ik uiteindelijk wel doorhad dat ze het best tot haar recht komt als ze haar inner Tom Petty channelled, met haar gevoel voor melodie. In ieder geval op dit album. Ik was dus uiteindelijk teleurgesteld dat er niet meer 'All I Wanna Do' op de plaat stond. Het was een verwarrende luisterbeurt, maar echt geen hele verkeerde. 6,5/10 Highlights: Run, Baby, Run All I Wanna Do
Na 3x All I Wanna Do ben ik er nog steeds niet uit. Is dit nou een lekkere catchy nineties pleasure of toch een foute afgezaagde poprock plaat? Die twee smaken liggen soms dicht bij elkaar en Sheryl Crow heeft een nummer gemaakt dat precies op die grens balanceert. Ik kom er niet uit. De rest van het album is rootsrock maar gaat zo nu en dan wat heen en weer tussen verschillende genres. Dat zorgt dan wel voor een interessante luistersessie. Alles bij elkaar kon ik het dus niet al te goed plaatsen. Ik heb geen enkel nummer opgeslagen en ook All I Wanna Do is in geen enkel lijstje terecht gekomen, ondanks de hitstatus. Ik kom tot de conclusie dat het me teveel aan Stealers Wheel (Stuck in the middle) en the Steve Miller Band (the Joker) doet denken. Rootsrock... 6/10 Highlights We Do What We Can
Mot bad but not great either. Wouldn't listen to this again.
nice to listen to a woman for a change not really my type of beat, but she sounds great tho
Don't vape guys
Not too shabby. Never heard of her. I liked Run Baby Run and Solidify.
If I could give half stars, id give this 3.5. Very enjoyable, just too many songs that lasted too long that I didn’t care about
I always feel bad disparaging these albums but this just wasn't for me :(
Just average pop rock. 5.9/10
Dull dull dull
****a good, easy listening album
Maybe the perfect Sunday afternoon album, for album made in the early 90's it still predicted the soul of the most wholesome end of the noughties. The record is never in a rush, each track landing a groove and locking in in a way that says, now you're here, enjoy it, we're not in a rush to get anywhere. It's got range too, tunes that wouldn't be out of place in a sunlight morning movie montage conveying clearly that the protagonist has their vibes aligned and their life together. Tracks which deliver seductive, laid back, determined - it's got the lot and it works. Is it obvious I like this album yet? One listen in and I would highly recommend reaching for this the next time you're having a weekend coffee in the flat, putting out flowers, going for a stroll, or having dinner, alone or with friends. You're in good hands with Sheryl Crow's Tuesday Night Music Club.
I can't really place this type of music.
Pop rock of the mid 90's variety rarely got better than this!
I get that it's culturally important, but it's not really my type of music. It was fine and good enough though.
Much, much better than I expected.
Shite
It’s a Tuesday so the stars are aligning.
Another solid 90s album. Even the bland mainstream music was top quality.
it was eh
Pretty good
Surprised to see this on the list. Quite like some of Sheryl Crow’s music, but this debut is too one dimensional for me to listen to. This hits are good, but as an album it drags on a bit. Follow up is much better for me. 2.5 rounded up to a 3
Jest w tym coś domowego i uspokajającego choć na pierwszy rzut oka, nie wiadomo gdzie
Love this album!
I really liked Sheryl Crow's voice on this album. Nice fun listen while doing some chores around the house. 3/5 stars.
Crow is as 90s as it gets. While to most she is considered the pioneer of Alt-folk and popularizing “americana” again. But to me, as a Canadian, I can’t unhear the Blue Rodeo in her. All of these are good things. Tuesday Night Music isn’t no skips, but it’s better than you remember. 8.3/10
don't get me wrong, it was good! just not entirely my cup of tea. I did learn, however, that Sheryl Crow has a song in the Cars soundtrack. Neat!
fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! nothing else really to say i had a fun good time thank you sheryl crow
A real eye opener. Brilliant singer/songwriter, music sounds fresh and vibrant even after 30+ years from the original release date.
Had niet verwacht dat dit leuk zou zijn
First track and All I Want To Do are great, the rest didn't quite live up to it
Nice. And it's a woman....
Yep. It's a Sheryl Crow album. Joyful early 90's.
Several classics, but didn't like the other songs as much. Can't believe this is over 30 years old...
Eh I kind of didn't prefer these vocals, and the lyrics were not interesting enough to make up for the relatively bland instrumentals. Yes, this is a well-produced album, but it ain't my thing. 2/5
Listening to all of it shows my commitment to this. What a slog.
Overall, it’s a decent album. There were some parts I didn’t really enjoy, but on the flip side, I think a lot of that comes from being burned out on 90s female adult contemporary music, mostly because it was completely shoved down our throats at the time. If I separate that bias, this is actually a pretty laid back album and a nice one to put on at the start of the day.
After a week or two of obscure albums, it was nice to get this. Loved this album as a kid, but appreciate it more as an adult for the range.
This was great! I need to listen to more Sheryl Crowe
It's a pop record with some tinges of other things. For the most part, the songs are rather disposable. They are well-produced and I understand why they were hits. I just don't like them very much.
Run, Baby, Run // All I Wanna Do // 2.5/5
En jaksanut kuunnella loppuun. 1,75/5.
Why would you include the debut album of someone who is almost exclusively known for the handful of extremely catchy radio hits from her second album? All I wanna do is the only one on here that made a mark. It's perfect fine pop rock with a tinge country twang and high spec 90s production, but none of the songs rise above pleasant background padding.
Boring
Ok at best.
Made fun of my husband for years for looking Sheryl Crow. After listening to this album, I get it now
I knew the singles very well, much better than the rest of the album. I can see why it was a hit!
This album's songs were all over "adult alternative" radio in the early 90's, and I experienced Crow fatigue. But now, listening through the whole thing, I realize it's a very solid album. A lot of credit has to go to the group of singer-songwriters and backing players-'the Tuesday Night Music club of the title--who encouraged and worked with her. Kevin Gilbert, David Baerwald, David Ricketts (who, together, as David and David had a great album of their own) and others were hugely important to this album. I don't think Sheryl Crow was ever again as good as on this one.
I think people can be unfair to Sheryl Crow sometimes, labelling her stuff as supermarket muzak. Shes a talented songwriter, at her best I hear a lot of Lucinda Williams. This record showcases a lot of range and kept me engaged the whole time. 3.5 rounded up
Was a fun listen. More up my alley than anticipated
Overall: 6/10 Sheryl is a great singles artist. I actually love more of her songs than I thought I did, and there's a few on this one that I didn't even realize were her songs. The non singles don't hit as hard for me, but there wasn't really anything on here that I would call bad. It's a fun pop rock album that you can have fun with if you don't take it too seriously. Fav Song: All I Wanna Do
I thought I would really hate this, but listening to it while walking around the park made me feel alive + human. Enjoyed the album until the final 2-3 songs, maybe a touch same-y overall. But I like Sheryl's voice! Run Baby Run, Leaving g Las Vegas and Solidify were my faves
I kind of enjoyed it, she's not an awful singer, most of the songs weren't very memorable. Wouldn't be likely to listen again
Nice voice, a little too poppy, but overall not bad
Very generic, I feel as if clubs would be better of playing EDM music on a Tuesday night, slightly larger audience yknow. All I wanna do is the only one I would ever consider listenting to again willingly.
Highly inconsequential. Just incredibly mediocre, this was boring background music
Wander around Lidl for a few hours and you'll hear 100 songs that sound exactly like this
Det er et ret legesyg album som kommer godt omkring. Det var en lille 4er inden "All i wanna do" , og efter var det en klar 4er. Jeg prøver om der kan puttes børn med albummet en anden dag, men min vurdering nu er ja.
Amerikansk pop-rock fra midterste hylde. Der er nogle få sange der står ud, men hold nu op hvor er de også start 90er agtige.
I don't listenuch to country, but this album was a nice experience
Basic
Prvi put da sam ovo poslušao od početka do kraja mislim. Meni je ovo dosta prosječno.
Ca a dépassé mes attentes inexistantes.
a bomb album!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Låtlistan varvas med lättuggade stora radiohits (som jag gillar) och spår som är lite mer anonyma. I slutändan så är det ett ganska "behagligt" album. Inga riktiga bottennapp till spår och och konsekvent, nedtonad produktion. När jag gick in i detta albumet hade jag inte så höga förhoppningar, är faktiskt förvånad att jag gillar det så mycket jag gör.
2 and a half. Some decent tunes
Comfortable, melodic and sneakily solid (3.5)
I wanted to like it but I didn't so I'm sorry crowgirl
It's aight, not exactly life changing.
A mainstay on 90s pop radio, lots of catchy songs here that have a little more depth and feeling behind them than other lesser pop albums.
6.5/10 I was pretty much unaware of the artist besides knowing her name, so I didn’t have any expectations going in and there was definitely some solid songs on here but towards the second half of the album it gets a bit boring and a handful of songs here drag on a bit too long or repeat the chorus one too many times. Favorite song: solidify Least favorite: I shall believe
Favorite Track: Run, Baby, Run
Pop rock that is a lot more pop than rock. The lyrics and vocals are very generic. The instrumentation isn’t bad, but it’s repetitive and doesn’t stand out much. It’s a fine album but literally didn’t make me feel anything.
Nice but not overachieving voice. Nice and laid back, but not mind-blowing. 3* Highlights: strong enough
oh weh, naja immerhin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK9eLe8EQps the first cut is deepest cover gefunden..c
I've always avoided Sheryl Crow, I guess because I lumped her in with the pop country scene in the early 2000s, which it turns out wasn't really a fair assessment. In fact, even though I think there's an Americana slant here, there's not a whole lot of capital C "Country" on Tuesday Night Music club. I'll just unhelpfully, but not dishonestly, call this "pop" for now, even though there is certainly more going on. Although, enough with labels, the most important thing here is that the songs on this album are really enjoyable and well-written. And I enjoyed her lyrics a lot too: I think she writes about hope and determination in a way that a lot of songwriters struggle to. Sheryl Crow doesn't come across as cloying or saccharine at all, and she has some real lyrical meat on these songs too, with very little "fluff". Although, I will say, the aesthetic here doesn't always hit for me. There are some songs here that do get a *little* too close to the modern country sound that I just can't really do. But, on the other end of things, the full arrangements here do give these songs the capacity to have some really cool flourishes. For example, anytime the bass playing asserts itself, the way it fits into the mix results in some really cool moments. But, as I mentioned earlier, the real key to this album's success is that these songs all have a really solid core. And I think the best song here is We Do What We Can. It has a really cool, uniquely moody tone that I didn't expect the album to bring so late in the runtime. It is also a deceptively sparse mix, the first half is mostly super cool bass playing, piano, some guitar and trombone flourishes, and a noir-ish drum machine. But at about the halfway mark of this song, the tempo suddenly hits double-time, trades the drum machine for a live kit, and expands the sound of the arrangement greatly. When I first listened to this song, I was kind of floored by this sudden drop. This is the second to last song of the album, and nothing else on the album features anything like this, so the sudden realization that Sheryl Crow has the vision to pull off songwriting tricks like this was really cool. Ultimately, I liked this quite a bit. There are plenty of great pop songs, and some cool tricks. And even though I don't always like the production direction here, it's not actively in my way of enjoying this (most of the time). Stuff like this is one of the reasons I started doing this challenge. Every once in a while it's good to be forced into a world that you maybe unfairly dismissed.
very basic, some songs are boring or annoying, although i liked "run, baby, run", "we do what we can", "i shall believe", 2
Sadly, All I Wanna Dois really the only good song on this.
All I Wanna Do is obviously well-regarded for a reason, but just about the entire rest of this album is split between slow ballad-y stuff I actively dislike, and Momcore Chunes For Your Workday Commute that if I heard them at a restaurant or bar I would never even clock that music was playing
Sheryl Crow is in her 60s now and that is upsetting. Anyhow it is sort of generic jangle guitar in the first half, and then gets more interesting in the second half, and is very pleasant even if I never got really excited.
It was fine
This isn't awful but I feel like an album like this is why people wanted Napster so they could just get singles without having to pay C$20
Not a challenging thing about this album. It was inoffensive, easy listening rock for the soft tune radio fans. It wasn’t a grating or terrible listen but I don’t really understand why it was on this list. Dull.
I kind of think of this album as background music for like a coffee shop in a book store so the first time I put it on I absorbed maybe 15% of it at best. Trying to listen more intently now... Run, Baby, Run is ok. Leaving Las Vegas sucks, and Strong Enough sucks and has a toxic message. Everyone has heard "All I wanna do" to the point that I don't even know if it qualifies as music. Ok, got it, this album was created by scientists to make people more likely to complete their Abercrombie & Fitch purchases. I decided this is where I am going to put my first 1. For a moment I paused and thought “is this internalized misogyny? The first female artist our group has reviewed gets a 1? Is it actively actually all that bad when compared with other comparable female artists of this era?” But then after this album finished the algorithm put on a track from Alanis Morissette. I think I’d give Jagged Little Pill a 3-4 minimum, maybe even a 5. Tuesday Night Music Club gets a 1 because it isn’t essential listening. You can die without having listened to it.
decent. but not decent enough. 3.5/5
Run, Baby, Run- Wasn't a huge song for me, good chorus, but an eh for me Leaving Las Vegas- at times the voice makes me cringe, sounds forced, this songs pretty basic wouldn't come back to this Strong Enough- Like the finger picking acoustic intro, not a fan of her voice at this point 3 songs have passed now and nothing is memorable out of the bunch, I see all i wanna do is up next which i know and like but aside from that it's not been my favorite
I like Sheryl Crow, but this album is not my favorite. The sings felt very repetitive.
Never listened. Expectations: Low - Verdict: Not For Me - I expected to really dislike this. I think Sheryl Crow was a name that I had heard without really knowing much about her. Much better than expected with a couple songs I would absolutely listen to.
pretty bad..
Very bland
Pretty boring and a drag to get through.
It was alright, I did have some fun, but not too much fun
I didn’t expect much from this but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it. Nothing on here blew me away or anything but there were also no tracks that I didn’t enjoy either. Top Track - Can’t Cry Anymore
Meh.
industry crap
i can appreciate the role she played for women in 90’s music, but overall, not a very interesting album
A liberating and often heartfelt album. That is always nice to listen to but never great (other than all I wanna do and possibly run baby run and leaving last Vegas )
The famous song is good. The rest of the album not so much.
not a bad album but not sure how it made the list.
Singer- songwriting that can be described as perfectly fine. 6/10
It's not bad. It's fine? I'm a bit mystified by it being on this list, but I guess it makes sense when you factor in how you couldn't escape Crow's music in 1990's American zeitgeist. Give me the Japanese hardcore band Crow, though. That'd make me happy.
I was digging some of this, but most of it is just sort of... there. It's not annoying, or bad, but it just doesn't really have a lot to offer me.
Not bad. Very 90’s
Really good album.
hmmmmm, one iconic song from the album. honestly not my vibe but still a good album something about this album just didn't click for me, maybe it was the melodies but I wish it did because I wanted to like it
Yeah, two cool songs on this, the rest kinda mediocre. From all the easy listening female vocalist albums that have passed. Sheryl Crow warms my heart the least
Nice pop album, but nothing too crazy about it. I'd put it on if I wanted just some background music playing for easy listening. Standout tracks are - obviously - the hit All I Wanna Do, as well as the song Strong Enough. 7 / 10.
first listen good stuff
I didn’t mind this, but mildly admiring an artist’s efforts at asserting themselves musically doesn’t make it more enjoyable. Very average but nothing especially wrong with it, after a recent poor run I guess I’m chalking it up as a draw.
The click bait: ITS LIKE JEKYLL AND HYDE CAME TO SPANK ME!!! Here's what we have Typical Crow - "Run Baby Run", "Leaving Las Vagas", "All I Wanna Do" Then some low rent ones (extremely repetitive and deviate from what is already a middle of the road album) - "Solidify" a weird semi dance / pop track which was at odds with the rest of the album. Going off typical wasn't always bad and most are repetitive but I actually likes some of them like "No one said it would be easy" as an example as that had a bit of feeling and mood to it. I am not struggling to listen to this as such, but I do struggle to form an opinion as I just don't think it's that good as an average. There is the odd track that seems to suit me and there are times where the tempo drops in a cool way and there is an interesting piano interlude near the end for example. Otherwise, despite expecting better I have to say it struggled to maintain a notable mention for me. Started OK, dire middle and just when it got OK, it ended. Oh and then another bloody CD followed! It's like Jekyll and Hyde has come to spank me. I loved the first track of the next album. So, I went all in yet again. The very next track was sub average loop the loop pop. I cant in good concious slam this. This is a person that has great tallent as actually it was a very artistically diverse album. It was interesting at times and it made me go mental with this review so there is that. When she gets off the carosel there are lots of examples of lyrical strength.
My internal prejudice led me to expect this album to be awful. Actually, I was pleasantly surprised. The songs are generally well written and convincingly performed. Production quality is solid. There seems to be something very nineties about this type of singer/songwriter, soft-rock album. It's very radio-friendly and something you can imagine your mum jamming out to in the family car. Ultimately, there is something timelessly appealing about a nice singer singing some nice songs. Not ground-breaking but solid.
Its nice. I especially liked What I Can Do For You. Its boring but its good.
good start, bit downhill after that xx would listen to all i want to do again. actually spoke too soon, last two songs are so much better
A little mellow for my tastes but there's some good hooks here (and standout singles). Top tracks: "All I Wanna Do," "Leaving Las Vegas," "Run, Baby, Run"
Why is this album so long? It's good but damn.
--Run, Baby, Run...seems a little like-gulp-easy listening --Leaving Las Vegas...I feel like I'm shopping for turquoise jewelry in Flagstaff --Strong Enough... more easy listening but this is stronger (heh) songwriting than preceding tracks. surprise! it's only three minutes long. take note, singer-songwriters --Can't Cry Anymore...sure --Solidify...okay we're bringing the funk now. this is fun. I'm having fun --The Na-Na Song...this is weird. don't love it but I appreciate weird --No One Said It Would Be Easy...too long, Sheryl --What I Can Do For You...not bad but nothing special --All I Wanna Do...I do remember when this song first exploded. I thought it was a refreshing change of pace from the other radio hits I had heard to that point. To be fair, I was eight --We Do What We Can...more of a jazz lounge singer number. I like it. smooth and sexy. not too cheesy. maybe too long --I Shall Believe...I think I would rate this album higher if the fun weirdness of the middle tracks weren't bookended by uninspired and overlong adult contemporary
I mean I guess
If Rod Stewart was a woman he would be called Sheryl Crowe. Most of this album was forgettable except for the last two songs, those felt more sincere
Hot
Soooo many good tunes on this. 'Strong Enough', 'Leaving Las Vegas,' 'Can't Cry Anymore'...say less! This would be a 3.5 for me, but bumping to a 4 because this had such a mega impact on my contemporary female singer songwriter faves.
My girl forever but a couple duds
some nice moments but generally a little too mom-jeans for me; also the album title and cover art are fucking awful.
Not for me, felt quite boring, it sounds like something you'd hear in a grocery store. One interesting song : solidify. 2/5
We gave this a reluctant listen at 3:AM on January first. I just wasn't expecting to be wowed by Sheryl Crow, I couldn't name a song of hers, and after listening to this record I still can't. It was a bad idea to give this a listen on my phone's speakers, it strips too much away from the experience. A listen on some decent earbuds and at least it's not terrible. The overall production is pretty top notch honestly, smooth and well executed. It's pop rock, I think the appeal leans heavy on the songwriting and that aspect didn't click with me, either. 1.7/5
I really hate this style of music. Couldn’t do it. 1/5
++: Solidify, What I Can Do For You, All I Wanna Do, We Do What We Can +: Run Baby Run, Leaving Las Vegas, Can't Cry Anymore, The Na-Na Song, I Shall Believe +-: Strong Enough, No One Said It Would Be Easy 5,5/10
I just don't like a lot of 90s music, but this was better than most I guess.
I’m not sure if this is better or worse than The Black Album
Some good songs on here, it didn't elevate to a 4 though.
All I Wanna Do bumps up this otherwise unentertaining album by 1 whole star.
Ha! This was the last album I played yesterday after having caught up on my backlog of 1001 albums I had missed over the holidays. You may be able to guess where I'm rating it...
I've always liked Sheryl Crow. Fun fact: she created one of my favourite Bond themes in the often forgotten Tomorrow Never Dies. The movie deserves to be forgotten, not the song. It's no secret that I'm not a fan of country music, but this falls more into something you might call "Americana". There's a folky, bluesy feel to everything. I'm particularly fond of those sharp 7th notes that she throws into her music. Overall, I enjoyed everything I heard on this album. "Run, Baby, Run" hurts my head with vocals that seem to be running asynchronously to the melody (has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me??), but it's catchy as hell. There's a great run from the opening track through "Leaving Las Vegas", one of the most 90s sounding songs of the 90s, "Strong Enough", with its laid-back folky atmosphere, "Can't Cry Anymore", defying you to not get it stuck in your head, "Solidify" sneaking in a bit of funk, before the nutty "The Na-Na Song" channelling Subterranean Homesick Blues Dylan vocal stylings. The front-runner is obvious though. "All I Wanna Do" was everywhere when it first came out, and deservedly so. Perfect melody, instrumentation, and lyrics. Songs like this only come along every so often, and when they do they usually become victims of being overplayed to bajaysus. But for some reason, this is one of the few songs that doesn't end up getting on your nerves after the millionth listen. It also wins the prestigious award for being a song with prominent pedal steel guitar that somehow doesn't get on my nerves. For how enjoyable the music is here, I do still find myself questioning why it won so many Grammys, or why it's held in such high regard. These are really solid songs, very easy to listen to, consistently good, but nothing here feels particularly bold or innovative. I enjoyed listening to this, and I'd happily return to it. Not ground-breaking, but very easy to like.
Lower marks from me because the non-singles are barely listenable.
Didn’t realize, “All I Wanna Do” was almost entirely lifted from a poem. Still rating this as a 3 bc I like her voice and (other) lyrics. Generally, she kicks ass.
I didn't love many of the songs, but I liked almost all of them. Getting a 4 based on comprehensiveness. Songs: All I Wanna Do
nah
It's fine? Sheryl Crow is too, this is a little sedate for my taste but it's good beach/road trip music I guess. All I Wanna do remains a bop.
A few flashes of brilliance, and if the goal was getting plenty of radio play then it totally succeeded at that. But when it isn't hitting its highs, it's just ho-hum run of the mill music.
Blah
Sorry Sheryl I am busy Tuesday nights
I'm struck by how much of a stylistic hodgepodge this is. Not at all uncommon with debut albums where the artist is still finding their footing, but it doesn't make it any less jarring. There are some interesting ideas, even if it doesn't all work for me. Run, Baby, Run was a surprising bit of blues-based rock a la Bonnie Raitt. Solidify is a surprising bit of funk with some cool drumming. The drummer is seriously going off on this one. The Na-Na Song is her version of We Didn't Start the Fire. We Do What We Can is a ballad with a trip-hop feel to it before it opens up to a dramatic, piano-driven bridge. The trouble is the rest is mostly easy listening singer-songwriter pop. I find that mode to be a bit boring although All I Wanna Do is catchy as hell.
I don't have much to say about it. Singing is good, but music is samey. Tolerable
Liked it. Good album. Not a masterpiece by any stretch. But good.
i like it. not a 5 star. not a classic. but a good singer / songwriter pop album. i enjoyed it sufficiently. some of her better songs are on here
Not my cup of tea but some good songs.
Love Cheryl
I had fun with this one! So very 90s
12/17/25: sort of just feeling like bland 90s upbeat pop rock. I don't hate it but I don't know that I would choose to listen to it either. 5/10.
2.5
A couple of okay songs but mostly quite boring
All I wanna do is a bop, but rest of the album isnt my cup of tea.
Good voice, but not very interesting
Great songs throughout
I still love All I Wanna Do, but I'm pretty over the rest of the album, it no longer lures me the same way it once did.
Classic Sheryl. Not really my kind of music. I do like We Do What We Can. 3
not for me
I have to say, this albums greatest accomplishment is that it made me have a ton of respect for Sheryl Crow. I didn’t have a strong opinion o her one way or another and if you asked me what her biggest hit song was that made her a household name I couldn’t tell you what it was. But I did think going into this album that I probably wouldn’t like it. And for the most part that was accurate, but the album had its moments as well. The biggest being the huge hit song on this album “all I want to do” which I definitely remember being everywhere when I was a kid and in fact I remember hearing it at amusement parks on vacation as a kid. But it’s really catchy and endearing, it’s genuinely a great song. The other two songs I liked a lot were strong enough and Solidify. The later of which is really impressive, it not only shows the variety of sound on this mom-pop album and also shows the risks she was willing to take on this album cause this is a HUGE left turn sonically. It almost sounds like it might be a joke throwaway song but it’s actually one of if not the best song on the album. But yah the real problem is that this album is just so boring as a whole. It’s just a mom-pop album and it’s pretty bland but here and there it has its moments.
8 / 10
Pretty good for its time
All I Wanna Do was released almost a year after the album came out? TIL. And it's my least favorite hit of the era and of this album. I can kind of see why it's buried in the album--I'm guessing if they knew it would be huge it would've been the first track. Totally forgot Can't Cry Anymore existed, but it's really great. Even with the weird songwriting controversies, this is a more than solid debut.
This isn't a complicated record but it's worth noting that the blues (a genre frequently referenced, right from the jump) and Americana weren't particularly cool in 1993. Tom Petty's Wildflowers (an all-timer) wouldn't come out for another year and blues musicians weren't in vogue. Country music sounded like... something else. Then along comes Sheryl Crow with an album born from an eponymous songwriters' circle (see the names with writing credits on the album) and she busts into the national consciousness. She was the real deal and the recording process wisely shows it off -- 'Strong Enough' features a slightly raspy vocal track that's wholly uncharacteristic for mass-market recordings of women's voices in the early 90's. The preponderance of blues licks and steel guitar outside of a Nashville recording (this was made in Pasadena). It was a real cultural moment -- a woman who sounded as much like Petty and Mellencamp as she did any popular women of the day. She draws more from Bonnie Raitt and Dolly Parton than she does from Celine Dion. It's an altogether pleasant album. Crow is a good singer and writer of melodies and she and her backing band put together a sound that is as much a live jam in a good bar as it is a major production. Anyway, this is what punched through the heavy weave of corporate music control in 1993 from the place where actual people write music with their friends. It's not a work of staggering genius but it's really good and a surprisingly assured and diverse debut. 4/5
radio-friendly, lightweight
Lite småtrevlig kompetent popmusik, men krossar väl inga regimer direkt. Svag tvåa.
Nä det är för trist asså.
Spontan känsla två låtar in: för mycket popcountry-brutta-jill-Johnson för mig. Ok, solidify var lite fet. Några bra och hittiga låtar, men forgetable.
Tog för lång tid innan jag insåg att Sheryl Crow inte är Shania Twain. Den sistnämnda har man ju också sett i Globen när jag var typ 8. Classic sexual awakening. Skivan börjar rätt bra med bla Run Baby Run. Sen blir det rätt bjäring ett tag och så plötsligt kommer den där jazziga balladen? Riktigt fet. På det stora hela - okej pop.
Jag vet inte riktigt hur jag ska bete mig här. Det är ju… Hmm. Extremt tråkigt. Men jag tänker att sån här musik ändå uppfyller någon form av syfte. Passar bra strömmandes från en cdspelare i sommarstugan. Tänkte att jag inte heller blir lack men sen kom The Na-Na song och då blev jag lack ändå. Inte Johnny Sack-lack. Men lite småsur.
så myyysigt och feel good! hygge!
Riktigt bra frisörmusik!
I was expecting a bit more from this album having only heard All I Wanna Do previously. Unfortunately I was left a little disappointed, I was hoping for a 90’s Joni Mitchell but what I got was a bit bland really.
Surprised me in a good way!
Pointe-Calumet Core. Pécerie Core.
Easy to listen to and fun, up-beat music that kind of blended in to the background. It's something I would expect to hear a lot on the radio and I mean that in the best way.
just wasn’t for me i fear
144 Piola, para ser country me gustó harto. All I wanna do, is have some fun~
Tää levy löytyy omasta hyllystä. Tuli kuunneltua tätä 90-luvun puolessa välissä, mutta sen jälkeen ei oo pyörinyt soittimessa...
How good was this album? If it were someone’s entire musical catalog they would be over the moon excited.
Not a fan.
3.09
country feeling pure
A very smooth badass listen. Didn’t expect to enjoy a Sheryl Crown album so much but this joint was nice.
Prob a 4.
i guess it was okay
good voice good sound, just not my jam
Some good songs I had never heard before but some filler or styles of song that grated. Good variation for solo artist.
Not for me
1st half good. 2nd half bad.
Man the 90's were a wild time for music. Honestly, for my money, the best decade in music. That's not necessarily in relation to this album, its merely fine for me, but this album does exemplify a lot of why the 90s were so great. 90's were a time where pretty much anything could get radio play (in no other decade would Beck's Loser or The Butthole Surfer's Pepper ever be allowed to get airplay) and a lot of it was fantastic. This album is very 90's in sound while also kinda vibing with that "anything goes" mindset. Damn thing even has a jazz cut in We Do What We Can. Effortlessly smooth as well. But yeah, it's generally just fine for me. All I Wanna Do is a fantastic song. We Do What We Can is great too. But the rest don't do much for me.
Belíssimo álbum de pop. Vocais e arranjos ótimos. Roseselsa Quietsea II.
It was fine. Nothing life changing. I'm never gonna seek it out on my own, but I wouldn't demand that somebody play something else if it came on. Adequate music to clean the garage to
Lance Armstrong’s ex released an album? Who knew?
3 only because of how good All I Wanna Do and String Enough are.
It's good, smooth voice
The singles from this album sell Sheryl as a country-adjacent singer songwriter, which is broadly accurate, but doesn't tell the whole story. Sure, there’s plenty of twang here, but it's all from the guitars and not the vocals. Where Shania Twain's story will be "Country goes Pop", this album makes Sheryl's feel kinda like "Pop goes Country". I'm sure I'm missing plenty of context for the state of pop radio in 1993, but this sounds like it might be an important milestone for country/rock crossovers. Would Shania’s crossover been as successful without this? What about Faith Hill or Taylor Swift? I won’t commit to giving Sheryl too much credit, but it feels kinda true. Half of this album ended up as singles, so you've probably heard a good portion of this record already. Those singles are enough to keep you busy, but if you're interested in going deeper, I have two recs: "Solidify" - this is pretty funky and I love the organ. It totally doesn't fit the rest of the album, but that's what makes it so fun. "The Na-Na Song" - also a departure from the rest of the album. It borrows from Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" in the same way that Beck's "Loser" (also 1993!) does. Loser is probably the better song, but I enjoyed this too. The singles (in release order): "Run Baby Run" - this didn't hit in 1993, but feels like a Sheryl Classic now. "What I Can Do for You" - you probably don't know this song because it was released before Sheryl started to break through, but it should have been a bigger hit. "Leaving Las Vegas" "All I Wanna Do" "Strong Enough" "Can't Cry Anymore" - It's clear that they were courting country radio with this one. But, hot take: if they held "What I Can Do For You" until after Sheryl started breaking through, it could have been released here and this song wouldn't have been a single.
Imagine being Bonnie Rait in 1993, she's been working for like 20 years and then she hits gold with 90's divorced moms and then this young whippersnap comes out of nowhere with 'Strong Enough'. I don't know how I feel about Sheryl Crow, I don't know if I needed to hear her music before I died. I just happened to hear it because of the years that I lived. The lyrics on the 'na na song' were pretty good in the microgenre of "songs where people just unleash a flurry of topical stuff that rhymes". I'm somewhere between 2 and 3 stars.
This album gave me a lot of nostalgia. A very high 3 but just a few too many songs I wasn't too big a fan of.
Is it one of the 1001 best albums of all time? No, probably not. Is it bright, fun and catchy as hell? Fuck yes it is!
Decent album with decent variety, some hits, some misses. Don't need to say anything about absolute MegaHit All I Wanna Do, but I am pleased that the whole album doesn't sound like it. That said, some of hte misses - eh. She's a good singer so why is she putting out songs where her voice is straining a little? She has so much other stuff to go on. Additionally, to my taste, some of these songs are just filler. The Na-Na song was the first time I checked what I was listening to because it took me out of the rest of it. Leaving Las Vegas, too - kind of an also ran. But hey, decent album means they're not all bangers. Good example (blueprint?) of that 90s girl rock lilith-ish sound.
Easy sound overall. I can listen to All I want to do like once a month and any more it just bugs me.
She's talented but not a fan
J'ai pensé que j'allais aimé. Je me suis trompée.
6 singles! Holy moly. Shot Shezza
Loved the song title, used to love when i was a little boy and i never knew that was sheryl singing.
Not the worst thing ever but the very clean production on this doesn't do it any favours 2.5*
This was boring. It's telling that no one really noticed the album until the 4th single was released. Sherly is about the most "average" pop star I can think of.
Influences of Stevie Wonder, make it little more country pop, overproduce, and you have a result of something utterly boring. All I Wann Do Is have some fun, and this was not it.
This is an 'almost' album. It almost escapes being background music, it is almost enjoyable enough for me to want to re-visit, it is almost worth 3/5. One of the 1001 best albums... nah.
This woman has an amazing knack of making every single song go on just a bit longer than it should. Every track outstays its welcome, to the point I figure she must be doing it on purpose. It's all quite inoffensive, but really quite dull.
Not a fan but there were Beatles references so 3 stars
I would rate this 3.5 if I could. Some of it was underwhelming, but I generally liked it. I was surprised that "All I Wanna Do" was buried so far down the track list!
Sweet tons by Sheryl's guitar, nice lyrics and right voice
This was pretty fun, but did not wow me
I liked the songs more that veered into full on rock territory (e.g.: The Na-Na song) than the ones that were pop rock. Still, I have to give props to the songwriting and all the vivid details in there, but other than that it's not a musically interesting album.
Like the stripped down production, but doesn't really do anything to me.
This was my first full album experience with Ms. Crow, and for as many years as I've know of her and her hits, I'm very surprised by how much I did not care for this album. I like her voice, and the music is generally a skillful, interesting, bluesey-pop blend, but something about this doesn't pull together for me—the pacing, the lyrics, the general feel, something... 2.5 is the best I can do, so it rounds up to a three.
The singles on this album hold up well enough to nudge this to a 4, but I don't think I'll be revisiting the album despite the nostalgia. 3.7
Not my style
While Sheryl has made some decent and catchy pop hits, I don't find her wider music particularly great. This is still a very decent debut album, but I am not the biggest fan of these tracks or her voice.
This is mostly music meant for grocery stores, but it still has its moments.
nette backgroundmusik für einen stressigen tag.
Mir gefällt die Stimme nicht.
This sucks shit
I owned this album back when it first came out. I enjoy this album.
I’m certainly not the target audience for this one. It’s competent and varied enough that I can’t give it one star but I this one was a bit more of a chore than usual. 3/10
This was awesome. I have always loved Sheryl Crow's music, but I had never listened to most of this album before. It blows my mind that her first album was so varied and deep, musically speaking. There are so many different sounds and vibe on this record and I really enjoyed listening to every song, including the ones I knew well and the ones I had never heard before. I had no idea that she could do all of these styles so perfectly so long ago/early in her life. I didn't realize that I could love Sheryl Crow more than I already did, but listening to this album corrected that. I listened to it twice, five stars.
Middle section suuuuucks but there are some all-timers here. Why is All I Wanna Do not the first track??? 3.5
This album was everywhere when it came out. My whole family had a copy. Even my father, who is basically the mayor of Footloose, had a copy. Favorite from the album: Leaving Las Vegas
**In-Depth Review: *Tuesday Night Music Club* – Sheryl Crow (1993)** --- **🎧 Overview** *Tuesday Night Music Club* is Sheryl Crow’s 1993 debut album, a rootsy, genre-blending record that launched her into mainstream success. Born from a collaborative songwriting group (the "Tuesday Music Club"), the album blends rock, pop, folk, country, and even jazz influences. It’s a snapshot of early '90s Americana, with introspective lyrics, laid-back grooves, and a touch of irony. --- ### 📝 **Lyrics** Crow’s lyrics are **observational, emotionally resonant**, and often **autobiographical**, though universal in theme. Songs like “All I Wanna Do” are based on poetry (Wyn Cooper’s “Fun”), and showcase her knack for **storytelling with a wink** . “Leaving Las Vegas” and “Strong Enough” delve into **emotional vulnerability**, while “The Na-Na Song” offers a **stream-of-consciousness, Dylan-esque** political rant . > “My words are autobiographical, but thematically universal. Women will relate to ‘Strong Enough,’ but everyone has felt sick of their situation.” – Sheryl Crow --- ### 🎶 **Music & Style** Musically, the album is **eclectic**: - **“Run Baby Run”** opens with a **grunge-lite** edge. - **“All I Wanna Do”** is a **sun-soaked, funky jam**. - **“We Do What We Can”** ventures into **jazz and R&B**, with sultry vocals and unexpected instrumental breaks . - **“I Shall Believe”** closes the album with a **folk-tinged, hymnal ballad** . This variety gives the album a **jam-session feel**, true to its collaborative origins, but also makes it feel **slightly disjointed** at times. --- ### 🎛️ **Production** Produced by **Bill Bottrell** and **Dan Schwartz**, the production is **stylish but not slick** . It’s **loose and organic**, with a **live-room warmth** that complements Crow’s voice and the album’s introspective tone. Instruments like **upright bass, tambourine, and steel guitar** add texture and rootsy authenticity . --- ### 🧠 **Themes** The album explores: - **Emotional resilience** (“Strong Enough”) - **Existential restlessness** (“Leaving Las Vegas”) - **Everyday escapism** (“All I Wanna Do”) - **Personal and political commentary** (“The Na-Na Song”) There’s a **strong undercurrent of female empowerment**, but also **loneliness, disillusionment**, and **self-discovery**. --- ### 🌟 **Influence & Legacy** Though initially slow to catch on, the album became a **’90s cornerstone**, earning **three Grammy Awards** and a place in the book *1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die* . It helped define the **adult alternative** sound of the decade and paved the way for a wave of **female singer-songwriters** who balanced **commercial appeal with artistic credibility**. --- ### ✅ **Pros** - **Strong lyrical storytelling** with emotional and observational depth. - **Eclectic musical palette** – rock, folk, jazz, pop, and country all make appearances. - **Organic production** that feels live and intimate. - **Memorable singles** like “All I Wanna Do,” “Strong Enough,” and “Leaving Las Vegas.” - **Crow’s vocal performance** – raspy, expressive, and versatile. --- ### ❌ **Cons** - **Inconsistent tone** – the genre-hopping can feel jarring. - **Repetitive outros and pacing issues** – some tracks overstay their welcome . - **A few weaker tracks** (“We Do What We Can,” “The Na-Na Song”) that don’t quite land. - **Lacks cohesion** – feels more like a collection of songs than a unified album. --- ### 🏁 **Final Verdict** *Tuesday Night Music Club* is a **bold, if uneven, debut** that captures Sheryl Crow at her most raw and collaborative. It’s **lyrically sharp**, **musically diverse**, and **emotionally resonant**, even if it occasionally loses focus. For many, it remains a **’90s classic** – a time capsule of **post-grunge Americana** and **confessional pop-rock**. A compelling introduction to one of the era’s most enduring voices.
wow, this is great! Knew I loved All I wanna do, but this whole album is a treat
I mean, it's a pop rock record that aims for the mainstream so of course (almost) all the hits are at the front while the rest is packed by filler songs that are just there to fill the air. But that doesn't matter because all that was needed was a couple of big hits to sell massive amount of CDs and that's what we have here. Too bad I'm not interested in the hits either.
She looks like a nice person, but I'm sorry, this sucks.
Heartland pop/rock from 1993? I'm sorry for Sheryl, but I can't.
3.5
05/11/2025 It wasn't too bad of an album. Spotify listeners: 7.2 million
I actually really enjoyed this, and pretty much most of the songs I really felt for. My favorite is "Can't Cry anymore"
A 90s time capsule, in a good and bad way. Didn't evoke any strong feelings in me and a feel very little connection to the country/rock crossover...All I Wanna Do is a great bop nonetheless.
Her lilting, sliding vocals grated on me a bit, and I only enjoyed them in a couple songs. She has a unique sound, but I only really enjoyed it in a couple songs, particularly "Leaving Las Vegas."
All kinds of songs, fun one and well-produced. I don't think she is a very good singer, but good overall.
She doesn’t sound good in the album. Could be the production or her techniques. Music wise it’s just ok. Nothing too special. Poppy but not catchy. Pretty mediocre for me.
Honestly enjoyed this album a lot. It’s fun, poppy, and easy to jam along to. Decent listen in my book, and would gladly welcome another album from her
It was alright. I liked some songs, didn’t like others. “All I Wanna Do” obviously has a banging chorus, but the song as a whole is pretty clunky. A little bit disappointed with this one.
All I Wanna Do still gets all the airplay (and too much of it in my opinion), but Strong Enough is the best song on this album by far. There are parts of the album where Sheryl’s vocals are a little whiny, but I still enjoyed listening to this album the whole way through.
I think I came into this album with my expectations set a little too high. I was expecting a little more with such a well known artist (at least to me). "All I Wanna Do" is a classic, and there were a few others that I did enjoy. Overall I liked it, but her voice isn't as good as I was expecting and the lyrics did nothing for me.
har kunnet lide sheryl crow lige siden jeg har set cars. Hun har sgu attitude og det lyder godt. Det er proto-americana, roots rock, pop rock, folk rock. Det tager inspiration i den tidligere form af rock selvom det blev udgivet i mtv tiden hvor grunge osv var allerstørst. Rimelig sejt gennembrudsalbum og hun har åbenbart været backup sanger for michael jackson. Synes der er nogle gode numre på og vil gerne lytte til det igen, men synes ikke det er min lyd eller noget bemærkelsesværdigt.
Enjoyable - almost a 4.
There are a few decent songs on here, but also a few stinkers (Na Na is one of them). And Crow seemed to ditch these guys that collaboratively made this music as soon as she was famous, which doesn't seem entirely cool
Sheryl Crow can't sing. The last 3 songs aren't all that cohesive but they're the only ones worth listening to. 1.4 outta 5
Middle of the road. Ok
I was only familiar with her single releases, and this album puts a completely different perspective on my impression of this artist.
In principal I really like a lot of female solo vocalist’s and apart from Peter Gabriel, a lot more than their male counterparts. Unfortunately this does not apply to Sheryl Crow. This album not a complete disaster as it’s made up of quite a few different genres. Enough to make it stand out and I can see why it’s on the list. A once through listen was not wasted time but if asked to listen again would have to say I’m washing my hair. 2/5 1/11/25
3/5, not my type of music but can appreciate really good vocals and guitar
5.5/10 Decent, but not particularly inspiring Highlights: What I Can Do for You Leaving Las Vegas Solidify
A timeless classic, great lyrics and songs.
The singles are the highlights, and those highs aren't even that high. It gets nostalgia points, but it isn't exactly pushing any boundaries.
Way better than expected
When first hearing this album it was a welcome addition to the tradition of great singer songwriters. She was easy to listen to and great to look at…shame on my sexism.
3.3 2x decent enough but i remember this being so over played in the 90s
The instruments used here were grating to the ears. The vocals did not really help either. Favourite Track(s): Solidify, We Do What We Can Least Favourite Track(s): Leaving Las Vegas, The Na-Na Song, No One Said It Would Be Easy
Better than I expected
3.5 Struggled with the rating, felt maybe a four but other than the radio hits I've heard hundreds of times I didn't like much else on this album. I think I decided Strong Enough is my favorite song on the album (which is odd as I didn't love it on radio play.) Finally settle on my rating system that this is a very good album but not one I would necessarily want to invest time listening to again, though I wouldn't at all if someone else had it on in the background. May still come back and upgrade to a 4
Tuesday Night Music Club (1993) überzeugt mit ausdrucksstarken Songs und Sheryl Crows markanter Stimme. Der Top-Song: „All I Wanna Do“ – ein lässiger Hit, der das Album berühmt machte.
Love me some Sheryl Crow and I like this album👍🏿👍🏿
Never heard of this album or artist before. If I'm to judge this album by the cover like a true critic, I'd guess that I'm in for a country affair. Rock - that's a surprise. Anyways, this album stinks. The songwriting does not gel with the instrumentals at all, which leaves the album sounding pretty airheaded and frustrating. The vocals are the key problem with this. I'm sure Sheryl Crow is a talented vocalist, though the way in which she sings does not work at all. Any ounce of authenticity has been sawed off and smoothed out into a pretty awful, overproduced final product. The instrumentals are also pretty stale and unremarkable - especially in the guitar department. I wish there was more of a reason as to why I don't like this album, though these problems are persistent enough to the point where they completely ruined my enjoyment. "Solidify has a decent bass guitar hook. The percussive sound is decent, though the vocals are annoying as ever. "No One Said it Would Be Easy" is a track I can appreciate. I like the lower energy when compared with the rest of this album's offerings, and the moody, reverberating guitar is pretty good. "All I Wanna Do" kind of sucks dick. I'm surprised it was a hit. The country and blues sound do not gel with one another at all, and the vocals are rambling and discordant during the verses. The chorus is decent, though that's the only thing really going for this song. Book time. Sold well and won a few awards. Not convinced yet - off to Wikipedia I go. Has a decent critical reception. Yeah, I'm snubbing this one. In place of this album, I humbly submit Pinkerton by Weezer for inclusion on the list.
