Better album than I was expecting. Doesn't need to be on this list by any means but it's totally fine.
All I wanna dooooooo is have some fuuuuun and I did
Only heard the big single from before. For the first couple of songs I actually quite enjoyed it. But as it went on I became bored of it and wanted it to end 2/5
it's not even tuesday :/
Dull and uninspiring.
No, Sheryl.
4/10
I’ve listened to this album before and didn’t like it except for one or two songs. But I actually really enjoyed it over all this time. It’s interesting how my tastes and music sensibilities change over the years. I would give it a 3.5.
Enjoyed the general vibe, but no outstanding tracks
I listened to this a long time ago and forgot to rate it. It's okay, but nothing stands out to me. I don't think I'll be back for another listen; twice was enough.
Started off thinking I was going to quite like it, then it just became okay.
I have a soft spot for Sheryl Crow's music, but when I put my biases aside, I can't give this middling album more than a middling score
Not her best, not her worst.
Good
decent album with some fun moments. it's pretty laid back, as you might expect from a sheryl crow album. the best song, by far here is "all i wanna do" which isn't surprising. there are some fun moments otherwise, but it doesn't get very remarkable.
There's some good stuff on this album - nothing revolutionary of course but there's enough style and personality to make it recognisably Shezza (does anyone call her Shezza?). I definitely prefer the breezy, upbeat country-rockers to the ballads or more cinematic numbers, though.
3/5
Before this, I’d only heard Sheryl Crow’s biggest hits—never a full album—so I was curious to give Tuesday Night Music Club a proper listen on a quiet Sunday evening. I’ve always enjoyed her greatest hits; they’re catchy, easygoing, and fun, even though pop/country isn’t usually my go-to genre. That said, a few tracks on this album really stood out. “Leaving Las Vegas” shines with its storytelling and energy, and “Can’t Cry Anymore” delivers an upbeat, infectious vibe that’s hard not to enjoy. On the flip side, a few songs didn’t quite land. “Strong Enough” and “Solidify” felt flat and lacked the spark to keep my attention. Overall, the album leans into a middle-of-the-road country-rock sound—solid and well-produced, but nothing particularly groundbreaking or adventurous but a good fun album with some good songs. That being said, Crow’s voice is excellent, and her songwriting talent is undeniable. While this album didn’t fully click with me, I can absolutely see the appeal for fans of this style. Favourite Tracks: “Leaving Las Vegas” and “All I Wanna Do” – both standout sing-along anthems with great energy. Least Favourite: “Strong Enough” and “No One Said It Would Be Easy” – both felt dull and forgettable. Album Artwork: A fitting, well-designed cover
83% Best: Run, Baby, Run; Can't Cry Anymore; Solidify; All I Wanna Do Must-Hear? Sure
"Honest! It's not what you think! I was only listening because of this app I've got. Really!" Not bad but probably they first and last time I'll listen to this one. Didn't hate it. Three stars.
Perfectly pleasant, but totally overshadowed by All I Wanna Do, with none of the other tracks leaving a lasting memory.
Varsin keskinkertaista, tai jopa aika huonoa. Ei tällainen kahden markan Alanis Morrisette kyl purase. 1/5
Aika tylsä ysäripoppislevy. Kaipaisin enemmän särmää. 2/5
While I suppose many question why this album on a list like this, I enjoyed revisiting it. A terrific first album by Sheryl Crow that launched a very successful career. Some great songs including Run Baby Run, All I Wanna Do and We Do What We Can, a song with a cool jazz feel.
the most mid country rock to ever exist. her voice is nice, but the lyrics are really dumb at times. could be better, could be worse.
Ms. Crow can write an interesting song (but I seem to remember there were disputes about who wrote what? Plagiarism, or not sharing credit??). Well however they came about, these songs keep the singer-songwriter tradition happening. What radio-friendly music should be.
She has an easy, relatable, at times anthemic style. She’s never quite done it for me but perfectly inoffensive. And some of those songs have obviously ingrained themselves into popular culture so far I knew most of the words.
This could be a five but I'm trying to be reserved. I love Sheryl Crow. Beautiful and charismatic voice. She has great studio musicians. The production is light and fun. The more serious mood songs are raw and open. I'm glad I didn't miss this one.
Her voice isn’t the strongest (3), but I love this album like a 5, so here’s my compromise.
I am such a massive fan of Sheryl Crow's second (eponymous) album. I bring that up because I think it showcases her growth as a singer and songwriter and player (and producer) and is far superior to this album in every way. This, as a debut, is fine. Well produced, competent, scored her a couple of hits, it's a good start. But the production of her vocals is the worst part of this record. She sounds thin and strained in places, and the songwriting is derivative too often. I would strongly advocate for the second album over this one. I guess the reality is I never really liked this record. I've given it a try more than once, and each time wonder if I'll hear it differently. Nope... I think I liked it less today than ever. Glad it launched her career, but as the one of the catalog to listen to, no way.
Yeah, this was decent. All I Wanna Do is one of my favorites. Such a great groove. The rest was solid. I dug the last song. I remember liking her self-titled album a bit more.
Not sure I ever listened to this entire album. Sure the hits are still fire but I think in terms of GREAT album...her follow-up self-titled LP is better. I remember being so enthralled with her when she hit the scene b/c we didn't have many women at the time with this kind of sound and style. Case in point - there were 16 women on the main stage at Lilith Fair in 1997. Jen and I were there but can't remember if we saw Sheryl Crow, which is ridiculous!
Hahaha I was surprised how much I enjoyed this one… all I was to do is have some fun is SUCH an earworm. Top 3 . Have some fun 2. Run baby run 3. Leaving las Vegas
I'm torn about Sheryl Crow. I like her first bunch of albums, this one and the next in particular (the self-titled I like a lot more of the tracks). But being a fan of Kevin Gilbert, it's hard to listen to this album. Sheryl Crow claims that she wrote all of the music and lyrics, where it is clearly NOT what the other band members have said. The only reason it was put as a Sheryl Crow album is because her first album was "not releasable," so since she had a contract, it went under her name. At some point during working and releasing the album, she dumped Kevin Gilbert and went on to find her star somewhere else. And Kevin Gilbert... died. Yes, he was angry, although he tried to put it past him. But I think about what could have been, where he would be now, such a talented guy. So yeah, the album is a little tough to listen to. But if you remove all that emotional baggage, there are a number of catchy tunes on this album. Although there are a couple of tracks that are... unnecessary (looking at you "The Na Na Song). A number of the tracks do make me realize that when she had her "country" phase, that was in her style along; it's not that much of a leap. So although many people think of this as her best album, I still like the next one better. Top tracks: "Run Baby Run," "Leaving Las Vegas," "All I Wanna Do," "No One Said It Would Be Easy"
I never really liked her big single All I Wanna Do and similarly I didn't love this album on first or second listen. Not bad, but didn't resonate. Except for Strong Enough - I always loved that softer song - and the similar softie I Shall Believe. However, the album was fine enough to keep playing until I could really pay attention and by my third go-through I found myself digging her more up-tempo rockers that started the album. Run, Baby, Run and Leaving Las Vegas (and maybe Can't Cry Anymore) are solid even if a bit flawed - she tries too hard on her vocals and there's a hint of pop sellout to the alt-country rock sound. But I still didn't really resonate with songs 5-10. Her soft songs in there are too slow or off-tempo and her up-tempo songs are uninteresting, except for maybe the Na Na Song. Trying a bit too hard for pop culture references but I like the edgy attempt. So 4 strong songs, 2 maybes, and 5 shrugs. Feels like a 3.5 at best and I'm not rounding up.
I'm a fan of the late prog musician Kevin Gilbert, who was a member of the Tuesday Night Music Club, and an excellent musician and songwriter in his own right (check out his solo album Thud, released in 1995, the year before he died). KG was dating Crow while a member of the TNMC and he's the one who invited her to join that collective of incredibly talented musicians. Every article I've read says the same: she over-claimed credit for these songs and fell out with pretty much every member of the TNMC after the album was released. So, knowing this background colors how I view this album. However, if you ignore that backstory, it's an excellent album, deserving of all its success. Outstanding songs and excellent recording quality. Her voice perfectly matches the mood of the songs. I would give it the 5 it deserves, but I'm deducting 1 star for the way she treated her co-writers. Take that, Sheryl Crow! Favorite tracks: Pretty much all the tracks are great, not just the hits.
A wholesome brand of country pop
i’m sorry sheryl.. it’s like the chicks but boneless, like shania but without the blind support on a national basis, like nickelback if chad kroger was a female country musician
Middling.
Coffeehouse songs. Pleasant enough to sip to, but nothing catches me beyond that. okay, I liked "All I Wanna Do" enough back in the 90's and it is still a sing-along classic today.
I won't give up on you..... Polymath
60/1001 - Great voice. I like the rock instrumentation and the different genre songs like "Solidify" and "We Do What We Can." It is missing something and I'm not sure what (experimentation with different song forms, dynamics, general excitement, etc.).
Enjoyed this back in the day. Holds up. So many really good pop-rock songs.
Although "Tuesday Night Music Club" is billed as Sheryl Crow's solo debut album, it is essentially a collaborative project of artists who created the music. The outcome is a decent, albeit somewhat inconsistent, album featuring several notable tracks. "All I Wanna Do," "Leaving Las Vegas," and "Strong Enough" are the best tracks, while the remainder of the album tends to be rather ordinary and easily forgettable. The most interesting part of the album, to me at least, is how this got on this list.
Had only really heard the songs that made it to the radio. The deeper cuts here show quite the range. Going in thinking this was a 3 but it won me over to a 4.
I listened to two songs and got interrupted. Paused the album and when I came back, I really, really didn’t want to jump back in. Probably unfair of me, but there’s a new album everyday and I don’t want to drag whatever’s next just to finish an album I wasn’t enjoying in the first place.
Almost perfect 👍
3.7/5
I can sing along to the big hits on this album but nonetheless I find it boring. Good for her for getting rid of her Muskmobile though.

Listenable
I haven’t felt that much like a teenage girl since listening to Houmous & Chutney’s 4th studio album ‘Feels; Like a Teenage Girl’. Written by Len about his teenage daughter’s struggles through puberty. I did suggest the title wasn’t quite right but Len insisted. His daughter still doesn’t talk to him 3.0
Jam sessions. We got a good eleven jam sesh songs here. Give up for the JAM! This album doesn’t say nothing deep, nor will it ask you to think critically. Fifty minutes of uninterrupted easy, breezy, fun. What a world. 3/5
Really decent album, deffo a vibe for today. All I wanna do is a real standout classic.
Good album. Musically, I thought the album was pretty good. Interesting lyrics. For me, the vocals were either spot on or absolutely dreadful.
No
3.4 - Yeah it was pretty chill, but nothing mind blowing
Pretty much fine album. Did not offend me even slightly. 3.3/5
I used to work for Virgin Megastore many years ago and that song was played EVERY FUCKING MORNING when the shutters opened... Shockingly if you skip that one song this is actually an okay album
3/5. I love the authentic and raw emotion on this album. You can definitely feel the debut energy of it but it still has a lot of heart that you can hear in her vocals. The instrumentation is simple and with the joint songwriting, there are some varied ideas that don't always land but Sheryl somehow still makes them work. It's a solid album overall and a nice listen. Best Song: All I Wanna Do, Run Baby Run, Strong Enough
Ooooooh from only knowing her from her involvement in the cars soundtrack, this is fantastic. It’s just a nice take on grassroots rock with just some hella interesting music. I did find out that I knew All I wanna do which was a surprise so I guess I don’t just know her from cars
She is such an American sweetheart in her music, which makes for an easy and sometimes fun album that works fairly well. All I Wanna Do is just brilliant and I'm surprised they didn't understand that should be the single of the album. However, a lot of just forgettable songs and songs that don't hit the mark compared to how I thought it would be, with All I Wanna Do. A good pick but not exactly stepping into greatness.
Easy listening for the grocery store or dentist office. Has potential but mostly falls flat
I have some nostalgia for “All I wanna do,” and she’s a decent singer and songwriter, but I didn’t really care for this album. Also, what’s with the weird RHCP sounding song? Anyway, she’s a great lady Tom Petty. The first track was my favorite.
Didn’t expect to live this album as much as I did.
Were this shorter, I would listen to it again, but there’s only so much time I can spend in a bar scene from a 90s Bruckenheimer movie before I have to shake the polish from my ears. There’s some good material here - singles aside, “No One Said It Would Be Easy” has the soft rhythmic push of the quieter VU songs - but there’s too much of it. Confidential to Simon: 1. No, I have not read the diverting "Bad Wisdom" - should I? 2. When the opening swirl of “All I Wanna Do” began I sang on reflex “All I wanna do is scratch my bum.” (I’ve got a feeling I’m not the only one.) 3. My conclusion from this album is that I should listen to “Exile in Guyville” again: same year, some similar circumstances, wildly different results.
Inexplicably popular bar band music. Let's have a good one next, eh?
Disappointed in how........disappointing this album is. Few excellent tracks but they actually hinder the album by making everything around them sound even more boring in comparison
It’s a weird blend of pop, country, and rock that doesn’t totally work for me. It doesn’t help that Sheryl’s voice isn’t particularly pleasant. The layered vocals sound like nails on a chalkboard. On top of all that, the album really sputters out at the end. The last two songs are snoozers.
Very VERY controversial opinion but i enjoy sheryl crow. That being said, i understand the disdain for her. When i look at her music objectively, i see it as catchy pop-rock. (if you could even call it that) Not a deep listening experience, no crazy vocals, just lighthearted, surface level pop, good background music. I’ve always thought that she’s a good mix of Gwen Stefani and Shirley Manson
Dated pop rock
Fine
2.0 I really didn't like but I can't quite put my finger on as to why. It feels like music made for people who don't like actual music.
It has some good moments but it’s not my kind of music. But I made it through the complete record. That’s at least something.
I did not like the sound of her voice, it sounded very rough for a lot of the songs which pulled me out of the music. Also the songs themselves were boring to me. overall not my vibe :/
+1 for use of guitar No One Said It Would Be Easy has a great riff
All I wanna do is stop listening to this album!!
Nombre fidedigno. Aunque no es horrible oírlo, se me hace bastante cansado, y los 50 minutos que dura no ayudan. Canción destacada: All I Wanna Do
Juagada maestra, de una Sheryl ambiciosa y lista que se quedó con el nombre del grupo y sus canciones. Pegó el bombazo al año de haberse publicado, cuando All i wanna do sonó en todas partes. Triunfo total para una artista que sirvió de inspiración para lo que vino después (Alanis, Meredith o Taylor por ejemplo). El antecedente podría ser Nick of time de Bonni Raitt, con regusto country (slide fabulosa) , pop, rock, jazz y blues. Todo muy americano y del gusto de todos, se hinchó a vender discos. El disco se escucha muy fácil de tirón. Destacan, al margen de su mega éxito, Run baby run, No One Said It Would Be Easy y poco más.
decent, not my jam overall. Girl power.
An amazing number of great songs here, especially considering it's a debut album. Crow definitely hit the ground running!
I didn't have high hopes going into this one. To me Sheryl Crow is a 1 hit wonder with All I Wanna Do - and I can't stand that song Was pleasantly surprised that not all of her songs were like that. Some I quite enjoyed. But there was also a lot of bad songs scattered among them Overall ok album 3 ⭐️
I wasn't expecting an Aldous Huxley reference in first song. All I Wanna Do is obviously a banger, What Can I Do For You is really interesting, enjoyed Run, Baby, Run. A fun listen but not sure I'll be back
Vibing
My impression of Sheryl Crow has always been that she's a decent mix of country and 90s rock. Listening properly, it's maybe more like adult contemporary with strong influences from country, pop music and classical rock. The variety on the album was a pleasant surprise. The best known songs ("Strong Enough" and "All I Wanna Do") represent the rest of the album's style well. If they're overplayed, it's definitely because they're just great songs that can stand up to the test of time. Not necessarily my usual style but it's a great collection regardless and an impressive debut.
I’ve always had respect for Sheryl Crow, though I can’t claim that I have ever truly been a full-on fan. She had the ability of taking the classic storytelling of country and blending it with good pop-sensibility and singer songwriter heart. On this album, No One Said It Would Be Easy is a perfect example of her mastery of songwriting. I know some love All I Want to Do but hearing it again after three decades of saturation leaves me feeling like All I Want to Do is change the song. It’s a good song-fun; boppy-just very overplayed. Luckily the next song We Do What We Can is a bluesy ditty with a lot of heart. You can even hear some Sara Bareilles influence win here. I am proud to call Sheryl one of ours (…as if I had anything to do with it!😀)
Random thoughts: * I remember hearing "All I Want To Do" for the very first time. I don't often remember the first time I hear songs so it is notable. I remember it having a timeless feel to it because I thought it was an old song I had somehow never heard before. * I never owned this album which is pretty strange for a kid of the 90s since this was bigtime mainstream with at least 3 big hits. * Is Sheryl Crow underrated? Kinda feels like it. Not sure why but seems like she deserves more credit.
This didn’t connect with me at all. I think objectively it’s well produced, decent music and backing band, but the vocals and lyrics and just generally didn’t hit with me.
I was a huge fan of this when it came out, but it seems different than I remember it, or maybe I'm different than I was in 1993? There are some smashing songs on here that I still love, Run, Baby, Run, Leaving Las Vegas, The Na-Na Song and Strong Enough. And I even found a new favorite in What I Can Do For You. So while I'm definitely not the same person I was in 1993, this album is still as solid as it was back then.
Liked Leaving Las Vegas and Strong Enough.
An earlier review called this "the iceberg lettuce of rock and roll," and that says it all.
I quite liked this. Very easy listening.
I don't really like the first two tracks, it sounds minor and muddy. Her voice sounds strained and the melodies are a bit repetitive. The production just sounds a bit wrong throughout... and her voice never quite sounds right either...I could convince myself that it works on some songs like Solidify, but there's still something that sounds off to me about this record. Some highlights, but 2.5
Kinda boring
I feel like the High School Music songwriters drew most of their inspiration from this album.
This one surprised me for sure. One of my mom's favorites, I was a bit skeptical about needing a whole album from Sheryl Crow on here but color me impressed. It's not one of those that blew me out of the water but it's another one of those reasons why I joined the generator in the first place. And now I have something to talk with my mom about so added plus!
Reaaallll eaaasssyyyy shopping music
Tuesday Night Music Club is yet another album that falls into the category of being just good. When i first heard the the name Sheryl Crow, I thought this was going to be a country album but while this does have some country elements, i wouldn't really say that this is a country album. This album has it's fun and catchy songs which i do find to be pretty good songs but it does have some boring ones too. I wasn't too miffed at this album though because the former easily overpowered the latter even if the latter's songs were longer. I do think that this is a decent album that i never really disliked at any point. Best Song: What I Can Do For You Worst Song: No One Said It Would Be Easy
Someone mentioned Taylor Swift in the reviews which put me off at first, it was all I could hear and I can’t stand her songs - sorry not sorry. But I got past my ego, and for the better. I’m not a huge fan of Sheryl Crow, I only really like specific songs. But this is a good enough album to get into. It’s easy going, pleasant, easy listening. I did enjoy “What I Can Do For You” and it would be rude to not like “All I Wanna Do”. The chilled jazz country number “We Do What We Can” was nice too. It does seem a rather generic country rock crossover, but it’s well put together and produced properly. Sheryl brought this genre into the mainstream more than anyone else. I’m certain that she was the inspiration for a lot of young girls to pickup a guitar and play, most likely including Taylor Swift. I can hear a lot of newer artists in her sound, she must have been a significant inspiration. That counts for a lot more than what people give her credit for. I’m giving a 3 for this particular album, it’s pleasant, but not wow factor. Maybe some of her other albums are better, but this is at the height of her popularity.
Feel like this was a bookend album, enjoyed the start and end but drifted a bit in the middle. Overall enjoyable album and will stick on again
No thank you. Not for me. Accomplshed musicianship for sure but not a fun listen.
Apart from 'All I Wanna Do' it's a bit of a nothing album, easy to listen to but nothing outstanding sadly
This is fine and nice to listen to, I'm just not sure why it's on this list?2.5
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Nice summery vibe to it.
This was good fun although not the kinda thing I’d normally put on
Quite liked the first song but the rest I found boring, not my kind of thing
Sheryl Crow's debut is weird, but not in an obvious way. i feel like it has a quality to it of "trying everything", doing as many agreeable sounds as possible to try and get A Thing to stick. i start the album and "Run, Baby, Run" gobsmacks me, hitting me with this stale whiff of CMT and the radio at the local GreatClips. it's one thing opening your album with a ballad, it's another making it five minutes long. then it gets followed up by the much better "Leaving Las Vegas". there's roots rock, there's five minute harmonized folk ballads like Alison Krauss, and there's an inexplicable melding of country, rap, and the "We Didn't Start the Fire" method of protest song where you're just sort of listing stuff. all of it feels like it's in the wrong place, next to the wrong songs, and you could probably spend hours finding an order in which it makes sense but you'll still probably have a few pieces that won't fit. maybe you could call this aspect of the record eclectic, but i just think it's messy. charming, but still messy. with it hitting that cornball middle point between 70's country rock and disco, "All I Wanna Do" becoming a smash hit simultaneously feels like it was always meant to be and like a complete accident. they released four singles from this beforehand and that was what made No. 2 on the Billboard 100. a disco country song about talking with a drunk guy at a bar provided actual competition to "I'll Make Love to You". wild.
Wasn't a fan in the 90's when this was all over the radio but I was like 10 years old when this came out so thought maybe I'd come around 30 years later. Nope, still not a fan. The album wanders around aimlessly through different genres but never really hits any of the consistenly well. The radio singles are fine but not much happening outside of that. Igiving it a 3 for the nostalgia factor.
Considerable amount of songs that feel filler but there is a number of decent ones, plus the overall feeling thia record provides is a sort of smoothness, joy, but also light melancholy.
Pleasant enough easy listening
It was ok
It’s ok, in its way
Less exciting than I remembered
There is something so beautiful and kind about her soul that comes across in her music. She is out to have a good time and just wants to have some fun but in a meaningful way. Run Baby Run is a beautiful song. The only one I wasn't a huge fan of was Solidify, just felt kind of weird and out of place to me. Overall it was nice to hear a beautiful woman talking about life in a way that wasn't overally flashy or attentiony.
Wow! Really enjoyed this album. Every song. Her lyrics are romantic. Sheryl strums my heart strings. Beyond just great songwriting, she mixes up the mood well. Varying styles through the album making it a great ride.
This is a well worn album for me. So much to love in this confident debut album from Sheryl. The huge radio hits are catchy and hold up strong still. Outside of those you have some real deep cut delights in Run Baby Run, No One Said It Would Be Easy, and especially the final one-two jazz influenced punches at the end of the album, We Do What We Can, and the absolutely gorgeous I Shall Believe.
All I wanna do is have some fun too, Sheryl. Love the opening track, and it sets the tone for a solid debut album. I enjoyed this a lot. Obviously several of these songs were hits in the 90s, and it was cool to hear the whole album from start to finish. Never listened to it before. It was a good blend of fun and introspection. I dug her heartfelt lyrics and the emotion in her songs. I Shall Believe is a particularly beautiful and emotional one. The Na-Na Song is my favorite ‘new to me’ song. Great stuff!
Acceptable pop music with a country edge. Doesn't belong on this list, though
I won’t stand for any shit-talking on my girl Sheryl. Her first three records are as solidly written, produced, and performed rock/singer-songwriter records you’ll find from any decade, let alone the 90’s. She fucks. This fucks. 4.5/5
Who told this woman she could sing?
A very good debut. Though I couldn't really pick out anything on a par with 'All I wanna Do" She is a very good artist though
Day362 - any album with four songs that everyone knows is obviously a classic
Some of this is pretty good. Some is absolutely terrible.
Found her voice annoying on some songs, but I liked We Do What All We Can and All I Wanna Do as my standout tracks Music behind the vocals was pretty generic and meh
Somehow, her first album sounds like typical Sheryl Crow, which is an accomplishment in itself. Mellow Rock 'n Roll with a touch of folk. Definitely not a bad album by any means, and even contains her most popular song, but I expected a bit better, because all I wanna do is have some fun. Favorite song: "Leaving Las Vegas".
Better than expected but half are boring as fuck but there's a couple bangers.
Pretty good 3.5
Strong mid-90s coffee house vibes.
A bit plodding until All I Wanna Do
Boring but not bad
I enjoyed this more than I expected too. Not as generic as I feared it would be. There's some variety with a bit of funk on Solidify, a little lounge on We Do What We Can.
Really good.
Sheryl Crow has always occupied a "better-than-average" place in pop-rock for me. I like the blend of pop, rock and country that she does, even if it's not something I'm always choosing to listen to. 3.5/5
This was the first CD I ever owned. That being said, it's been like 30 years since I've listened to it. It is a decent album and more varied than I remember. I do think some of why I like it is nostalgia, but I did enjoy it for whatever reason. 3.49/5
Someone mentioned in a review that she is the female Tom Petty. I can see that - it’s a pretty cool observation. However, in her own right, Sheryl Crow has an amazing, amazing voice, and she really makes every song sound interesting. The genre is not really for me, but there is something here that’s still interesting enough for me to keep listening. I do think that Solidify, The Na-Na Song and What Can I Do could be dropped from the tracklisting.
Pretty boring, unfortunately. Very solidly middle-of-the-road.
Μουσικη για road trip. Καποια αρκετα catchy κομματια και hooks. Μ αρεσε πολυ που θυμισε τα παιδικα μου χρονια μεσω του κομματιου στο Cars. Οκ καπως βαρετη μουσικη αλλα μαρεσε.
Long time since listened to this. Aged well still some good tracks
This one's going straight to my 'people pleasing' playlist. It's kind of catchy, but not too catchy; it's kind of interesting, but not too interesting; it's kind of sonically present, but not too sonically present. The kind of music anyone can appreciate, but few will actually love.
I enjoyed this. When I started singing along to can't cry anymore, it had me wondering if I only liked songs that I knew and if the emotion was really nostalgia. Strong Enough my favourite.
niet slecht... maar ook niet bijster goed..twijfel tss 2.5 en 3
Great singing, nothing more interesting to say
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 liked it more than I was expecting. Strong Enough is a pretty solid song and several of the non-radio releases were pretty good, too. Unlike a lot of other albums, most of the radio releases were weaker than some of the unreleased songs. 3.5*, but I can't round up.
This started off pretty generic and standard. It had almost a Tom Petty heartland rock vibe going on. Sheryl’s voice I also noticed is a little pitchy when going for certain parts and just needs just a little extra to nail some bits. Originally was gonna give this a 2.5/5 as it was pretty in offensive. However bumping it up too a 3/5 because the second half of the album picked up and had the best songs that fit her voice
Honestly not as great as I remember it being. All I Wanna Do is still a bop, but the rest is just… fine…
Fine. Not great.
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.
I can see why people like this but for me it's just kind of dull. Background music.
Not much to say, it's very easy listening but doesn't hold my attention too well. She has a decent voice but the songs are plain. Didn't know she did 'All I Wanna Do' though, that's a classic.
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.
Een typische jaren '90 zangeres. Weinig mis mee. Het doet ook niet zoveel. Prima hoor om bij te werken. Maar dat is het dan ook wel. De hit spring er trouwens wel behoorlijk uit. Wellicht de reden om dit op lijst te zetten. Aan de andere kant is die hit niet iets dat iedereen moet horen. Iedereen heeft die al 1000en keren gehoord.
In de lijn van Joni Mitchell adepten uit de jaren '90, komt deze country pop rock variant van Sheryl Crow. Het is duidelijk early 90s, want ik hoor nog wel wat typische jaren 80 Afrikaans klinkende holle drums op een aantal nummers terug. Ach, het is allemaal wel prima luistermuziek. All I Wanna Do is een beetje een oorwurm inmiddels. Maar verder kabbelt het rustig voort op de achtergrond terwijl ik aan het werk ben. Dan is het toch lekker dat het 90s is, dat blijft als een soort warm bad.
My favorite so far
My perception of Sheryl Crow has changed. I already knew "All I Want to Do". I wrongfully assumed it would be straight-ahead country with pop tendencies and wow, I sold Sheryl short. One way to get my attention right away is to name drop Aldous Huxley like in "Run, Baby, Run". From that moment I listened a little closer. the moody "Leaving Las Vegas" and the weird groove of "Solidify" completely shook my preconceived notions. Tuesday Night Music Club is a portrait of an artist fearlessly experimenting with her sound. It's not
Couple of big hits
Good vocals, fun album
Exceptional
I'd say Tuesday Night Music Club is not bad for a debut album. Sheryl Crow stays in the pop/rock genre mostly, but "Solidify" reminded me of Gwen Stefani of No Doubt and "We Do What We can" of a sultry, jazz night club singer. I thought it showed potential about her range, but at the same time I thought about how too much of the album was one note. But of course, being a singer songwriter, Crow's lyrics are powerful and descriptive. The lyrics, if nothing else, saved the album.
This album is by no means bad. But it is underwhelming. Now, I will be the first to admit that Sheryl Crow is iconic -- she's a big part of that 90s female singer-songwriter push that (in my mind) is so incredibly important. And this was her first album. But it was frankly just a bit lackluster. Not really a 3 for me, but more than a 2. I guess I'm letting my disappointment guide me on this one.
Mwah beetje saai
Similar style to Alanis Morissette whose music I like better. Some great songs on here especially for a debut, but lots of it felt less thought out to me. No One Said It Would Be Easy is an example of what I mean.
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)
It walks some fine line between average and annoying
This is the first time I have listened to an entire album of her and it wasn’t bad. The production style is very 90s sounding, meaning a bit too warm and a bit to clean, but the songs are winners.
Listened Before? Y Not too bad, just kind of poppy 90s stuff here. I do enjoy that she's from the tiniest of towns in Missouri and made it to the level of success that she did. This album won't turn any modern heads, but in it's time it was a big one. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: All I Wanna Do
This is a nice album with many songs that had heavy radio play at the time. However, to me it doesn’t stand out from hundreds of others.
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
Noooo my lengthy review got erased! I feel like a rube. Here were the main points: -I like lady singers and the 90s, but Sheryl Crow is too country for my liking. -A lot of these songs are about escape and running away, but I don't know if that's in reference to a particular life event in Crow canon (also when trying to find out via wiki, I learned that SC dated a co-musician (of the titular Tuesday Night Music Club) who died soon after this, in his 20s, and then later, Owen Wilson) -One of the songs sounded like "Pinch Me" from the Barenaked Ladies, but I forget which one, but I liked it -One of the songs had what I assumed was a deontic modal, but I forget which one, but I liked it -One of the songs had an interesting syntactic construction, perhaps the 3rd to last song, but I didn't particularly like it However, we shall not mourn what we have lost, we shall move ahead into the thrilling and will-aspirationally-remember-to-copypaste-my-reviews-into-my-notesapp-before-refreshing future!
Run Baby Run Leaving Las Vegas Strong Enough All I Wanna Do
I surprisingly didn't hate this album. It was a fine album, can't say I'd rave about it, but a decent listen.
Very much enjoyed!
I don't dislike Sheryl Crow but this album isn't something that I would ever seek out. There's something about her voice that pushes me a bit more than it pulls me and the hit single was overplayed/played out. 2.75/5
Great songwriter. This album had a lot of familiar songs and some new-to-me songs. Very different styles in each song. 4/5
maybe they meant to say "1000.3 albums you should listen to before you die and .7 skippable filler the almighty black reaper wont mind if you miss"
Aggressively mid. Kinda sounds like Fiona Apple with all the edges sanded down. It's pleasant, bright, but there's no bite. Best Track: Run Baby Run Worst Track: The Na-na Song
Best Song: All I wanna do Worst song: The Na-Na Song
Yet another album where I actively dislike the song I used to have in rotation because of the tracks I had to slog through to get to it. All I Wanna Do is a solid, jangle-y pop rock tune with a neat enough slide guitar riff to get by, but it cannot save the rest of this album and its horrendous pacing, instrumentation, and frankly, just plain lack of pleasure. Every song lags behind itself to ensure the album drags for as long as possible, and even when there is some glimmer of hope, it is immediately squashed so that Sheryl Crow can warble over some other snooze fest. Most of the album I was figuring it would scrape by doing nothing to truly anger me to the point of a one-star, but that final track would NOT END. There's a solid minute or two of her barely audibly singing the name of the song, and it is infuriating beyond belief, and completely ensured I never want to hear a song by Crow again, because if this is the best popular music had for singer-songwriters, I can't imagine what sums up the state of pop music any better in the early 90s.
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.
Decent album, but not fantastic. In retrospect it makes you wonder why practically half of the songs were released as singles. 2 or 3 good songs, but hey, they are not all that good. Perhaps the record company did not have other artists at the time….
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!
Not for me 👎
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 understand why this album made the list, but if I were to pick something from Sheryl Crow, I would have chosen her self-titled or The Globe Sessions. This album is okay. Some really good songs and some clunkers, but this album really seems to suffer from songs that are too long. Not that all songs should be 3 minutes or less, but there’s no need for some of these to drone on as long as they do. “Leaving Las Vegas,” “Strong Enough,” and “All I Wanna Do” are the best songs on the album. Most others are middling to bad. There’s something so quintessentially 90s about this that I love, though. But it could be better.
5/5
A collection of "sing the song title" songs of middling to pleasant quality.
Jeg lå faktisk på en 2'er det meste af vejen, for det lød fint nok selvom det er kedeligt og ikke hører hjemme på listen, men det der fake jazz nummer og 2 minutters "I shall.. believe...." der lukker det sidste nummer irriterede mig simpelthen for meget. Hvad laver du her Sheryl!! #hatergruppen
Måske lidt harsh, for den her plade gør godt nok INGEN fortræd, men kæft det var kedeligt
Decent songs, but this is so boring :(
I think Sheryl is boom or bust. Generally a big fan of the hits but there are some bad ones in here. Also, it occured to me "All I Wanna Do" is its very similar to Stuck In The Middle With You. Pro-Sheryl, but this one had too many weak songs.
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.
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
Uhhhh this was not good. Why do people like Sheryl Crow? Not for me
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.
good debut
It’s. Favorite of mine
The singles definitely stand out on this one.
Its a good album with some decent songs and and all timer in All I Wanna do. For all her talents, I find her irritating.
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
Many songs are repetitive and I felt bored at times. A couple of the songs are ok however. I will consider this a high 2/5
Fine. Yowzers, that one song was freakin’ everywhere for a year or so.
She can write a song that I’ll begrudgingly call catchy (All I Wanna Do), a song I legitimately love (Strong Enough) and a song that is embarrassing for everyone (The Na-Na Song.) I can take or leave the rest.
It wasn’t greeeeeat, and The Na-Na Song got this a 2. This sounds like it’s time, and I like All I Wanna do (and her later hits), but this filler just did not do it for me.
Not my thing
Sheryl got some funk
The Na-Na Song is a strange rip from REM and the Beatles. The rest is kind of generic. Almost like she was throwing stuff against the wall just to see what stuck.
I quite enjoy country and Sheryl, but wasn't too impressed with this record. Middle of the road, generic country for most of the tracks, and one big hit (All I wanna do) with a nice groove but nothing amazing.
Bit of a pop/country crossover but interesting enough.
Sheryl Crow is my waifu
There are some absolutely great songs on this album - along with some filler. Overall it's definitely worth a listen, and was enjoyable all the way through, even the forgettable tracks.
Not bad, not bad. She's not the greatest singer, but she does well with what she has. I wouldn't mind hearing this one again.
This is more interesting than I expected but I still wouldn’t say that I love it.
Sheryl was kind of cooking on the self-titled and The Globe Sessions, but there's not much to this one. Never cared much for the singles, album tracks don't add much either. 2.5/5
Much better than I expected
I've always had a fond spot in my heart for this album. Full of great songs and easy to listen to, this album is very good.
What? No, please no. Just fuck off, the absolute worst of overplayed 90s ear worms Sheryl Crow is. If you're going to be nostalgic about the 90s, be nostalgic about Beck, Lauryn Hill, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Sinead O'Connor, Whitney Houston, Nirvana, Notorious or so so so many others.
Jesus christ.
Not a big fan of this 90s blues chill vibe that most of the album has, but she is a great singer
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, but also found some parts of it a bit meh. Overall, it tickled the nostalgia in me and just a few notes into the first song I was instantly back in my kid body in the 90s.
Not really my jam, but I enjoyed it more than I expected to.
It was ok, it started out pretty strong but got a little worse as it kept going.
I need to be in the right mood to listen to this type of music but I do enjoy a bit of Sheryl Crow and am very fortunate to have seen her live at Glastonbury 2019. This is a really great album with many good songs and for me the best track is Leaving Vegas.
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
Honestly, this was just a pretty bad album. For the most part it wasn't in-your-face please-turn-it-off painful, but it really wasn't good. At all. I went into this with an open mind, no specific expectations. And I did enjoy the first track and thought this album has promise. But it went downhill fast. Everything after the first track seemed uninspired, uninteresting, musically plain and strikingly unambitious. It wasn't outright horrendous (with the exception of The Na-Na Song being pure garbage). But without any redeeming qualities, I fail to understand why anyone bought this - let alone why it seems worth even talking about before I die.
actually enjoyed this, nice change to get some slower softer music
Uninteresting
To quote my favorite Mel Brooks movie : “Piss boy, bring the bucket!”.
To quote one of my favourite Mel Brooks movies…’Nice. Not thrilling. But Nice.’
It was ok, but I feel like this is the soundtrack to any supermarket, which is a shame. But the songs were ok, nothing really left me impressed.
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)
Interestingly enough, it *is* Tuesday. Tuesday Night Music Club is better than its representative singles would lead one to believe. The deep cuts are very good. I Shall Believe, for example, is very good.
Couple of huge tunes, but a LOT of filler on this one. Ok, but not great by any stretch of the imagination.
I love some of Sheryl's stuff. This was rather slim pickings though, and at tines a bit cringily 90s.
it’s decent, but ultimately nothing i’ll return to
Not my sort of music, but it's pretty inoffensive.
This was far more interesting than I anticipated it would be. I enjoyed the back half of the album a bit more than the front. Not a disappointment, but nothing that seemed exceptionally special.
questa mi piace.. un 4 ci sta tutto!
Gosh, I tried my best to be open-minded as I quickly revisited this album, which starts with a couple of very famous moody cuts, "Run, Baby, Run" and "Leaving Las Vegas", before losing its way real quick. Once those two good songs are in the rearview mirror, key shortcomings indeed prevent me from including this admittedly famous LP in my own list: first, Sheryl Crow's grating vocal performance on a lot of those tracks (not "bad" as in "endearingly-frail-and-emotional-in-a-Lucinda-Williams-sort-of-way", but just... "bad-bad") ; and then, there's the subpar nature of a lot of the compositions, leaving a foul taste in your mouth. The second part of side one has both shortcomings in spades on the *same damn songs*, and it's so awful that the whole thing almost becomes comical. The barebones, delicate "No One Said It Would Be Easy", and the decent "What I Can Do For You" at the start of side two, fortunately end that bad streak, and given that they're followed but the lively, insanely stellar hit "All I Wanna Do", you might feel like you can forgive the "critics" who overrated *Tuesday Night Music Club* when it was released. The thing is, we head towards tedious "meh" territory right after that. "We Do What We Can" is a film noir pastiche that hovers by without leaving much of an impression, whether good or bad (and what's with this obsession with the verb "do" for three titles in a row, by the way? Couldn't Sheryl "do" something else for her lyrics? Pretty ironic flaw here.). And the same goes for the overlong closer "I Shall Believe": not much interesting happens. To put it in a nutshell, a pretty decent start for this LP, then a full disaster, then good to great tunes, and then a borefest. There are at least 40 albums released in 1993 that are better than this one (see the list after this review). Better as in "more groundbreaking", "more intense", "more fun", "more sophisticated", "more relevant", "more emotional", "more genuine", "more spontaneous", "better composed", "better written", "better performed" and so on... For chrissake, get a grip, you "critics"! Your job is not to pander for the lowest common denominator up to the point when you sacrifice quality over the predictable popularity of an artist, just because they have a couple of promising singles up their sleeves. If anything, retrospective reviews of this thing should be harsher. Now we have the hindsight to realize there was nothing extraordinary about this album overall, don't we? 2/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums. 7/10 for more general purposes (5 + 2) Number of albums left to review: 55 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 408 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 235 Albums from the list I won't include in mine: 303 (including this one) ---- List of my 40 favourite 1993 albums as a reference point: Nirvana - In Utero Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) The Breeders - Last Splash PJ Harvey - Rid Of Me Fugazi - In On The Kill Taker The Posies - Frosting On The Beater Björk - Debut A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders Liz Phair - Exile In Guyville Frank Black - Frank Black Les Thugs - As Happy As Possible Girls Against Boys - Venus Luxure N*1 Baby Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream Cypress Hill - Black Sunday Dead Can Dance - Into The Labyrinth Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle Slowdive - Souvlaki Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy Morphine - Cure For Pain Yo La Tengo - Painful Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See Dinosaur Jr. - Where You Been Tindersticks - Tindersticks The Auteurs - New Wave Sebadoh - Bubble And Scrape Souls Of Mischief - '93 'til Infinity Suede - Suede The Divine Comedy - Liberation De La Soul - Bulhoone Mindstate U2 - Zooropa Neil Young - Unplugged Tool - Undertow Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works '85-'92 Digable Planets - Reachin' (A Refutation Of Time And Place) Depeche Mode - Songs Of Faith And Devotion The Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen Kate Bush - The Red Shoes Radiohead - Pablo Honey Us3 - Hand On The Torch Ace Of Base - The Sign Yep, Ace Of Base made a slightly better album than Sheryl Crow that year.

Kivaa country alt pop rokkia. Samaa luokkaa kuin muutkin tälläiset 90-luvun naisvetoiset rock bändit. Parhaat: Run Baby Run, Strong Enough
Another one of those albums where I knew the hits form back then but never made the effort to listen to the rest. And again, in this instance, that seems to have been the correct strategy. The songs I didn't know are pleasant enough but a bit boring and not as good as the hits and the hits you hear on the radio enough to not have to bother with the album.
Her voice is grating and the songs are boring
What I can do for you should have been the breakout single. All I wanna do remains a disaffected anthem, the rest of the album has way too much of the worst instrument: steel guitar.
Crow has a unique perspective (you could imagine her being on Thelma and Louise's car stereo), and I really love "All I Wanna Do." But it's a high point on this album, and, holy crap, the journey there is meandering and boring.
"This ain't no disco, It ain't country club either. This is LA". I couldn't care less. She is way too close to country club. And way too far from disco for my taste. Could've lived without listening to this one...
I dont think this aged well. Theres some really not good stuff here. There are some gems but not enough to land a 3. Close, but still in the 2s
I think, like many people, I didn't fully know what to expect with this. I walk away with the impression of, "white woman with a surprisingly deep record collection". I've never had an anti-Sheryl Crow bias, but I've never really liked her either: I'd say "Soak Up The Sun" is a great track and I can leave it there. I was surprised that quite a few songs sound like they could be Tom Petty covers on here, and there are a few that even branch out into heavier country or blues leanings, and even one jazz-adjacent track. It's not bad, and it's definitely not entirely my thing, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I didn't enjoy it a little. Favorite tracks: "Can't Cry Anymore", "No One Said It Would Be Easy"
unfortunately was assigned this one on a thursday night
Not my style, but I love the Cars song. Which is not on it.
It was lame.
Strong enough for a 4.
pjesmuljci
One really great track make this a 3 instead of a 1
secondo me spacca abbastanza
piacevole, ma non molto di più. lei però ha una gran bella voce.
An album that just trundles along without any real high points.
Extremely 90s
I love Sheryl but this just wasn’t a great collection of songs. As an aside “Neva Eva” by Trillville coming on directly afterwards was comically jarring.
Sheryl Crow is a much more interesting artist than any song of hers best to death by commercials for resorts and this album was pleasantly surprising
So many hits from the 90s that I love and additionally some other very interesting almost spoken word tracks that were deeper than anything I expected from the singer of Soak Up the Sun
To me, Sheryl Crow evokes bland, adult-contemporary radio and grocery store music. Upon listening, I found her voice to be borderline unpleasant at times, her delivery Dylan-esque. That said, the instrumentals and songwriting were good and gave a laid-back 90s folk-pop summer vibe. I imagine if another artist (such as the Dixie Chicks) were given these songs they would be more effective.
3.7 stars rounded up
Certified fun time
I like that the early to mid-90s really brought out a whole slew of strong female musicians. It seems like up until then the entire music industry was basically a boys club. It has gotten better since then but up until the 90s there were really only a handful of successful female bands/musicians. I have to give Sheryl Crow credit for being on the forefront of that movement. Although I don't really care for her music much, I can respect her for what she has contributed to music over the years. Her songs are catchy as hell. And this album at least is recorded well and very balanced. It is kind of dated and generic maybe but it's better than a lot of other albums from this time. 3/5
Maybe I just heard way too much Sheryl Crow in the 90's but there was nothing remarkable about this album
A nice variety of songs. Realized I had never really listened to Sheryl Crow past radio play. Enjoyed the album but tended to fade into the background.
All I Wanna Do is among my favorite pop songs ever written. Blissful and carefree, completely propulsive and catchy as hell. Otherwise, this is a fine enough album with a few other standouts. Strong Enough, being another solid single. And We Do What We Can being an acid-jazz style ballad that is quite nice. Solidify is a groovy little number with some of the better instrumentation on the album. Enjoyable, but ultimately not something that I will come back for (other than All I Wanna Do). 3 / 5.
Sheryl ain't my jam. 2.5 stars
This is a pleasant pop album with a country/folky twang. I like Sheryl's voice on top of that so this album was just a solidly good listen. She also played at Bonnaroo when I went and, even though I didn't see her, she reminds me of that festival.
Extremely catchy 90's pop country which I could not help but catch myself bopping along to
Her voice kinda reminds me of Gwen Stefani at certain points. Enjoyable enough but the only real standout is All I wanna Do. Happy I went to Matt & Kim instead of her last year. Just not my usual jam. Low 3.
One of my favourite musical arguements is that U2 had the career that Echo and the Bunnymen should have had. So here then, Sheryl Crow has had the career and sales Aimee Mann should have had. Other than that I can't find much to say about this.
I remember a fair amount of the material here from when I still listened to the radio in the 90s... some decent songs here, but not particularly interesting.
Great voice, strong songwriting, nice mix of styles. “All I Wanna Do” is a classic from my childhood. Solid singer-songwriter album.
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.
not me, too much soul
I wish more of these songs were played back in the day than just her mega hit. This was surprisingly nice.
A very much overlooked album (by me at least). This was a really enjoyable listen, and I'd forgotten just how many songs off this album I like.
If the Tuesday night music club were a real thing, I'd find a way to be there almost all the time. Sheryl Crow was already feeling like a veteran somehow when she put this record out as she juggles a variety of sounds and emotions that could pack a punch as well as her contemporaries, like-minded or otherwise, could muster. There are plenty of gems strewn across this deluxe edition, more so on the second disc which provides more of a loose and rambunctious vibe with covers of Eric Carmen and Led Zeppelin songs to match. Here is a little bit of something for everyone. Favorites: Run, Baby, Run, Leaving Las Vegas, Can't Cry Anymore, Solidify, The Na-Na Song, No One Said It Would Be Easy, All I Wanna Do, Coffee Shop, Killer Life, Essential Trip of Hereness, Reach Around Jerk, Volvo Cowgirl 99.
This album actually feels as exciting as a Tuesday night could be. Which doesn’t mean a total snooze fest but, it’s also Tuesday night.
I get it, this is a blazing promotion for folk-infused pallets of American tall-boy lagers. That is all. No 'but'. The last few tracks were nice.
Because of course!
Powerful album with provocative lyrics from personal to political without holding punches along the way. Extremely varied styles from folk/songwriter, pop, jazz, r&b and more. Very apt closing of I will be me. 4.6
Classic album. So many songs I forgot about. Not my usual style but very enjoyable album
Very pleasant listen with some bops on it.
Overproduced waste of bandwidth. This album has all the edge of a billiard ball. The vocals have the grit of a piece of wax paper. The lyrics have the depth of a kiddie pool. 1 totally rebellious beer at noon on a Tuesday out of 5 🍺
местами очень тяжело слушать, женщина которая орёт. про этом музыкально приятная и некоторые песни интересные
Wow, what a voice for such mid music.
Yeah, it's fine. I was just never a huge fan.
Great Songs.
I've never listened to this record before, and I probably won't again. I don't really get its appeal. To me, it sounds like an album from a third-rate local band that won studio time with a talented producer. And Sheryl Crow can't sing! I don't understand how people could listen to "Leaving Las Vegas," with its tortured vocals, over and over again on 90s radio. I'm old enough to remember it. Most people can't sing, and that's ok. I'm a huge fan of early Smashing Pumpkins, for example, and Billy Corgan famously can't sing very well. But he uses his voice in a fitting way. Sheryl Crow can't sing but tries to sing like someone who can. I will grant that some of the harmonies are pretty good. I love the brief "lie to me" moment on "Strong Enough," and the harmony on the chorus of "No One Said It Would Be Easy" is nice too. And, ok, the last two songs "We Do What We Can" and "I Shall Believe" are pretty. I still don't like the lyrics, and Crow's vocals are deceptively good except for the parts where they definitely aren't. This record isn't so much a bad record as one that is solidly not good. The music isn't awful (other than the singing). And it sucks too. The album actually sounds like the people who made it worked really hard. The writing and singing seem earnest. I just don't think it's very good. There is some solid studio work from the musicians, but it's all an exercise in super safe paint by numbers. This album is so boring and stale that I can't even hate it properly. A quick Google search reveals that the album has sold more than seven million copies, so, clearly, Tuesday Night Music Club had some sort of mass appeal. It won three Grammys including Best Album and (gasp and shock!) Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. I just don't get it. Two stars.
Great album, you can see how she got so big
Debut album, ok singer/songwriter affair
Better than average
Greta debut album. Saw her play this whole album opening for Blues Traveler at the Boathouse in October 1994. Good times. 3.5
