Reviews (page 5 of 8)
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.
A wholesome brand of country pop
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.
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
Good album. Musically, I thought the album was pretty good. Interesting lyrics. For me, the vocals were either spot on or absolutely dreadful.
3.4 - Yeah it was pretty chill, but nothing mind blowing
Pretty much fine album. Did not offend me even slightly. 3.3/5
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
Easy listening for the grocery store or dentist office. Has potential but mostly falls flat
Fine
+1 for use of guitar No One Said It Would Be Easy has a great riff
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.
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
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!😀)
Liked Leaving Las Vegas and Strong Enough.
Kinda boring
I feel like the High School Music songwriters drew most of their inspiration from this album.
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.
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
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
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.
Boring but not bad
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 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.
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 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 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
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.
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.
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.
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!
I surprisingly didn't hate this album. It was a fine album, can't say I'd rave about it, but a decent listen.
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
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.
A collection of "sing the song title" songs of middling to pleasant quality.
good debut
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.
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.
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.
This is more interesting than I expected but I still wouldn’t say that I love it.
Much better than I expected
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.
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.
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.
Kivaa country alt pop rokkia. Samaa luokkaa kuin muutkin tälläiset 90-luvun naisvetoiset rock bändit. Parhaat: Run Baby Run, Strong Enough
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Classic album. So many songs I forgot about. Not my usual style but very enjoyable album
Yeah, it's fine. I was just never a huge fan.
Debut album, ok singer/songwriter affair
Greta debut album. Saw her play this whole album opening for Blues Traveler at the Boathouse in October 1994. Good times. 3.5
This is her best effort - good album, I liked it when it came out but it's better now : )
I actually had never listened to this album from start to finish and it is really enjoyable and highly listenable. I have a newfound appreciation for Sheryl Crow.
It's been a while, but I instantly reconnected with her soulful voice. It's a good album, and there are a couple of standouts.
Many of these long unheard songs sound pretty good after going a long time unheard. And the never heard songs would have been better left that way.
I mean a heartbroken woman and a guitar, name a more iconic duo.
Lots to love about this actually! Run, Baby, Run reminds me of something that you’d see on These Days by Bon Jovi! Cool vibes :)
Really liked the first song “Run, Baby, Run”, but then it went downhill for me. “All I Wanna Do” is a good song but I’m so tired of it and never care to hear it again. Didn’t hate this album but many songs are boring.
Pop meets Lucinda Williams here, and it’s doesn’t really miss. Hit after hit charges at you while she endears herself to the listener with fun and relatable lyrics. The subterranean homesick blues-inspired “The Na-Na Song” is the fun middle child of the album.
I genuinely sighed when this album showed up, for two reasons. One, I only know sheryl crow as the woman that makes music for middle aged mothers that think being a shitty person is a personality trait because they're from the deep south... And two, I just finished listening to ...And Justice For all by metallica so I knew it was gonna be a bit of a culture shock. Like being given a glass of milk after skulling five shots of fireball. Now the opener surprised me, Run, Baby, Run blew all my expectations out of the water. Fantastic production, and that hook on the chorus just elevates me. But pretty quickly, my expectations turned out to be true but not quite for the reasons I thought. Leaving Las Vegas is alright, but it sounds nothing like the first song. It takes a bit more a triphop route. Then Strong Enough throws us into a more acoustic low-key type of energy. Then Cant Cry anymore gives us this half assed pop country song. So at this point I'm starting to see a pattern, or lack there of. These are fine songs on their own. As an album, this feels like multiple sets of studio sessions with no beat or connection from any song to the next. And again, this album is completely fine! It's listenable, it's walmart store music, but I just don't understand why this album would be considered great in any sense. Lyrically middling.
Very 90's pop, but I still like some of the songs.
When I saw this on the list, I figured it would be "all I wanna do" and a bunch of filler. I completely forgot the other singles of this album that got radio play, "leaving Las Vegas", "can't cry anymore", and "strong enough". Solid music for a debut album. A bit rock, a bit country, with some blues thrown in. It was a pretty good album
Pretty good, but a little to pop for my tastes.
Strong Enough All I Wanna Do I Shall Believe
It was impossible to escape this album in the 90's. Sheryl along with Shania Twain ruled the pop country rock genre. That being said it's just not my music, but it's good for what it is.
I remember liking this a lot more when it came out. It’s aged into being a standard adult contempo record. It’s good, just not special.
A mixed bag. Some of the singles hold up.
Not a bad album at all. Some of the songs get a bit repetitive. Perfectly fine for a car ride.
The songs that pop *really* pop. The songs that don't *really* don't. Some genuinely great tunes in here, though.
She listened to a lot of Anthony Kiedis before writing the Na-Na Song. The funky Solidify should be a non-sequitur here but still works. Her almost laconic delivery of seemingly stream of conciousness lyrics carries the weaker songs. Ultimately more a jack of all trades than master of one, in the sense that nothing is extraordinary, but comes together as geater than sum of its parts.
On est en 1993. Le Grunge avait tout défoncé sur son passage. Kurt Cobain hurlait sa douleur à la face d'une génération qui ne demandait que ça, Eddie Vedder faisait du trapèze sur les structures métalliques des festivals, et des hordes de kids en chemises de bûcheron trouées achetaient tout ce qui venait de Seattle avec une guitare saturée. C'était crade, c'était puissant, c'était VIVANT. Ça sentait la bière renversée, la sueur et le désespoir adolescent. Et puis, au milieu de tout ce bordel ambiant, déboule Sheryl Crow. Soyons clairs, Sheryl Crow, en 1993, n'avait rien à foutre là. Elle était l'antithèse de tout ce qui nous faisait vibrer. Propre sur elle, professionnelle jusqu'au bout des ongles, avec un CV long comme le bras qui ferait pâlir d'envie n'importe quel intermittent du spectacle. Choriste de luxe pour du beau linge : Michael Jackson, Sting, Stevie Wonder… La meuf avait côtoyé le gratin, mais toujours un pas derrière, dans l'ombre, à faire "Ouh-ouh" et "Aaaah" au bon moment. Respect pour la carrière, bien sûr. Mais pour l'âme rock'n'roll, on repassera. Alors, quand "Tuesday Night Music Club" a commencé à pointer le bout de son nez, je n'y ai pas prêté l'oreille une seule seconde. Pour moi, c'était un produit. Un truc calibré pour les ondes, pour les supermarchés, pour les autoradios des monospaces. La pochette elle-même, avec ses allures de photo de classe d'une bande de potes un peu artistes, transpirait la normalité. Pas de danger, pas de folie, pas de "fuck you". Juste des gens compétents faisant de la musique compétente. Et c'est là tout le problème, et toute la (relative) réussite de cet album. Car il faut lui reconnaître ça, à ce disque : il est terriblement efficace. C'est le résultat d'un "club" de musiciens, une sorte de think tank de la pop-rock FM qui se réunissait le mardi soir pour jammer. De ces sessions est né un son. Un son américain jusqu'à la moelle, un mélange de folk, de country, de pop et de rock léger, le tout enrobé dans une production si lisse, si parfaite, qu'on pourrait y voir son reflet. C'est le genre de disque qui ne prend aucun risque, mais qui réussit tout ce qu'il entreprend. Chaque note est à sa place, chaque refrain est pensé pour être chanté sous la douche, chaque mélodie est conçue pour ne heurter aucune sensibilité. Et puis il y a eu "All I Wanna Do". Le raz-de-marée. Le tube planétaire qui a transformé Sheryl Crow, l'ex-choriste, en superstar. La chanson était partout. Partout. Impossible d'allumer une radio, une télé, d'entrer dans un bar sans l'entendre. "All I wanna do is have some fun". Sérieusement ? Nous, on écoutait "Rape Me", et elle, elle voulait juste "s'amuser" ? Le décalage était total. C'était la bande-son parfaite pour une Amérique qui voulait tourner la page du nihilisme grunge et se remettre à croire en des jours meilleurs, en des amours simples et en des après-midis ensoleillés. C'est une revanche, c'est certain. Passer de l'ombre à une lumière si aveuglante, c'est une sacrée performance. Sheryl Crow a prouvé qu'elle était bien plus qu'une voix d'appoint. C'est une songwriteuse accomplie, une musicienne hors pair et une interprète charismatique. "Tuesday Night Music Club" est la preuve irréfutable de son talent. Mais voilà, trente ans plus tard, en le réécoutant pour ce projet un peu fou, mon sentiment n'a pas vraiment changé. J'ai vieilli, je suis moins catégorique, mais le constat reste le même. C'est un album plaisant. Agréable. Sympathique. C'est le disque que tu mets quand tes beaux-parents viennent dîner. Il ne dérangera jamais. Il ne surprendra jamais. Il ne te retournera jamais les tripes. On l'écoute, on hoche la tête, on se dit "c'est pas mal foutu", et cinq minutes après, on l'a oublié. Il manque l'essentiel : l'âme, la fêlure, le danger. Il manque la raison pour laquelle on tombe amoureux d'un disque, cette étincelle d'imprévisibilité qui fait qu'on y revient encore et encore, des années après. "Tuesday Night Music Club" est un jalon incontournable de son époque, une borne kilométrique sur l'autoroute de la pop des années 90. Mais c'est le genre de borne qu'on voit du coin de l'oeil en filant à 130 km/h vers des destinations plus excitantes. Un 3/5, c'est presque généreux. C'est la note de la compétence sans le génie. La note du travail bien fait. C'est l'album du "peut mieux faire", mais qui, au fond, n'a jamais eu l'intention de faire mieux, juste de faire ce qu'il fallait pour plaire au plus grand nombre. Et de ce point de vue, c'est une réussite totale. Une réussite un peu chiante, mais une réussite quand même.
3-4
2.5
Competent is how I would describe this. It's completely middle of the road and inoffensive. It's just there. And that's completely fine.
Rocky songwriting from 1993.
A fun poppy lil album.
Mom and elementary school music for me. Not really my thing
It's an album I know so well that really showed up a lot in my freshman year of college. So much still to love here. She inspired me and raised me up, and to this day, I still sometimes listen to certain songs on this album. It's a good one.
"All I Wanna Do" and "Strong Enough" made this album absolutely huge. And it's clear why - they are some of the most radio-friendly broadly appealing songs I can think of. But they are vanilla pop rock, and even the catchiest pop rock radio hits of all time only go so far.
It got an extra star for nostalgia because my friend used to put this on in her car all. The. Time. Strong Enough is solid and the song about an alcoholic sitting around drinking with strangers all day was different and fun despite it actually being quite sad. But I don’t like listening to people I can sing better than and listening to her wail leaving Las Vegas makes me want to twist a knife in my ear holes.
I really like No One Said It Would Be Easy a lot. Low key best song on the album. I wish there were more songs of that quality.
Gritty but gorgeous lyrical prowess by Crow
I respect the hell out of Sheryl Crow, but most of this album affected me like a fugue state. The disco-pastiche of "Solidify" stirred me from my waking slumber because I couldn't believe how much it didn't work. "The Na-Na Song" also shouldn't work, but I was charmed by it despite myself. Why this Crow album? Just say you wanted us to hear "Strong Enough" and go. I liked my highlights too much to give this less than three stars, but I don't expect to revisit this album again. Highlights: Strong Enough (an all-timer), The Na-Na Song, No One Said It Would Be Easy, I Shall Believe
Some great songs but had to skip a couple.
This was a good chill album. Liked it when it came out.
It turns out that I know a few Sheryl Crow songs. I wouldn’t have been able to name any just off her name before, but Run Baby Run and All I Wanna Do stand out as the better tracks here. This is pretty easy listening pop rock with a dash of country thrown in for good measure. Country can often be a little abrasive to me, but this didn’t overdo it. Overall, this was pleasant. It wasn’t mind blowing, but I had a nice time listening to it.
Has some good songs. “Leaving Las Vegas” is her best song. Kind of loses steam towards the end. Overall was enjoyable. 3/5 Might listen to a couple songs again.
2.5/5. Meh, not unenjoyable, but not very memorable.
Catchy story telling pop rock. Interestingly wide songwriting credits, so perhaps more of a band effort and less autobiographical than it would seem. Rating: 3.5/5 Playlist track: All I Wanna Do Date listened: 10/06/24
Some funky tracks, 1/2 even stand out. Low 3.
Enjoyable. I like the variety but that's also a weakness. This album has a scattershot approach with two or three songs feeling out of place. My favorites being the mellower cuts.
Nice to hear this again; I listened to it quite a bit when it was first out. I never found it a terribly exciting album; it was more just something easy to stick on in the car. (I seem to remember that boyf - now husband - and I were into anything that made us think about driving across the vast expanse of the USA, because we really liked Thelma and Louise, and this fitted that vibe.) It turns out I've forgotten quite a few of the songs, oops. Positives: I love her voice, and the songs are decent. She's actually released a couple of singles that I love, but neither of them is on this album. A solid 6 out of 10.
Enjoyed it as background, probably need to listen again and quite a few tracks will bear repeated listening, I reckon. But is it a classic? Probably not.
Not her best album. Enjoyed listening to it.
honestly not bad, better than expected. Do i want to listen to it everyday? nah. Would i bash my brains out if it was stuck in my CD player? definitely. But there's only a select handful of albums that wouldnt elicit that response. Id give it 3.5 stars if i could but dont quite feel like it deserves 4 so 3 it is
I always really felt the lyrics of the songs, but it never really felt like she believed what she was singing. It's one of those albums that had hit after hit on the radio at a certain point, then it was gone.
Ya know not bad tbh. I hope a Sheryl Crow fan group is called a murder
It's alright but not for me.
I like Sheryl Crow songs. The vibe of the full album is not for me, but most of the songs have individual appeal. For me, hearing them periodically on my wife's satellite radio in her car is enough.
Cant let gang know i fw this
It starts really strong, definitely the first 3 tracks are automatically a win, however, nearly all the rest is filler. All gentle pleasant pop, with an occasional jazzy adult contemporary vibe, but unfortunately it all pretty much blends together.
it opens with a country banger, but after that, there's a mix of genres and influences I wasn't really expecting. I only enjoyed a few songs really.
While many people expect this to be full of pop rock radio anthems, there's a deeper blues side that is intriguing. Still didn't land with me, but it's worth a listen.
Good.
A good mix of pop, rock and smooth jazz - just a like a beer buzz in the morning. Sheryl Crow seems to lack any strength to her vocals.
Tuesday Night Music Club is actually Sheryl Crow's, "second album" as her debut was rejected by the music label. I have a bootleg copy of that recording and it's terrible, it has a horrible over-produced glossy sound and the songs ring hollow and uninspired. It's amazing what better production, better songs and a make-over image can do, as TNMC presents Crow is a fun loving, casual fashioned, blues-rock artist. The songs are an improvement and with the "hit", All I Wanna Do sets the blueprint for the course of Crow's career. Listening now, it's still OK, but the rest of the album isn't as good as I remember. Most of the record is quite middle-of-the-road sounding and doesn't feel as authentic as we are led to feel. There is still a lot of filler (as most of her albums are) and I must admit I've been lukewarm to her music since, with the odd interesting song, but it's just too mainstream and commercial sounding to care.
I really liked the first and last songs, bit other than that, this album was pretty meh
This is serviceable, but doesn't fully connect. A little too rootsy for much of its running, needs a little more energy or maybe a little more grit. It's clear Sheryl Crow showed up on the scene as a fully formed songwriter, her talents there evident, however I think her vocal performances would get stronger with subsequent releases. I don't know, I guess I wish this was either more songs like "All I Wanna Do" that have a little boogie in them, or that this went like full country and actually [i]rocked[/i] a little bit. Promising debut, properly rated.
Good album! Only knew one song. Not interesting /good enough for me to be on this list but enjoyed listening to it.
Pretty good
One killer song, the bit hit, for for the rest: nothing wrong with album, but also nothing special. Guess just too Middle of the Road American music for me.
I have no complaints about this album. A couple songs stood out I remember hearing a million times on the radio.
Sheryl Crow is one of those musicians that I never understood the massive following for. Is her music bad? No. But it does all sound meh.
If the algorithm can sort out a Christmas album for Christmas day, how come it can't manage to put this on a Tuesday? Anyway. This was... okay, occasionally decent, but consistently unchallenging. At its best when poppy. 2.5 🌟
solid pop album
It's OK.
Lo recordaba de cuando se convirtió en un hit, incluyendo su videoclip. Me han gustado: Leaving Las Vegas, Can't cry anymore y All I wanna do. También me han entrado ganas de volver a su siguiente disco. Interesante debut y signo de una época con muchas cosas de este estilo country-rock-pop que parece que vuelve en 2024.
Not bad but nothing super interesting about it. Songwriting is pretty underwhelming. You can tell it’s all pro players but feels pretty uninspired and not an ounce of edge or darkness.
Heaps of potential but feels like it's been too tightly squeezed and commercialised
I preferred the album which came after this but it was an easy listen.
Best Song: All I Wanna Do. The sheer dorkiness of the storytelling on display here is nothing if not endearing. And the chorus is nice and catchy too. Worst Song: The Na-Na Song. It felt like she was going for something quirky here, and honestly just never quite reached it. Overall: A pleasant collection. I particularly liked the two stripped down tracks that close out the album. Quiet and contemplative without being melancholy. Springtime music.
I used to have her second album which I much prefer but there was some really interesting sounds on here. Some of the production sounds like those Ibiza trance chillout albums. Some crap like the The Na-Na Song but All I Wanna Do and a few others are good listens
Pop, RnB, 1993 -> 3
This album was a great mix of rock, pop, country, and funk. I was familiar with a couple of songs but haven’t listed to Sheryl Crow beyond what I’ve absorbed through radio. The music itself was well produced and well arranged. I found Crow’s voice a bit uneven throughout though I still enjoyed the album.
- a lot more slower songs than I expected but still good - some classics on here - Sheryl Crow brings great vibes
4 Love sheryl crow But this aint too good 3
This whole album is fine. Very much of the time in its attempt to be hip, which has obviously aged in the past 30 years. The single Strong Enough sits well with the other songs, but the clear winner is the breakout single. It's cliche to say but in this case it really does dwarf the rest of the album.
Some solid songs but they only make up half the album. The other half was forgettable.
I had this cd when I was younger but don’t remember a lot of these songs now. They all seemed really genuine. There were lots of different styles too which were cool. Decent album.
Ok - wouldn’t buy the album
Good
This ain't no disco, its Sheryl Crow... She's very hit or miss, but when she hits its amazing and there's a few tracks on this album that vibe just right. I'd argue the first 4 tracks are ("Run Baby Run", "Leaving Las Vegas", "Strong Enough" and "Can't Cry Anymore") amongst the strongest start to an album at any time, add in the ubiquitous "All I Wanna Do" and that's pretty much half the album accounted for. So basically the singles bopped, the rest is ok but don't quite rise to the same level. Solid middle 3 star album, a good way to pass 50 or so minutes.
C’était correct
This is an excellent album which, in my opinion, mostly highlights just making music very well. It is like finding a really well-written sonnet that hits the spot within its genre. Nothing groundbreaking going on--no experimentation or pushing of limits. Just solid song-writing, playing, and creation of an album.
Zwei gute Lieder, der Rest ist Durchschnitt
Yep Iv give it to Sheryl this is a catch 90’s rock album, deserves to be listened to before you die. Not one I’ll be adding to my frequent rotation though.
Mid. Nice groove on Solidify.
Couple hits but otherwise just okay.
I was thinking the album was better than I remembered, pretty good really, until spotify moved on to playing me some female driven songs that are genuinely great. So I'm going to stick to "pretty good".
Muito melhor do que eu esperava!
Way better than anticipated
3/5 good but not enough
It was fine, just not really my thing. Nothing really stood out to me as bad or really won me over though
Sheryl blends a good mix of genres into pop songs
BORING
B: I really thought this would be better. E: I'm kinda "meh" on Sheryl Crow, she's got some good tunes, but there's something about her I just don't really like.
Moments of annoyance, moments of not being annoyed. All in all, it’s fine? I guess?
Over-produced 90s pop rock, if that’s your thing…
High three, but not quite a four. There’s a lot of variety in this album, and Crow’s voice is very nice, but the quality between songs can rise and fall a fair bit. Overall pretty good on average.
Cars song lady.
Not bad. Easy listening. I give it 3 stars.
I remembered liking this more. Looking back, it’s a few good songs and a good sound, though the drums sound very dated to me.
Has some good songs but has a lot of boring filler. Sheryl Crow is a very serviceable singer but doesn't have a blow you away type of skill. The best parts of this album are when it ditches the poppier elements in favour of the more blues, country and occasional jazzy parts.
As a kid I used to hate All I Wanna Do bc I thought it was just rambling. I have since become enlightened. There are some good songs on here but a bunch of them didn’t make too big of an impression on me. She really had her Joker Moment on Leaving Las Vegas and by that I of course mean the song sounds like Joker by Steve Miller Band but it totally works
More mom's Toyota Corolla core eh dom? This album had some great moments, like that Las Vegas song, but it just wasn't consistent throughout. I'd give it another chance some time and also fw Sheryl Crow so maybe I'll check out her other stuff
The highs were so god damn high. But unfortunately the lows were essential negative. I’m happy giving it a 3. Sheryl definitely rips when she wants to
Some really nice songs and some others trapped in a 90s time warp but overall not bad.
2.5/5
6/10. Before listening to this album, I wouldn't have thought Cheryl Crow could pull off these bleaker songs, or complex feminist lyricism. After listening to this album, I'd still say this style isn't her strong suit, but it's not bad either.
Generally fine. 6/10
Very nice, Sheryl Crow is great, very talented. The hits are hitting! There is some filler in there though in my opinion, if there was more history, nostalgia or connection there for me I'm sure I would have a stronger feeling about this. I could definitely connect more with this album but it's not happening today. I feel quite neutral, I like it.
I liked this a lot more than I expected to. Some great fun tunes on there and lots of variation too.
I did sleep on this record when it first came up. I'm well aware of Sheryl and have never been a fan. This album was pretty good. Never head Leaving Las Vegas before and I really like that song.
the vibes were definitely there, they just aren’t the vibes for a cold december night. i’d enjoy the fuck out of this album at the beach in the summer though
Wasn't a bad album, kind of relaxed, no real duds, but nothing that jumped off the page for me. By the end of each song I was a little bored of it. Wasn't expecting the Aldous Huxley shout out
Expected to like this more… the songs were kind of repetitive and too long and just not enough singing to fill the song. I feel like the instrumental for no one said it would be easy sounds like something I would like but the song is just boring and not flowy. Feel like I just don’t like her style of song and she has some collabs I like better than the stuff on her albums
Some bangers some annoying
5/10 - I didn't hate the vibe and I liked the first song a little bit. Overall it was somewhat boring and the Na-Na song was strange to read the lyrics.
Aight 5.5/10
Maybe the most impossible album for me to review so far. At times a 5, at other times a 2 with obvious radio appeal forced into tracks like 'All I Wanna Do'. Ultimately, it's not an album that I think I'll ever revisit.
prvi dio albuma mi je bolje sjeo, ne znam
Really not my thing, the first song was nice though
Country? Okey had a long time to listen to that genre
I was 22 when this album came out and, even at the time, the songs just felt a little long in the tooth for me. You know, like it wouldn’t be long before they were in the regular rotation at your local grocery store. But you know, to be fair, this is a solid debut album by Sheryl Crow. It’s earthy and bluesy, in the same neighborhood as something you might hear from Lucinda Williams or Bonnie Raitt. But Crow’s softer vocal style really could have used a little grit and she would have had a more substantial sound. I suspect the songs sound better when she sings them now. Crow's vocals are always earnest though, with relatable lyrics. There's a reason you heard these songs everywhere for a good chunk of the 90s. The middle part of the album gets little soft and some of those songs aren't particularly memorable. But the hits are pretty catchy and easy on the ears. I have heard \"All I Wanna Do\" way too many times in my life, but it’s hooky and pretty fun. Sometimes that's all you need in an album. Fave Songs: Leaving Las Vegas, Strong Enough, We Do What We Can, Can't Cry Anymore, All I Wanna Do
Good, has the hits. I need to listen more
Olipa kyllä jännä. Luulin että en tykkäisi yhtään mutta tämähän oli mukavaa kuunneltavaa, poislukien alkupään "hitit". Steel-kitaraa mukavasti, laulajalla hyvä ääni. Jos vaan biisit on kelvollisia niin mukavasti menee.
I've never listened to a full Sheryl Crow album. I've always found her singing fine, but the hits are so overplayed that it gets annoying. I do love her Bond theme song from Tomorrow Never Dies but I love those songs in general. This album was fine but I probably won't listen again.
The first song and last 3 were nice but the middle wasn't very memorable. All I Wanna Do is a bop and extremely catchy. Stand-out: All I Wanna Do
Classic 90s album
oh the 90s I didn't love this but it did remind me of simpler days in my youth.
More enjoyable than expected! Not half bad.
3.5 perfect album for a road trip
Jos yrittää hetkeksi unohtaa tyylin, estetiikan ja sanat - oi, sanat - niin tämä on musiikillisesti kuulemisen arvoinen kyhäelmä. Tiedätkö, minä unohdin.
Está bien. Favoritas: Leaving Las Vegas
What Taylor Swift would sound like if Taylor Swift was talented
Auffallend viele Stilwechsel. Als wäre ein Star mit ganz viel Geld im Hintergrund erschaffen und durchgeplant worden. Laut Wikipedia aber nicht der Fall.
Never been a huge fan of Sheryl Crow but she's not painful to listen to.
Wanders through genre influences from jazz to country to pop. Realized I wasn't a huge fan or her kinda nasally voice on this album
Starts off strong, weak second half despite All I Wanna Do. The best songs are fantastic, but overall is just ok.
A bit too MOR for me but she's a great singer and a solid songwriter
There was a couple of good songs. I just want to have fun is catchy. But the rest didn't really get me going.
Good for background but not really my style.
mostly checked out from this one, some parts are cool but i could live. could do a lot worse though
Probably the definition of a 3/5 album, do like her voice and tune progression but it just doesn't stand out a huge amount. 3.3
Its fine. I dont love it, but its OK. 3/5
California Rock. The first half of the album is way better than the second. I especially like Run, Baby, Run. The obvious hit All I Wanna Do is overplayed by now. The rest is just OK. 3/5
eh, it's country rock but her voice is nice. Na-Na Song was sung with a real Beck-type delivery, but I like Beck's production a lot more
All I wanna do is have some fun. Decent pop. Nothing spectacular.
3.75
What an enjoyable intro. Nice compositions and of course her voice and singing style are nice to listen to.
This is Sweet Baby James, just the 90's female version.
The best thing about albums pre-streaming days was that you could discover more of the artist. I think that's what I like about this website too as while this album has some very well known songs it was nice to hear some of the funner stuff like The Na-Na Song.
Fun, cool and really well produced.
Very good album, glad to see Sheryl on here in some capacity, I know she has a couple famous albums. This one has Strong Enough and All I Wanna Do which were easy adds. Most of the rest I hadn't heard before but they were good to listen to. She has a good voice and great lyrics too.
Aight
Sounds like the 90's
Moments made me really happy and settled and optimistic. That is powerful.
Fun enough
I’ve a soft spot for Sheryl Crow- she’s written some terrific pop rock tracks with a county flavour over the years and the singles here are catchy with singalong hooks. This album is a little dull in parts and it probably hasn’t quite earned its place on this list but hey I have a soft spot for Sheryl Crow.
OK - but a fairly standard album to me.
Country pop
It's alright, fee bops here and there.
ah, another decent-but-not-memorable 1001-list album that doesn't hold any nostalgia for me so I may not fully appreciate all it has to offer. i knew All I Wanna Do going into this and that's definitely the highlight of the album. lot of snoozefest filler here in my opinion. favorites: all I wanna do, no one said it would be easy
Full of good tracks. Great? Nah… but, a good listen. 3.5/5
All I Wanna Do is ab absolute banger
I feel bad, this suffers as I had Alanis the day before. It's a bit rootsy and country for my tastes, bur Run Baby Run is gorgeous, and All I Wanna Do was a smash, even if I find it a tiny bit smug. It falls in the middle for me. I didn't dislike it, but it won't be the next record I buy.
Sounded okay. Clearly influenced by Lucinda Williams, but the songs are much less interesting.
Some good songs. Could have been more variety.
Sheryl crow has made some fun songs over her career. I thought this album was going to be more upbeat but it had a lot of slower melancholy songs. All I wanna do is the big hit here and it’s still good today. I’d say her album overall was lacking from my expectations. It wasn’t bad I just never listened to a full album of hers and this was just alright. Some decent options to come back to but nothing splendid. 6.2/10
This was fine, frankly I though most of it had a pretty bland sound and the lyrics mostly standard Country Girl fare with a little intellectual embellishment. Only a couple songs really stood out to me.
Obviously, I was aware of All I wanna do is have some fun, but I never attributed much to it other than being a rather catchy song. I was thus taken by surprise by this album, which packs more quality than I expected. Will I ever go back to this album again? Probably not.
Better than expected. Some good sounds here.
Very meats and potatoes in my opinion. All I Wanna Do is very good, but otherwise nothing that really stood out. It wasn't that bad either though, just not particularly interesting. Actually not sure why this is on the list, maybe it was revolutionary when it came or something. Feels like another contemporary-ish pop/rock/country album.
i will never play this again but it’s better than i expected and it makes me yearn for the world of the 1990s, the world we threw away
She's like the Julia Roberts of music. There's nothing about it that's bad, but it just somehow feels like it's for single women in their mid-thirties on an early 90's sitcom.
Sheryl Crow has always been fine to listen to but not something I’d seek out First listen to one of her albums didn’t really change that but do like Run Baby Run and All I Wanna Do (which is a 5⭐️ song)
i don’t like her voice, she sounds like a backup singer for herself. but then there’s a point in the album where that j goes away, and then it’s good music
Classic 90s pop
It's not really my thing. I don't particularly dig it, but it's nice enough.
Passable album, that was semi enjoyable at most. She has a good band in the back though, and the inclusion of Kevin Gilbert is an interesting discovery! 6 out of 10
Better than I thought but that’s a low bar.
The singles off of this album were being played in every public building in the mid-90s. Decent listen even if it's not my thing.
Because I have the time, I'll do another track-by-track review: 1. Run, Baby, Run: pretty generic radio blues rock. OK vocal. Nothing else of note. 2. Leaving Las Vegas: Painfully 90s production but the song is good. 3. Strong Enough: The track is sweet but I get "Midnight Train to Georgia" vibes which bums me out. 4. Can't Cry Anymore: This one feels really manufactured for the Adult Contemporary radio format. 5. Solidify: 😐 what 6. The Na-Na Song: OK side two is taking on a totally different flavor. I can't say I hate this one actually. 7. No One Said It Would Be Easy: my favorite number so far - despite my trashing of those two Eagles records I had last week. 8. What I Can Do for You: Kind of a pulled punch when Courtney Love and Alanis Morrisette were making angrier and better songs at the same time. The vocal refrain is bad. 9. All I Wanna Do: This is the big one. This song was everywhere back then. For good reason, too. The lyric and vocal performance are 5/5. The track really does sound like that one Stealers Wheel jam from Reservoir Dogs though! 10. We Do What We Can: the muted trumpet sounds cool? idk I'm kind of getting tired already. 11. I Shall Believe: Another adult contemporary one.
Quite nice
Ergens doet het me een heel klein beetje denken aan Carly Simon, iets in haar stem heeft iets vergelijkbaars maar dat kan ook aan mij liggen. Run, Baby, Run vind ik een leuk nummer en staat nu ook in mijn afspeellijst.
Debuutalbum van Sheryl Crow, met doorbraak nummer "All I Wanna Do". Sommige nummers werken goed, maar het gros van het album is een beetje ondermaats en af en toe bijna vals gezongen door Crow's gebrek aan range. leukste nummer: Run Baby Run Album is vernoemd naar haar songwriters clubje dat elke dinsdag samenkwam, die niet blij waren met gebrek aan credits voor de nummers.
