Sheryl Crow - Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow's proper debut--an earlier, slicker record was scrapped in favor of Tuesday Night--occasionally reaches too far in attempting Significance, as when the album opens by name-checking Aldous Huxley. Usually, though, Crow and her band of L.A. session and singer/songwriter collaborators strike just the right tone. The "Stuck in the Middle with You" homage of "All I Wanna Do," the clanking guitar riff of "Can't Cry Anymore," and the funky threat of "What I Can Do for You" meld perfectly with the lyrics, resulting in a peak of mainstream pop-rock. --Rickey Wright Amazon.com

"Lie to me, I promise I'll believe..."

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow was a good debut album from this Mid-Western rock goddess. Songs I like include: Leaving Las Vegas, I Can't Cry Anymore, All I Wanna Do, I Shall Believe, Run Baby Run, and Strong Enough. The rest of the tracks are ok but not standouts. Crow had a lot of potential back in 1993, the Grammy people just love her, she won a ton of awards for this album. I prefer The Globe Sessions over this album but I still think her songwriting is what made her popular. Give this album a try, enjoy! June 4, 2008

Catchy, Bluesy with a Voice that is Ever so Sweet

Sheryl Crow made her debut with this release. It was her first time being the front person, as before she was a backup singer for artists like Michael Jackson and Don Henley. The album came about with Crow participating with producers and songwriters that happened to be on Tuesday nights. What she added was a contemporary mature yet loose folky rock. She had a knack for songwriting and a voice you can't help but love.

The album is filled from the first track to the last with all strong songs. "All I Wanna Do" is a catchy tune that's simple and melodic. "Leaving Las Vegas" slows things down a tad as well with "Can't Cry Anymore", both being on the more ballad side of rock. She is a great musician who can write great, catchy pop songs that have a fun bluesy feel and she sings them with a voice that is ever so sweet. May 4, 2008

Great CD, every song is good

This is an older CD but I think its really Crow's only good CD she's made. I like all the songs on here and it is well recorded. March 25, 2008

Weekend Tavern

Sheryl Crow's debut album, Tuesday Night Music Club, enough for an entire week of simple living with the stories for each day. Sprinting out with this lead song "Run, Baby, Run" slow twist of rock & roll with a hint of country depicts the mood of the narrative lying in this tune. Leaving behind bad luck and the streak of all that is lost, "Leaving Las Vegas" would be an escape from chance. The guitar driven "Strong Enough" highlights this LP with a sincere question from a woman's perspective and a bridge arched beautifully with the lyrics "...lie to me, I promise I'll believe/lie to me, but please don't leave..." Getting over relationships and the drama of surviving the pain, "Can't Cry Anymore" is far from a shot in the dark as it takes you on to an upbeat, multi-layered guitar tracks of "Solidify". "The Na-Na Song" is more like rock-hop by Sheryl's performance, but is somewhat drained by the hard driven guitar and other live instruments. Taken on the man's role on "What I Can Do For You" are definately excerpts of a male's ego and conquering the heart of a woman. From the bar of a tavern, the upbeat "All I Wanna Do" has a continuous swing capturing the album title and feel wrapped in one for a night of fun. "We Do What We Can" is another highlight for this album. Falling somewhere near a Cotton Club jazz tune, gives depth for Sheryl's sound with a misty aura and mood. Keeping the tone but going back to the album's theme, "I Shall Believe" concludes this project with a hint of faith strengthening some of the lackluster songs by displaying her versitility. Completely produced by Bill Bottrell and written and co-written by Sheryl Crow's collaboration complimented each others talents to create this art. Even the fillers seem to draw one in with spoken truth and perfect rhythm. August 17, 2007

Thirty Seconds is still too much

Let's face it folks this is not a rock album that everyone believes it is. I will start by saying I didn't play the 30 second snippet for "All I Want To Do" because I knew it was already a lost cause, the rest were all just as bad. There are only 2 songs that may be a little bit o.k. and they are "Can't Cry Anymore", and "We Do What We Can". I just feel that this was a pop album all the way even though it has a rock edge don't be decieved. I don't know what she's like, or anything like that, but I do know she's beautiful, but while talented it's not the music I seek to listen to. September 6, 2006
