Search - Sheryl Crow :: Tuesday Night Music Club

Overpriced and less than expected...hoped for

"The best thing about this re-issue in my opinion is the liner notes...

the bonus songs on CD2 only prove that they didn't belong in the front line of her work as most are languid and without direction. The DVD is a HUGE disappointment to me as most all the videos were previously available on her greatest hits DVD..and aside from a couple of minor videos for songs that weren't hits I was looking forward to "VALUABLE STUFF a documentary featuring on-the-road, backstage soundcheck and live footage recorded during the tuesday night music club tour 1993-1995"...which almost takes longer to read than watch! Most of these re-issues (see Depeche Mode as a prime example or Genesis) feature the artists discussing the making of the record and I figured we'd be getting that along with the extra footage described when ALL we get is a few minutes of b roll footage strung together for 12 minutes...to call THAT a documentary is an insult to documentaries. I think this is horribly overpriced at $30 for 15 minutes of extra video and 10 left over songs. In today's economy getting people to shell out $30 for something they already own ...should be done with more value in mind.

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."
