She's an artist that I have really come to respect because of her disregard for the big business of the music world. She's cool, but I think that the radio kills her reputation. She has some classic songs that are great to hear every once in a while, but two or three times a day just ruins it for me. She's making the music that she wants to and I think that's really cool. She has such a distinct talent and style that makes you want to come back for more.

Tuesday Night Music Club 78

A nice debut by this stylish singer with a pretty face to boot. A bit too much on the easy listening side. But sometimes easy can be a good thing. There are some moments when the mood becomes more upbeat with the laid back rockers Can't Cry Anymore and All I Want To Do as well as the funky Solidify, probably the best song on the album. Anyway all of the lyrics touch on real life human situations which make it easy for the general public to identify with.

Sheryl Crow 87 Sheryl Crow gives us more good quality music with this self titled follow up to Tuesday Night Music Club. Very similar to the debut only with a slightly heavier sound and more of the songs reflect a bitter tone. I guess the rough and tumble world of the music business effected Sheryl as evidenced by the lyrics on such songs as Ordinary Morning, If It Makes You Happy, Home, and The Book. Just look at the picture on this record and compare it to the debut and you'll see that much of the innocence of this midwestern beauty has gone away. Anyway, the bottom line here is the music and there are many excellent songs written from the heart and to me that is what makes a winning recording.
