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.
Thirty Seconds is still too much
