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

Customer Reviews

Crow's Debut
Tuesday Night Music Club is a solid debut effort by Sheryl Crow. Ms. Crow's greatest asset is her strong and expressive voice. She uses it to effectively convey the emotions from her songs. Her songwriting is solid, but sometimes she goes a bit over the top in trying to be deep or relevant. The album opens up with a bluesy "Run Baby Run" and then moves into the best song on the album "Leaving Las Vegas". The song has a chunky beat and the first person lyrics give the song a real personal sense. "Strong Enough" is another great song with Ms. Crow laying down a challenge to a man. "Can't Cry Anymore" has a good riff and "The Na-Na Song" is done in a Dylanesque style. "All I Wanna Do" was the song that made her a star. It has an instantly recognizable guitar riff and a day in the life lyrics that you can't get out of your head. The song went on to win the 1994 Grammy for Record of the Year and established the former Michael Jackson backup singer as a force on the music scene.

Aldous Huxley
Just wanted to comment on the official reviewer's characterization of the mention of Huxley in the album's opening line as an attempt for "Significance". In fact the line ("She was born in November 1963, the day that Aldous Huxley died") is actually a wry joke since Huxley died on November 22, 1963 - the same day as President Kennedy. By the way, this is a great and literate album.

Much stronger than her next two records
A great debut for Sheryl Crow. This album exceeds her next two efforts (although they contain fine music in their own right). The difference is probably the presence of excellent collaborators such as Kevin Gilbert and David Baerwald. One can hear their aural "fingerprints" all over this record, and the songs are better for it. I would like to have heard more Sheryl Crow collaborations with Kevin Gilbert; he was the real deal.
