Sheryl Crow "Tuesday Night Music Club" (1993)
Sheryl Crow is another of those who seems to have been a lifelong lover
of music. Her parents both played musical instruments, she studied
composition and then made a living mixing teaching work, singing with
bands at night, and recording advertising jingles. Crow also toured
with Michael Jackson in the 80s and provided backing vocals on his "Bad"
tour. After that she started singing backing for other artists and
laid down a few songs of her own for film and TV.
Crow tried to record an album with Police and Split Enz producer Hugh
Padgham, but neither she or the record company were happy with the
result and it was shelved.
Crow started a relationship with musician Kevin Gilbert and the two of
them were involved with a loose group of musicians and songwriters that
called themselves the Tuesday Night Music Group. The group worked
extensively on this album and Crow and her record company were much
happy with this mix of country, blues, balladry, and even pop (in the
shape of the almost out-of-place hit single "All I wanna do").
Great collection of songs. I recognised "Strong Enough" though I think that was through a cover. Pretty sure I've heard "the na-na song" too.
