The verdict

Released 1993
Label A&M Records
Genre Rock

The album is named for the group of musicians that came together every Tuesday to make this album, and that was a perfect vibe choice - it suggest a casual approach to both the songwriting and the recording, and it’s believable. It makes you feel like you’re listening to a group of friends making an album for fun instead of something scripted and master-planned, which I’m sure it was.

I don’t know how Sheryl Crow’s voice sounds so effortless and cool, but it does. It gives her a casual kind of swagger that many artists have miserably failed to achieve. There’s a special kind of brilliance required to make things sound this easy, and you know it’s great when it inspires lesser talents to imitation. It might sound doable and might give many the confidence to try, but that only serves to embarrass the pretenders and show how great the master truly is.
