Sheryl Crow--who knew?

I remember when her first album came out and "All I want to Do Is Have Some Fun" was a huge hit on the radio, I kind of stereotyped Sheryl Crow into that category of "pretty singer with a good voice and nothing more than that."

Then when she released her second album (called "Sheryl Crow"), a musician friend of mine said, you really need to listen to this album. So I put on headphones and was deeply impressed with the whole album - the songwriting, the arrangements, the instrumentation, the singing, the production... everything. As I was listening to the album, I looked at the liner notes, and I saw that she did just about every damn thing on that album.

Her credits from that album: Bass, Composer, Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar (Electric), Harmonium, Keyboards, Loop, Moog Bass, Organ (Hammond), Pennyosley, Piano, Primary Artist, Producer, Vocals, Wurlitzer

I came to the opinion, Sheryl Crow is a world class musical talent who can hold her own with any of the great pop multi-instrumtentalist/singers/songwriters like Paul McCartney, Prince, Stevie Wonder, etc.

That was over 20 years ago, and she has continued to reinforce that opinion year after year.
 
Good grief that Kay looks HUUUUGE on her. Jeez.

Yeah looks much smaller on me! (But she is the reason I bought this one--loved her tone!)

Up there with my most hated songs of all time. I had to hear this song twice a day sometimes 3 times a day for 5 years at my previous employer.
That would certainly do it. The original version wore out its welcome with me pretty quickly - not hearing it for 20+ years helps. Anyway, I posted it more to watch Sheryl dance anyway. :smug:
