679.0. "Sheryl Crow" by AIMTEC::MORABITO_P (Hotlanta Rocks) Tue Oct 04 1994 04:07

OK, I looked.  I didn't see a note on Sheryl Crow...So this is it.

What do you think about her?  This is my opinion about her...She Rocks!

Seeing and listening to her on MTV, I can't help but be remided of Ricki
Lee Jones in the late seventies.   Here is what legend would have it...


...It seems Sheryl started out as back vocal (and dance) for Don Henley and
others on the L.A. scene and then just decided that she should do something 
on her own, so  let's bring on her latest and onlyest (sic?) album, 
Tuesday Night Music Club.  What the "club" did was get together and jam, these
being the musicians in the background for the most part, they just wrote, sang
and performed the music that they helped make great and did it quite well.  

So, getting back to the album, I recently ordered it from the CD club.  It 
should be here any day.   Can't wait to hear the whole thing.  And by the 
way, Sheryl herself is pretty hot looking...Do I sound like anybody in this
conference?  Anybody got the CD?


All I want to do...is have some fun on Peachtree St.

    re .0  
    
    Paul, the first time I saw her she reminded me immediately of Atlanta's
    own Michelle Malone, (of Michelle Malone and Drag The River) although 
    Michelle rocks a good deal harder.  Is Michelle and the band still 
    playing in the Atlanta area?  I first saw them in LA and they blew me
    away.  Sheryl looks/sounds like a more "commercialized" Michelle
    Malone.
    
    Cheers,
    Ken

         never saw cheryl live, but michelle malone is amazing!! she plays
      up here in rhode island every once in awhile, i saw her for a second
      time about six weeks ago. highly recomended.
         i received a mailing for a band called band de soleil, they were
      advertising a date this month in atlanta playing with michelle.

     We had a chance to play with Michelle Malone at the New Music Seminar
     in NYC back in July. she said they had just (as in that day) finished
     recording their album.

    Great, it must be their long awaited second album, as I have their
    first CD (Relentless) which was released on A&M in 1990.
    
    Cool.
    
    Cheers,

Re .2, I haven't seen Michelle Malone, but if she is in Band de Soleil, then
I know they were in town recently.  Don't know if Atlanta is their home base,
but I will checkout "Creative Loafing", our weekly entertainment rag.  If
Michelle sounds/looks like Sheryl, I am there.

    amazing, someone starts a note about someone and everyone talks about
    someone else :')
    
    I've got Crow's CD and some of it I like and others just don't hit
    me...myself I see her coping a bit of Bonnie Raitt (not in playing
    style just in style of song content)

    back to Cheryl Crow's new album.
    
    I've got her new album, the tape.
    Except for two songs, her recent hit and another, I find the album
    somewhat of a bore. Almost decided to take it back for an exchange.
    The hit single, doesn't fit the rest of the album. Which is comprised
    mostly of slow and meandering vocals.
    
    It's one of those, ya got to be in the mood for it albums.

    I just saw her at Great Woods at the HORDE festival with Allman
    Brothers.  She is great live and immediately liked her.  I wanted
    to get her CD but from what I have read in this notes file, it
    doesn't sound like she would be playing anything from the show.
    Those songs really rocked, nothing really slow at all.

679.11I like Cheryl! A lot!CUPMK::WIEGLERTue Oct 04 1994 18:0611
    I have the CD and I love it.  The hit single (All I Wanna Do...) is not
    truly representative of the rest of the songs, but I think they are 
    a nice eclectic mix.  Overall, I think it's full of very good music.
    Kind of soulful, kind of funky.  I do think there is a similarity with
    Ricki Lee Jones, although Cheryl Crow seems more commercially viable. I
    mean that in a good way.  I don't see much in common with Bonnie Raitt,
    as a previous reply suggested.
    
    And, yes, I guess I *did* notice that she is very SeXy HoT!

679.12Very refreshing (and listenABLE)SUFRNG::REESE_KThree Fries Short of a Happy MealTue Oct 04 1994 18:4313
    Paul,
    
    Although my niece thinks I'm getting a little long in the tooth
    to watch VH1, I must admit when Crow's video of All I Wanna Do first
    came on it caught my attention immediately (I too am reminded of
    Rickie Lee Jones).
    
    I think she was VH1's Artist of the Month (last month); I thought
    I heard them mention she's written a lot of music covered by other
    artists, including Clapton.

679.13SLOHAN::FIELDSAin't gonna worry my life anymoreTue Oct 04 1994 18:5213
    I see the Rickie Lee Jones reference too but it was the slower tracks
    that reminded me of Raitt's latest release....I also saw some of her on
    VH-1 and heard the Clapton cover bit but I can't find anything that is
    credited to her....so unless she has another name this must be
    something Clapton might have done on tour and has never released (if
    someone knows what, if any, cover Clapton has done please let me know 
    I'd like to hear it)
    
    as a marketing package she will clean up on her good looks thats for
    sure.....anyone see her on the MTV awards show a month ago or so ?
    yikes !

    Cool Show!! and quite a babe!! some friends of mine did the sound
    and production, so I got to hang with the band after the show...

679.16CNTROL::DGAUTHIERTue Feb 28 1995 16:4714
    Overall good CD.  Really love 3 ("Strong Enough", "Na-Na Song", "All I
    wanna Do"... in that order), like a few of the others, ambivlient about 
    the rest. For a first album, I thought she did really well.  Just hope
    she can keep it up.  
    
    Haven't seen her on TV (don't watch TV) but if she's as good looking as 
    everyone says, that'll certainly help in the commercial aspect of
    things.  Some of her music reminded me of Eadie Brickelle (sp), off
    beat, rhyme sometimes... no attempt to in the next verse, almost casual
    talk in the middle of the song.
    
    So where can I get a life size poster?  ;-)

    Joyce Coolhaywick (phonetically spelled for those "hooked on phonics")
    did a piece on "All I want to do is have some fun."  The song came
    from a poem written by a professor at Marlboro College. Someone in the
    record industry picked up one of his 500 copies of his book of poems 
    and liked the verse so much he recommended it to Crow.  The rest is 
    pop history. He read the verse...which gave it a new perspective.  
    
    
679.19"Fun" by Wyn CooperLOWELL::MIDDLETONJohnThu Mar 02 1995 01:2016
    OK, here's some information that I got from an article in yesterday's
    Nashua Telegraph.
    
    The poet's name is Wyn Cooper, originally from Detroit, now teaching at
    Marlboro College in Vermont.
    
    The poem itself is called "Fun" and is from his 40 page paperback
    collection of poems called "The Country of Here Below."
    
    Apparently Crow picked up a copy out in Pasadena and wanted to make it
    into a song.  According to Cooper, most of the songs is from his poem,
    with the exception of the refrain.
    
    That's it.

679.20I get the feeling I WAS the only one!TNPUBS::LARAMEEThu Mar 30 1995 12:078
    Did anyone else see Sheryl at the Orpheum in Boston last week? She
    was great as was the whole band. Wyn Cooper was there and recited
    his poem while the band accompanied him; crowd went wild. For a tiny
    person, Sheryl can sure belt out a song! I'd go back to see her any
    time.  
    
    Since I can no longer claim to be a read only noter, guess I'll go sign in
    now. @@@:). Pat.
