MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM

TUESDAY NIGHT MUSIC CLUB | SHERYL CROW

There have been countless influential albums in my life, but I would have to say that my obsession with music really began in 1993 with Tuesday Night Club. I remember watching the music video for “All I Wanna Do” and it was the first time I saw a woman playing the guitar. I thought, “Wow, this is something I want to be a part of”! I memorized every lyric and probably drove my parents crazy playing the CD on repeat with my little purple boombox.
