Indeed it's 90's night here at the Jersey City Desk. We're gonna kick it off with one of Johnny's all-time favorite performers and favorite people, Sheryl Crow. There is just something about Sheryl that's just cool. I've never heard a cross word out of her, she doesn't embarrass herself and really all she does is make great music with interesting lyrics and puts on phenomenal live shows. Johnny's has seen her (counting in his own head) FOUR times and was present at the concert at the Palace of Auburn Hills the night she recorded her live DVD 'Rockin' the Globe'. What a show. We're gonna go with a very Rolling Stones inspired tune 'If it Makes You Happy' which as Sheryl will tell you HERE was originally a country song. Yep, it was, go have a listen, it's incredible. Here's Sheryl Crow with 'If it Makes You Happy'.
Hey, Trixie actually saw Charlie Louvin perform last fall when he opened for Old 97's. He's a songwriting legend and I was extremely pleased to hear him sing 'Cash on the Barrelhead,' one of the coolest songs ever.
ReplyDeleteAs to Sheryl - damn she's cool. Add pedal steel to a song and life is good.
Love Love Love Sheryl..she is an awesome chick and I personally LOVE this song because it is one of my Personal life philosophies..
