Sweet Oblivion: Monday Morning Live: Sheryl Crow

Your weekly dose of high quality live recordings (no audience boots here!).

As I've mentioned before, I used to love Sheryl Crow's music. After her 3rd album, she lost me, but I recently revisited some of her old live performances and came across this gem from a concert broadcast on the radio back in 1994. "No One Said It Would Be Easy", like most of the songs on her first album, seemed sterile on record compared to the way it slowly burns when performed with her live band on stage, and I've always been fond of its melancholy mood. As an aside, the tune was featured in the movie Kalifornia, starring David Duchovny, Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis.
