"I really don't know what to expect," Crow told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch during the album's release week, when the Kennett, Mo., native, was living here. "Anything is possible. Not ever having had a record of my own out before, everything is new to me at this point."

No one could have predicted what was coming. Released Aug. 3, 1993, the album was named after the musicians collective that helped create it, including producer Bill Bottrell, multi-instrumentalist Kevin Gilbert, bassist Dan Schwartz, drummer Brian Macleod, and guitarists David Baerwald and Dave Ricketts.

The CD, as defining and massive for Crow as it was controversial and tragic, pumped out hit after hit: "All I Wanna Do," "Leaving Las Vegas," "Strong Enough," "Can't Cry Anymore." Grammy came calling with trophies for best new artist, record of the year and best female pop vocal performance. The CD kicked off Crow's long-running love affair with the awards.

This week, "Tuesday Night Music Club" was re-released in a special deluxe edition.

Crow's sales of over 7 million for the original "Tuesday Night Music Club" remain her best. The CD perfectly showcased the blossoming Crow, who kept things roots-rocky while still managing to be diverse over the 11 tracks.

"Tuesday Night Music Club" moved around fluidly, from the shuffling "Leaving Las Vegas" to the twangy "Strong Enough" and "No One Said It Would Be Easy," the jazz-tinged "We Do What We Can," the heartfelt "Can't Cry Anymore" and, of course, the infectious "All I Wanna Do."

"Somehow, amid the dance divas of MTV and the dark angst of Seattle grunge, Sheryl's salty voice, twangy Telecaster, frayed Levis, red curls and bent upper lip scratched their way into the musical culture," said Crow's manager, Scooter Weintraub.

The new deluxe edition features three discs: the original CD; a second CD of unreleased music, outtakes and rarities; and a DVD of videos from "Tuesday Night Music Club."

The second CD is the real treat here and justifies again buying "Tuesday Night Music Club." The first song, the imperfectly lovely "Coffee Shop," was originally intended for "Sheryl Crow," the singer's follow-up album, but failed to make the cut.

"Killer Life," another song intended for Crow's sophomore effort, pulsates vibrantly, as does the Steely Dan-like "Essential Trip of Hereness." The last of the songs meant for her second CD is the folksy "You Want More." These songs are strong enough to make one wonder why they didn't make it onto "Sheryl Crow."

The bonus CD also features U.K. B-sides "Reach Around Jerk," guaranteed to make listeners swoon; "Volvo Cowgirl 99," described as an alternate to "The Na-Na Song"; and an unnecessary piano- and guitar-driven cover of Eric Carmen's "All My Myself."

More interesting, yet simple, is her cover of Led Zeppelin's "D'yer Mak'er."

"On the Outside" is lifted from the "X-Files" TV-soundtrack album, and a new version of "I Shall Believe" is specially and gorgeously remixed by Bottrell.

All the fuss, past and present, is about an album that wasn't supposed to happen the way it did.

Crow originally concocted another album meant for her A&M debut, then scrapped it in favor of what would become "Tuesday Night Music Club."
