Ordinary Morning
We Do What We Can
Both of these songs have piano and slow jazz-sounding music. Listening to this music, I imagine Sheryl in a sultry evening gown in front of a microphone with a Jazz pianist and band in the background. The lights are low with a spotlight on her. Smoky bar.
She drives the men in the crowd into a frenzy.
I know there are many older female black artists - say Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Billie Holliday, and Etta James - who did this kind of music. I'm not really interested in Jazz standards - unless they are totally reworked.
I'd be interested if there are any MODERN female artists, black or white, that do this type of music.
I would say Fiona Apple, Madeleine Peyroux, or even Rachel Yamagata.
Those two songs by Sheryl Crow, however, include much more than piano. Electric guitar, a drum beat, rock undertones, and even a muted trumpet. I've not heard anything quite like it except for these two songs. Any help is appreciated.
