After touring the world as a backup singer, Sheryl Crow signed a record deal with A&M in 1991 and had plans of releasing her debut studio album shortly after. As noted by SoundBoard, the “If It Makes You Happy” hitmaker was supposed to release a self-titled record in 1992 that ultimately got scrapped. The outlet noted that it was supposed to be released on September 22 of that year and that her label had already prepared a press folder and a promotional tape for DJs to start playing. During a 2009 interview with Reuters, it was said that Crow and her label mutually agreed that the shelved album was not worth being put out and chose to start fresh on another. As previously reported by The Scottish Sun, the singer was quoted to have said the project was “too produced” and “slick.”
The unreleased songs didn’t all go to waste, however. Canadian superstar Celine Dion recorded “Love You Blind” for the B-side to her single “If You Asked Me To,” per WhoSampled. On what was supposed to have been Crow’s album opener, her song “All Kinds of People,” was later recorded by Tina Turner for her 1995 “Wildest Dreams” album.
Even though Crow’s album never hit shelves, promotional copies of the album on a cassette tape can be found for sale on Discogs.
