Sheryl Crow Tickets Information
Sheryl Crow
Sheryl Suzanne Crow is an American blues rock singer, guitarist, bassist, and songwriter. Her music blends country, pop, folk, and blues rock into one mainstream sound. Crow is also a noted political activist.
Early life
Sheryl Suzanne Crow was born in Kennett, Missouri. Her parents were members of a local big band.
Music career
Crow graduated from the University of Missouri. After graduation, she worked as an elementary school music teacher at Kellison in Fenton, Missouri. Teaching during the day allowed her the opportunity to sing in bands on the weekends.
She was introduced to a local musician and producer named Jay Oliver. He helped her by using her in advertising jingles. Her first jingle was a back-to-school spot for the St. Louis department store Famous-Barr. McDonald's and Toyota commercial jingles soon followed. She recently quoted that she made $50,000 on her McDonald's commercial alone.
Unreleased debut album
In 1992, Crow recorded her debut album with Phil Collins' producer, Hugh Padgham. The self-titled debut album was scheduled to be released on September 22, 1992, but was ultimately rejected by her label. This album has been widely dispersed via file sharing networks and fan trading over the years.
Second Album
In 1996, Crow released her eponymous second album, which earned her the cover of Rolling Stone. The album was far more political, with songs about abortion, homelessness and nuclear war. The debut single, "If It Makes You Happy", became a radio hit, and netted her two Grammy awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Rock Album. Crow produced the album herself.
The Globe Sessions, acting, and Live from Central Park
In 1998 Crow released The Globe Sessions. The album won Best Rock Album at the 1998 Grammy Awards. It was re-released in 1999, with a bonus track, Crow's cover of the Guns N' Roses song "Sweet Child o' Mine", which was included on the soundtrack of the film Big Daddy. This song won the 1999 Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
Wildflower and cancer diagnosis
In September 2005, her album Wildflower was released. Although the album debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts, it received mixed reviews and was not as commercially successful as her previous albums. The album was nominated for a Best Pop Vocal Album Grammy in December 2005, while Crow was nominated for a Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy for the first single "Good Is Good". The album got a new boost in 2006 when the second single was announced as "Always on Your Side", re-recorded with British musician Sting and sent off to radio, where it was quickly embraced at Adult Top 40. The collaboration with Sting resulted in a Grammy-nomination for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.
Recent activity
On the red carpet at the 2006 CMA Awards, Crow reported that she was working on a country music album. According to Entertainment Weekly, Wildflower, at one point was to be followed, in about six months, by a "pop record." According to Crow, Wildflower was the "art record," following the success of The Very Best of Sheryl Crow.
At the 2006 CMA Awards, Crow performed the songs "What You Give Away" with Vince Gill, and "Building Bridges" with Brooks & Dunn and Vince Gill.
Crow uses the Buddy Holly classic "Not Fade Away" to sell the cosmetics of her sponsor. The iTunes page states that net proceeds will benefit the fight against breast cancer.
Global warming activist Laurie David and Crow will participate in a "Virtual March". The multi-city tour will begin on April 9 at SMU in Dallas, Texas and will continue on to select cities. She worked with Reverb, a non-profit environmental organization, for the Stop Global Warming tour.
