Sheryl Crow – Evolution

[Deleted]

I used to love Sheryl. Strong Enough will forever be one of my favorite ballads and Everyday Is A Winding Road one of my favorite summery songs.

Strong Enough, Soak Up The Sun, Steve McQueen, Everyday Is A Winding Road, My Favourite Mistake, Picture, If It Makes You Happy, her cover of First Cut Is The Deepest...she has some serious classics. I also love Easy and Good Is Good from her latter-day albums.

Terrible sales. She probably lost a lot of her base with a decade between rock albums.

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

That's too bad. She had a nice 20+ year streak going. The time away definitely hurt for sure.

[Nick]

I'm still enjoying the album. She'll get my streams.

I picked this up today, and I really liked it. Though I really wanted another country album (Feels Like Home was basically perfect, imo), if I couldn't get that, I'd want 90s Sheryl, which this album is to me. On its own, I wasn't immediately in love with "Halfway There", but I like it so much better in the context of the album. This is exactly what I wanted from 'rock Sheryl', and I'll be playing it a fair bit. It's unfortunate that the sales are so poor, but I guess that's to be expected at this stage of her career. I didn't realize that she was 55 - she is ageless to me.

#24 with 17k SPS (#7 with 17k sales) per HITS.

It's grown on me with a few more listens but it's not her best effort. I do like the sound though.

Sheryl Crow Talks Working With Keith Richards, Don Henley and More on Upcoming Collaborative Album

Sheryl Crow is still full speed ahead in promoting her latest album, Be Myself, after its April release. But she's also continuing work on a guest-filled album that's been in motion for a while, and which she hopes to have out during 2018.

"It's not really duets; It's just highly collaborative," Crow tells Billboard about the in-motion LP, which includes Crow collaborations with Keith Richards, Willie Nelson, Stevie Nicks, Don Henley (for whom she sang backup during the 80s), Joe Walsh, Vince Gill and more. "I've just called on a bunch of people I've known forever who I'm friends with, and who I've sung with one way or another throughout the years, but I've never asked them to come sing with me. I've been working on it for a couple of years, and eventually I will finish it and it will be out."

In fact, Crow predicts she's "probably one thing away" from having what she would consider a complete set, but adds that, "It could come out now and it would be fine. But there's not any hurry. I'm still working on it and really enjoying it. So I imagine it will be out early next year."

The most important part of the project, according to Crow, is that her guests are actually joining her in the studio during the sessions. "It's just unusual that you get that kind of opportunity where it's not just, 'Here, let's just email the track' and not get a chance to work on it together," she explains. "I got to go to New York and hang out in the studio for two days with Keith Richards. Who lives like that? I am the luckiest person I can think of in the whole wide world. I am never not humbled by it. I just feel so lucky, an to have been embraced by these people in the early days of my career and be able to ask them to come play as we get older is a real treat."

Crow is performing sporadically through the summer, mixing her own shows with dates on Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival -- where she joined Nelson to close his set, and welcomed Nelson's son Lukas on stage to play the Allman Brothers Band's "Midnight Rider" with her in Detroit. Crow will also be part of Farm Aid on Sept. 16 in Burgettstown, Pa., and play on Oct. 1 at the Laid Back Festival in Morrison, Colo.

All of these dates are in continued support of Be Myself, her return to rock after going country with 2013's Feels Like Home. "It has the sound that we were famous for, so I guess it feels familiar and that's great for me. I don't mind that at all," Crow says of Be Myself, which debuted at No. 3 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums chart. "I think there's something kind of comforting with familiarity right now, while everything's so foreign."

That attitude may be guiding her future writing as well. "I will tell you that for me, as an artist, I can't think of a more compelling time to be writing music," Crow explains. "To me it feels urgent and important and mission-like, and there was so much hanging in the air to write about that it was a very fast process, and a very inspired process. And not at all like a job."

I saw her for the first time on Saturday, and she blew me away. I've always been a fan of hers, but I left her concert an even bigger one. She played seven instruments (including vocals) over the course of the night. Her backing band was also quite good. She played five cuts from the new album, but also did almost all of her big earlier hits. I thought it was kind of interesting that her most recent single that she played (besides the ones from the new album) was "The First Cut It Is The Deepest". The focus was definitely on earlier hits, and the current album. It was a fantastic show though - highly recommended if you are able to see her on her current tour.

The upcoming collab-filled album is now titled Threads, and it's slated for release next year. Along with St. Vincent collab "Wouldn't Want To Be Like You," it will reportedly include a version of "Redemption Day" with both her and Johnny Cash (the two have separate versions released in 1996 and posthumously in 2010, respectively).

Sheryl Crow


Thanks for following along in 2018! Can’t wait to share new music and collaborations with you in 2019! Happy New Year’s Eve! 🎉

[KeepDeanWeird]

Her final full length album. I don’t blame her for going the ‘singles’ route in future, but it’s kind of a shame because her albums are solid.

[Kurt]

Variety confirms she's now signed to Big Machine: variety.com/2019/music/news/sheryl-crow-signs-with-big-machine-new-album-1203130435/ No confirmation of the title (so far, it's been People I Love, Snap, and Threads) nor whether or not it'll be her final album as previously suggested.

[SHOOTER]

I’m excited for her! Can’t wait to hear the album.

[Deleted]

She confirmed to CMT this will be her final album.

Threads is out August 30, according to press following the release of new song "Live Wire," featuring Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples. The 17-track album will also include collaborations from Chris Stapleton, Maren Morris, and Jason Isbell.

I hope she reconsiders this being her final album. But, if it is, I think she's going to go out of the album making business on a very high note. The collaborations coming off of this project so far are great (if not very commercial). Sheryl, Bonnie & Mavis all together on one track is fantastic.

In case you don't frequent the country forum, uncross one of these names, because the Stevie Nicks and Maren Morris collab "Prove You Wrong" is out Wednesday!

[Deleted]

"Live Wire" received 4 Triple A adds this week. I wonder if they're doing different singles to different formats.

It appears so, the track with Stevie and Maren is going to Country.

From Sheryl's FB page:


NEW! Out this Wednesday June 5 - my next single from my upcoming album Threads is “Prove You Wrong” and features the legendary Stevie Nicks and the incredible Maren Morris!

Stevie exudes art, she is at all times authentic. She’s the sister I don’t see enough, but she never leaves my heart. I invited Maren to perform on “Prove You Wrong” with Stevie and I because she belongs in our “club” of strong female rockers who tell it like it is.

Waddy Wachtel guests on guitar & makes “Prove You Wrong” rock properly, and my good friends Vince Gill and Joe Walsh also play on the track - can't wait for you to hear it!

Epic!

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

Finally listened to it all today. Positive first impression! Need to dig into it a bit more. It's definitely more classic blues/rock sounding, probably moreso than any of her albums before but I'd say of her material, it's closest to her self-titled or the Globe Sessions maybe? Music-wise, I'd say the album might best be described as if Bonnie Raitt and Chris Stapleton were one artist, and both are on the album. I don't see it being something I'd go back to much but so far, I think it's pretty solid.

[Kanenrá:ke]

First listen was great, maybe not my favourite from her but it isn’t her worst either.

I really hope she continues making albums because she’s never really let me down.
