[INTERVIEW] Metro (UK) - 18 July
Sheryl Crow on politics and getting back in the ring
by Rachel Corcoran
METRO NEWS
How does it feel to be back with your new album, Be Myself?
Really good. I’ve never felt like a record wasn’t important but this one feels more so just because of all that’s going on in America and in life in general. Being my age has been liberating too — there’s less risk. It’s kind of given me carte blanche to write about what everyone around me is talking about, from our addiction to social media and what it’s doing to our kids, to the political climate in America.
Which song resonates with you most?
Definitely Halfway There because, even though we hadn’t voted in the US yet, I wrote it as a result of what was going on in the political campaign, the vitriol and dialogue among people in America. It’s a really scary time — I don’t even know who we are any more. We have to get back to having a sense of reason in our ability to discuss the future. Roller Skate resonates with me too, so heavily that I’m off email, I text twice a day, my phone is always on silent. I’m present and not addicted to a screen. It’s improved my quality of living a lot.
[NEWS] Sheryl Crow Spends Time With Orillia Family

London, ON, Canada / 103.1 Fresh Radio
It’s not everyday a multiple time Grammy winner wanders into your backyard, but you never know! Sheryl Crow recently played a concert at Casino Rama in Orillia, Ontario and shared a heartwarming story of her time spent in the city.
Woke up in Orillia, Ontario on Saturday and took a bike ride with my boys. We had some trouble trying to find public access to the lake, so we stopped and asked a man mowing his lawn for directions. He told us, "just come through my sister's yard!"
Cut to us spending the afternoon in the friendliest family's backyard. Trevor took my boys fishing, Angie provided fresh watermelon while we sat by the water and then let my boys raid her pantry for snacks. Big thanks to Claudio, Angie, Trevor, and Taylor for continuing Canada's reputation for niceness!
Can you even imagine?! The fact that they treated her like a normal person instead of a global superstar is likely the reason she felt comfortable enough to stick around for the afternoon. What a great story that this family will be telling for years.
We’re glad you enjoyed your time in Canada Sheryl, come back soon!

[NEWS] Sheryl Crow took Uber to Destiny USA before Syracuse concert, gave driver tickets

Sheryl Crow enjoyed her time off stage just as much as on stage in Upstate New York this past weekend.
The 55-year-old singer-songwriter took an Uber to Destiny USA in Syracuse on Sunday before performing at the Lakeview Amphitheater. Her Uber driver, Sally Griffith, tells syracuse.com that she drives an extra large van for the ride-sharing service and took Crow, her two sons and an assistant to enjoy WonderWorks at the mall.
"She was so kind and just... wonderful," Griffith said.
Crow offered Griffith two free tickets to Sunday night's concert as part of the Outlaw Music Festival Tour with Willie Nelson, My Morning Jacket and Margo Price. Crow is promoting her ninth studio album, "Be Myself," released in April; the title track features a reference to Uber.
"Hanging with the hipsters is a lot of hard work
How many selfies can you take before you look like a jerk?
I took an Uber to a juice bar to hear a new indie band play
They got 99 million followers in only one day."
Uber and fellow ride-sharing service Lyft were made available in Upstate New York for the first time just three weeks ago. Customers haaised the apps' convenience and prices, while drivers are also enjoying the service.
"Uber is the only way I got to meet Sheryl Crow," Griffith told syracuse.com.
Crow has sold more than 50 million albums and won nine Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year for "Tuesday Night Music Sessions" standout "All I Wanna Do" and Best Rock Album for 1998's "The Globe Sessions." Her hits also include "If It Makes You Happy," "A Change Would Do You Good," "Strong Enough," "Everyday is a Winding Road," "My Favorite Mistake," the James Bond theme "Tomorrow Never Dies" and the Kid Rock duet "Picture."
She performed at the Chautauqua Institute Amphitheater in Western New York on Friday, and raved about the experience.
"We just spent the last two days in what felt like old small town America: where no one worries to lock up their bikes, where the days seem to move at a slower pace [and] where you feel comfortable sending your kids a few blocks over to get their ice cream by themselves," Crow wrote on Facebook Saturday. "We will be back!"
Crow has two sons she adopted in 2007 and 2010: 10-year-old Wyatt and 7-year-old Levi.

[NEWS] Sheryl Crow Talks Working With Keith Richards, Don Henley and More on Upcoming Collaborative Album (Billboard)
By Gary Graff
Billboard.com
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.
Show Notes: Sheryl Crow took the stage at about 7:30 PM right before Willie Nelson. The sun had started to go down and was finally off of the crowd but was shining directly on the stage which probably made Sheryl Crows set one of the hottest of the day for the perfomers. She mentions it a couple of times but still puts on a solid performance. This is my master. All I have done is track the show and create a md5.

[NEWS] Sheryl Crow’s Still Got It With Memorable Performance At Macy’s 4th Of July Fireworks Spectacular
By Erin Glow
Hollywood Life
Sheryl Crow proved she still knows how to give an entertaining performance when she rocked the rooftop of Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular show. Find out details of her incredible night here!
Veteran singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow, 55, took over the spotlight with her memorable performance at the 2017 Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular in New York. The talented star sang some of her famous tunes including favorite “Soak Up the Sun” and also belted out her new song called “Be Myself” while playing guitar better than ever outside on a 5th Avenue rooftop. She looked fantastic and refreshed with her hair pulled back as she wore a black sleeveless top and red pants.
Sheryl played the popular event among other well known musicians both old and new including Jennifer Lopez, Lady Antebellum, Charlie Puth, and Brad Paisley. After topping the charts in various genres of music including country and pop, Sheryl knows how to reach a wide range of music fans, which made her a great addition to the 4th of July show. The singer hit it big with her mega popular song “All I Wanna Do” off her debut album Tuesday Night Music Club back in 1993 and since then, there’s been no stopping her success in the music industry.
Sheryl’s known for her impressive duets with fellow rocker musicians. Her performance of “Give it to Me” with Joshua Davis on The Voice finale in 2015 was a huge hit as well as her performance of “Wagon Wheel” with Darius Rucker at the 2013 American Country Music Awards. When she’s not focusing on music, she’s standing up for issues she really believes in like equal pay for women. As always, we love what she does and cannot wait to see more in the future!
[NEWS] Sheryl Crow Releases New Single 'Long Way Back'
PRESS RELEASE - Sheryl Crow releases a new single - "Long Way Back" available via all digital partners from her critically acclaimed album Be Myself. Recently Crow appeared on NBC's the Today Show in New York City where she performed the song live. Click here to view and share.
Crow has been touring non-stop in support of her latest album, which marks her return to her rock/pop roots. During her dazzling two-hour plus hit-filled shows, "Long Way Back" appears to have resonated deeply with her audience.
"To me, there's a little bit of sadness in the song," Crow says of the country-rock tune. "Sometimes you have to go so far away from who you are to find out what you really believe in." Watch Crow perform "Long Way Back" live at The Troubadour in Los Angeles here.
"Long Way Back" is the second single to be released from Crow's current album Be Myself, which has been heralded by such outlets as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly, Nylon, and Rolling Stone, which called it "her toughest and best in a decade" and "a full-blown return to her fierce rock-queen glory." Be Myself is available to purchase or stream here and available on vinyl at Barnes & Noble here.z
Crow is profiled on Amazon's custom curated "Side by Side" series, where she will discuss each of the songs on Be Myself. Click here to listen.
Last week, Crow performed a triumphant sold-out show at the Beacon Theater in New York City, which Digital Journal called "impeccable" and performed the album's first single, "Halfway There," on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - watch the performance here. Also this week, Crow took part in NBC's annual star-filled Macy's 4th Of July Fireworks® Spectacular, performing "Be Myself" and her beloved hit "Soak Up The Sun."

Mini Review
The picture of pop-star polish, Sheryl Crow and her band put on a masterful performance, with Crow herself taking turns at guitar, bass and harmonica. Early hits like "Strong Enough" and "If It Makes You Happy" were easy crowd-pleasers, while songs off her latest album Be Myself proved the singer-songwriter is making some of her best work yet. Crow, sporting a T-shirt adorned with an image of the host, also created one of the highlights of the night when she brought out Willie and Lukas Nelson – with whom she's touring this summer on the Outlaw Music Festival – to pay tribute to Gregg Allman with a cover of "Midnight Rider," a song she's been known to slip into her sets in the past.

[INTERVIEW] Sheryl Crow and Lilith Fair 20th Anniversary (Glamour)
Sheryl Crow on the Beginnings of Lilith Fair and Her New Album 'Be Myself'
By Ilana Kaplan
Glamour.com
Before there was Gaga or Taylor, before pussy hats or Beyoncé's "girls in formation," there was an epic all-female music festival created by women fed up with sexism: Lilith Fair. This summer, in honor of the festival's twentieth anniversary, we're exploring the history of this very '90s movement and looking ahead to where women in music are today. You can find all the stories here.
When it comes to singer-songwriters of the '90s, Sheryl Crow was a pioneer in many ways. Her 1993 breakout album, Tuesday Night Music Club, topped the charts and made her name synonymous with empowering pop anthems ("All I Wanna Do") and power ballads ("Strong Enough"). Then, in 1997 — alongside Sarah McLachlan, Fiona Apple, and Liz Phair — Crow was one of the headliners for the first Lilith Fair. The experience was a positive one: Crow joined the touring festival for each of the three years in the nineties and returned to play the 2010 revival tour as well. "The fun thing about the festival was that it redefined what all of radio and promoters believed about female touring," Crow explains. “It immediately sold out everywhere, so it was a big success.”

NOTES FROM THE TAPER
Show Notes:
My first time seeing Sheryl live, it was a fantastic rocking show in a gorgeous theatre! A great mix of hits and songs from her great new album, which I really like, just under 2 hours of great music. Get her latest album and go see her live if you can!
Recording Notes: I was in a great location, second row center of the loge gave me a great view of the stage (which had a beautiful backdrop), and the recording came out really well. I had a really annoying guy behind me, who thankfully for the most part you can't hear, but you can at times, but it's not too distracting. The worst bit for me came towards the end when he spilled beer on my shirt, thankfully not over the recorder. I expressed my displeasure without speaking (if the recorder hadn't been on he would have heard it!), but at least he did say sorry. He didn't stick around for the encore so thankfully the last 2 songs are douchebag free. Anyway enjoy!

[PODCAST INTERVIEW] Hear Sheryl Crow, Chris Shiflett Talk Willie Nelson Tour, Mainstream Country
- Podcast - 53 Minutes -
Singer-songwriter discusses her new album as well as her time in Michael Jackson's band on Shiflett's 'Walking the Floor' podcast
By Robert Crawford
Rolling Stone Country
"I wanted to write stuff that was going to be everlasting," Sheryl Crow says during this week's Walking the Floor podcast, which covers everything from her stint in Michael Jackson's touring band to the long solo career that's been championed by rock & roll's elder statesmen and Americana's new class alike. Talking with host Chris Shiflett, she also drops a hint about a new album due out next spring, featuring more than a half-dozen of those A-list supporters.
Leaving our Monday morning tradition intact, we've rounded up the episode's highlights below.
[INTERVIEW] Sheryl Crow has some fun in return to rock on latest album
By Gary Graff
The Macomb Daily
After a brief flirtation with country music, Sheryl Crow is back to the kind of music that brought her to the rock ’n’ roll party — including platinum sales and Grammy Awards.
And she couldn’t be happier about it.
“It has the sound that we were famous for, so I guess it feels familiar and that’s great for me,” Crow, 55, says. She spoke by telephone from her home in Nashville about her 10th and latest studio album, “Be Myself,” which came out in April and debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart. It follows 2013’s country-flavored “Feels Like Home” but has far more in common with Crow’s work from the ’90 and early ’00s.
