[INTERVIEW] Paste magazine - 26 June
Exclusive: Sheryl Crow Talks About How Michael Jackson and Don Henley Shaped Her Style
The singer looks back on the long road to becoming the performer she is today.
By Gerry Strauss
Paste magazine
It’s been 24 years since Sheryl Crow released her breakthrough debut, Tuesday Night Music Club, with hits like “All I Wanna Do” and “Strong Enough” vaulting her onto main stages almost overnight. But Crow’s career as a performer stretches back well before 1993, to her days fronting a college cover band, to stints singing backup for Michael Jackson, Don Henley and others. And it has outlived most of her contemporaries, thanks to her perseverance and ever-evolving songwriting and performing skills. With her new album, Be Myself, released last month, Crow is on the road yet again this summer, with stops this week in New York City followed by a slot on Willie Nelson’s traveling Outlaw Music Festival.
Crow spoke with Paste recently about growing into a consummate performer, from the lessons she learned when she was starting out to respecting your audience to her shifting sense of makes a great live show.

REVIEW
Sheryl Crow concert balances all the hits and a new album at Wolf Trap
Review by Greg Hambrick
InsideNoVa.com
Sheryl Crow recorded her latest album, “Be Myself,” as we all struggled through the 2016 presidential primary season. A similar motivation for a break from Washington likely drove many in the audience Wednesday to the Wolf Trap’s Filene Center.
“Because everything is so crazy, I made a record,” Crow told the audience. And the crowd heard a lot of music from the new album, including the latest single “Halfway There,” a song that tries to bridge cultural and political divides. The title track was notable, as well as “Long Way Back Home” and “Heartbeat Away.”
But the audience didn’t show up just to hear Sheryl Crow sing — they showed up to sing with Sheryl Crow. And they did, to classic hit after classic hit.
The show kicked off with “Everyday is a Winding Road,” “A Change Will Do You Good” and “All I Wanna Do.”
For “I Can’t Cry Anymore,” lights lit up the house as the crowd sang along.
Crow’s records have never overproduced, so the stage performance offers exactly what you remember — and sometime even more. “There Goes the Neighborhood” sounded like it was made for a live performance (and I enjoyed the studio version).
Crow finished the show with “If It Makes You Happy” and “Soak Up the Sun.” It kept the audience on their feet, until the show turned low-key for the encore.
Coming full circle, maybe, the final song of the night was the last track on Crow’s first album: the almost-gospel “I Shall Believe.”
Opening act Lukas Nelson joined Crow during the encore for “Midnight Rider.” Members of the audience who caught his set already knew this young artist can jam.
Nelson made every song count in the opening set, with help from his band, Promise of the Real.
Son of country legend Willie Nelson, Lukas Nelson likely knows there are some shoes that a son can’t fill. Lukas Nelson has his own sound — a mix of the influences from his dad, along with the modern country and rock sound that he likely grew up listening to.
Similar to Crow, Lukas Nelson’s music doesn’t sound desperate for radio play, it’s just music looking for an audience in the mood for a good time. Both artists found that at the Wolf Trap.

[NEWS] Sheryl Crow says it's "joyful" touring with her two little boys
Sheryl Crow kicks off a summer tour in support of her new album, Be Myself, tonight in Charlottesville, Virginia. Joining Sheryl on the tour are her sons Wyatt and Levi, who are 9 and 6 respectively. Sheryl says both boys love joining her on the road, even when, she says, "Mommy has to work."
"The boys really enjoy the band, the band enjoy the boys," she tells ABC Radio. "And also, we're sort of at an age where we just feel so lucky to be able to go out and play music and it's really joyful. So we're looking forward to it, it's gonna be a great summer."
Sheryl, a never-married single mom, says her sons have been on the road with her since they were babies, so they know the drill.
"When we first started out, I had cribs [on the bus]," she recalls. "And so they've grown up on tour buses and they do love it. Our routine [is], we get up in the morning, we eat breakfast on the bus, we go to the local kids' museum....and so it's fun, it's family. And then at night, mommy has to work."
Sheryl, who's 55, says she's glad she sowed her wild oats as a full-fledged rock star before she became a mom, because now she can enjoy life on the road as a learning experience with the kids.
"I feel like my life has kinda wound up falling together the way it was supposed to," she tells ABC Radio. "As in, I did a lot of things before my kids came along, and now I love getting to travel around...and I love seeing the world, introducing them to the world, as a first time."
Sheryl's tour will include dates with Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival and a headlining appearance at Farm Aid alongside Willie, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and others.
[NEWS] A little bit (less) country: Crow returns to basics with ‘By Myself’ tour at Wolf Trap Wednesday
By Ed Condran — Special to The Washington Times - - Tuesday, June 20, 2017
Sometimes a move from pop to country is seamless. Jon Bon Jovi succeeded with “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” and Darius Rucker is having a fine post-Hootie and the Blowfish second act as a country star.
But it doesn’t always work out that way. “Feels Like Home,” Sheryl Crow’s first ever country album, failed to cross over, even though the 2013 effort featured a dozen strong collaborations with such noted artists as Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Brooks & Dunn, Dwight Yoakam and the The Dixie Chicks.
“You can’t control what what people will like,” Miss Crow told The Washington Times. “You can only follow your gut when you make music.”
The 55-year-old Grammy winner, who will perform Wednesday at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia, has returned to what has worked for her in the past with her 10th album, aptly titled “Be Myself,” for which she re-teamed with producers Jeff Trott and Tchad Blake, with whom she worked on her 1996 self-titled 1996 album and 1998’s The Globe Sessions.” The catchy song “Roller Skate” has the casual vibe of her smash “All I Want to Do,” and “Strangers Again” would fit perfectly on her aforementioned eponymous release.
“I’ve always enjoyed working with Jeff and Tchad,” Miss Crow said. “The three of us have a connection. They know that I’m not calculating.”
The artist claims that her concern these days is not attaining radio play for her newer material, but rather making music “that has no parameters.”
“I don’t think about genres,” she said. “I’m not worried about success. I just concern myself with trying to make the best songs that I can.”
Miss Crow realizes that she has been more successful than most. She started out as a backup singer for Michael Jackson before going on to sell more than 50 million albums as a solo act, racking up 9 Grammys on a staggering 32 nods and sharing the stage with such icons as The Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson and Prince.
“I caught on during the right era, which was when people bought albums,” she said.
Despite some initial hard times, her label refused to give up on the aspiring solo artist. Her 1993 album “Tuesday Night Music Club” didn’t catch on initially, but A&M Records worked the disc for more than a year, even to the point of sending it out four different times to music journalists over during a 12-month span.
“If I were an unknown now, who put out an album that didn’t do well out of the gate, it would be over,” Miss Crow of the topsy-turvy nature of the 21st century music business. “Nobody pushes albums today like they did back then.”
It isn’t easy for Miss Crow to craft a set list since she has a number of hits her audience expects, which she has to balance with newer tunes she is now promoting.
“That’s a good problem to have,” the artist said. “I don’t get tired of playing songs like ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ or ‘Soak Up the Sun.’ I’m thankful I have them. It’s a balancing act.”
So is being a parent to two sons.
“Things change when you have children,” Miss Crow said. “You want to be at home with them. It isn’t easy doing it all, but it’s rewarding.
“It’s always challenging, but I would rather have it be challenging than boring.”
Sheryl Crow’s By Myself Tour comes to Wolf Trap Wednesday evening. Tickets are $45 to $95 by going to Ticketfly.com.

[PIX] Visiting the City Farmhouse...
Sheryl was at the City Farmhouse Pop-up Fair in Franklin, Tennessee yesterday. This time it was a strictly shopping affair since she didn't have a booth to showcase stuff to sell. Anyway, Sheryl was nice enough to pose for pictures with some (thrilled!) vendors and buyers.

[GEAR] Bass guitar Rocks! (was: Field Notes from the Visual Arts)
Things I dig.
I noticed that in both "My Favorite Mistake" and "Halfway There" music videos Sheryl sports a vintage bass guitar: a sunburst Kay K162 on the first vid and a black Guild M-85 on the second one. Both semi-hollow body.
How cool is that? :-)
Semi-hollow basses are not so widespread in pop and rock music, especially among female musicians. In fact, Sheryl usually plays her "trademark" solid body M-85 II Bluesbird in cherry red, although in some rare occasions she switch to the semi-hollow versions of this model (in black and sunburst finish, see below).
She's clearly a huge fan of the vintage Guilds.
"I love playing the bass and I have a M85 Guild bass from 1974 that I love so much that I want to marry it. I also love my 1972 Aristocrat which is also a Guild," she recently said during a Q&A on Reddit.
Super, super sweeet!" (Photos and caption: Brittney Laurin Bowen)
