The daughter of a piano teacher and trumpet player, Sheryl Crow’s childhood was always musical and creative. While music has always been a part of the singer’s life, Sheryl Crow took a roundabout way to begin her journey as a solo artist. While in college, Crow taught music lessons to various students and after graduation she began writing jingles for various companies including McDonalds and Toyota.
Moving away from advertising, Sheryl Crow began working as a backing singer and toured with artists such as Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. Eventually Sheryl Crow’s song writing abilities were noticed and she was given the opportunity to write for artists such as Tina Turner and Celine Dion.
Sheryl Crow’s big solo breakthrough came in 1993 when she began playing with musician and songwriter Kevin Gilbert. The pair played with a group of other musicians and the collective played and promoted Sheryl’s songs. Eventually this turned into Sheryl Crow’s first album, “Tuesday Night Music Club”. The album took its time to pick up a following but the overnight success of the song “All I Wanna Do” catapulted the album to mainstream success after the track went to number two on the US Billboard chart.
This initial solo offering was so successful that it won Sheryl Crow three Grammy Awards and set the stage for her second Grammy Award winning album, “Sheryl Crow”. This second album, which was released in 1996, climbed to number six on the US Billboard charts and was eventually certified triple-platinum. Crow produced the album herself and the singles "If It Makes You Happy” and "Everyday Is a Winding Road" were both top ten hits for the singer.
Cheryl Crow’s subsequent six studio albums – “The Globe Sessions”, “C'mon, C'mon”, “Wildflower”, “Detours”, “100 Miles from Memphis” and “Feels Like Home” – were all top ten hits in the US and five of the six peaked within the top five spots. Her singles have found top 10 success all over the world and her global tours have attracted tens of thousands of fans.
Over the years Sheryl Crow has had the opportunity to work with artists such as Kid Rock, Michelle Branch, the Rolling Stones, Stevie Nicks and Tony Bennett, amongst others. A true talent and hard worker, Sheryl Crow will certainly continue to release unforgettable tracks for years to come.
One of the signs that a musician has well and truly earned the title “artist” is when they’re able to take the sound that they’re famous for and explore every corner of it while still remaining true to their original sound. On a similar note, one might think they know Sheryl Crow. They might have her down as a bringer of middle of the road AOR, with about as much edge as a basketball - and maybe on record that’s true, it’s still a matter of opinion. In the live arena however, that “middle of the road AOR” takes on a life of its own. When presented with an audience, everything the Kennet, Missouri born, Nashville based singer and multi-instrumentalist becomes a master class in rootsy, southern fried rock'n'roll, with as much attitude as she has hooks to die for. Switching between guitar and bass while providing lead vocals and being the focal point of the show, Crow is a consummate performer. She’s confident enough to let the songs speak for themselves with energised, electrified takes on her expansive back catalogue of hits like "All I Wanna Do," "Leaving Las Vegas" or "Steve McQueen." However, space is made for more reflective moments of acoustic Americana captured on later albums like "100 Miles From Memphis." There is nothing quite like the feeling of taking a chance on an artist and having it pay off, so if you have a hankering for some southern rock with smooth pop song writing at its core, you can’t go wrong with some Sheryl Crow.
