Sheryl Crow: Albums
built 221 days ago
While her hooks remain determined to get into your head, Sheryl Crow ... has carefully crafted her image in the video age. Her next album, The Globe Sessions, spawned the hit single, "My Favorite Mistake," the Samuel Bayer-directed video of which featured a sultry, backlit Crow giving the camera lens her best bedroom-eyed stare. However, with her long-awaited newest album, C'mon C'mon, she continues to establish herself as one of the strongest and most resilient female voices in rock 'n' roll, making her image secondary to her music itself.

Sheryl Crow catapulted onto the global stage in 1993 with her debut solo album Tuesday Night Music Club. The album sold over six million copies and won Sheryl three Grammy awards including “Best New Artist.” Since then Sheryl Crow has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, received nine Grammy awards and collaborated with renowned artists including Kid Rock, The Rolling Stones and Willie Nelson. Detours is Sheryl Crow’s sixth studio album and was recorded on her farm in Nashville.

Sheryl went on to release more albums -- Sheryl Crow (1996), The Globe Sessions (1998), C'mon, C'mon (2002), and Wildflower (2005) -- and win a slew of accolades, including a handful of Grammy awards over the years. After two ended engagements and the break up of high-profiled relationships throughout the years (most notably to Eric Clapton and Owen Wilson), Sheryl Crow finally found love with cyclist Lance Armstrong. The two became engaged in September 2005, but broke up in January 2006.

Sheryl began working as a vocalist for Sting, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Foreigner, Joe Cocker, Sinead O'Conner, and Don Henley. Also, Wynonna Judd, Celine Dion, and Eric Clapton had Sheryl write songs for them. Her collaborations paid off when she was noticed by producer Hugh Padgham, who signed her with A&M. Crow wasn't satisfied with the sound of her debut album, so it wasn't released.

Frustrated, Crow suffered a bout of severe depression that lasted around six months. She revived her career as a session vocalist... and performed with the likes of Sting, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Foreigner, Joe Cocker, Sinead O'Connor, and Don Henley, the latter of whom she toured with behind The End of the Innocence. She also developed her songwriting skills enough to have her compositions recorded by the likes of Wynonna Judd, Celine Dion, and Eric Clapton. Thanks to her session work, she made a connection with producer Hugh Padgham, who got her signed to A&M. Padgham and Crow went into the studio in 1991 to record her debut album, but Padgham's pop leanings resulted in a slick, ballad-laden record that didn't reflect the sound Crow wanted. The album was shelved, and fearing that she'd let her best opportunity slip through her fingers, Crow sank into another near-crippling depression that lingered for nearly a year and a half.

In 1998 Crow released The Globe Sessions. During this period, she discussed in interviews having gone through a deep depression, and there was speculation about a brief affair with Eric Clapton. The debut single from this album, "My Favorite Mistake", was rumored to be about him, although Crow claims otherwise. 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.
