C'mon America 2003 features 13 live performances from eight-time Grammy winner Sheryl
Crow. The set includes more than two hours of footage, including the No.
1 hit "All I Wanna Do" and the Top 10 hits "Everyday Is a Winding
Road," "Leaving Las Vegas," and "If It Makes You Happy."
Sheryl Crow's fresh, updated spin on classic roots rock made her one of
the most popular mainstream rockers of the '90s. Her albums were loose
and eclectic on the surface, yet were generally tied together by
polished, professional songcraft. Crow's sunny, good-time rockers and
world-weary ballads were radio staples for much of the '90s, and she was
a perennial favorite at Grammy time. Although her songwriting style was
firmly anchored to the rock tradition, she wasn't a slave to it her
free-associative, reference-laden poetry could hardly have been the
product of any era but the '90s. Her production not only kept pace with
contemporary trends, but sometimes even pushed the envelope of what
sounds could be heard on a classicist rock album, especially on her
self-titled sophomore effort. All of this made Crow one of the most
dependable stars of the decade, and she showed no signs of relinquishing
her hard-won success in the new millennium.
Sheryl Suzanne Crow was born February 11, 1962, in Kennett, Missouri.
Her parents had both performed in swing orchestras, her father on
trumpet and her mother as a singer; her mother was also a piano teacher,
and ensured that all her daughters learned the instrument starting in
grade school. Crow wrote her first song at age 13, and majored in music
at the University of Missouri, where she also played keyboards in a
cover band called Cashmere. After graduating, she spent a couple of
years in St. Louis working as a music teacher for autistic children. She
sang with another cover band, P.M., by night, and also recorded local
advertising jingles on the side. In 1986, Crow packed up and moved to
Los Angeles to try her luck in the music business. She was able to land
some more jingle-singing assignments, and got her first big break when
she successfully auditioned to be a backup singer on Michael Jackson's
international Bad tour. In concert, she often sang the female duet part
on "I Just Can't Stop Loving You," and was inaccurately rumored by the
tabloids to have been Jackson's lover. After spending two years on the
road with Jackson, Crow resumed her search for a record deal, but found
that record companies were only interested in making her a dance-pop
singer, which was not at all to her taste.
Frustrated, Crow suffered a bout of severe depression that lasted about
six months. She revived her career as a session vocalist, however, and
performed with the likes of Sting, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder,
Foreigner, Joe Cocker, Sinéad 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. However, thanks to boyfriend
Kevin Gilbert, an engineer who'd attempted to remix her ill-fated
album, Crow fell in with a loose group of industry pros that included
Gilbert, Bill Bottrell, David Baerwald, David Ricketts, Brian MacLeod,
and Dan Schwartz. Dubbed the Tuesday Night Music Club, this collective
met once a week at Bottrell's Pasadena recording studio to drink, jam,
and work out material. In this informal, collaborative setting, Crow was
able to get her creative juices flowing again, and the group agreed to
make its newest member the only one with a recording contract the focal
point.
Crow and the collective worked out enough material for an album, and
with Bottrell serving as producer, she recorded her new official debut,
titled Tuesday Night Music Club in tribute. The record was released in
August 1993 and proved slow to take off. Lead single "Run Baby Run" made
little impact, and while "Leaving Las Vegas" attracted some attention,
it reached only the lower half of the charts. A&M took one last shot
by releasing "All I Wanna Do," a song partly written by poet Wyn
Cooper, as a single. With its breezy, carefree outlook, "All I Wanna Do"
became one of the biggest summer singles of 1994, falling just one
position short of number one. Suddenly, Tuesday Night Music Club started
flying out of stores, and spawned a Top Five follow-up hit in "Strong
Enough" (plus another minor single in "Can't Cry Anymore"). Crow was a
big winner at the Grammys in early 1995, taking home honors for Best New
Artist, Best Female Rock Vocal, and Record of the Year (the latter two
for "All I Wanna Do"). Her surprising sweep pushed Tuesday Night Music
Club into the realm of genuine blockbuster, as its sales swept past the
seven million mark. After close to a decade of dues-paying, Crow was a
star.
Unfortunately, success came at a price. In 1994, Crow had been invited
to perform "Leaving Las Vegas" on Late Night with David Letterman. In a
brief interview segment, Letterman asked if the song was
autobiographical, and Crow offhandedly agreed that it was. In actuality,
the song was mostly written by David Baerwald, based on the book by his
good friend John O'Brien (which had also inspired the film). Having
been burned by the industry already, some of the Tuesday Night Music
Club took Crow's comment as a refusal to give proper credit for their
contributions. Baerwald in particular felt betrayed, and things only got
worse when O'Brien committed suicide not long after Crow's Letterman
appearance. Although O'Brien's family stepped forward to affirm that
Crow had nothing to do with the tragedy, the rift with Baerwald was
already irreparable. Some Club members bitterly charged that Crow's role
in the collaborative process was rather small, and that the talent on
display actually had little to do with her. Tragedy struck again in 1996
when Crow's ex-boyfriend, Kevin Gilbert, was found dead of autoerotic
asphyxiation.
Stung by the accusations, Crow set out to prove her legitimacy with her
second album when the heavy touring for Tuesday Night Music Club finally
ended. Bill Bottrell was originally slated to produce the record, but
fell out with Crow very early on, and the singer ended up taking over
production duties herself. However, she did bring in the noted team of
Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake as assistant producer and engineer,
respectively. Froom and Blake were known for the strange sonic
experimentation they brought to projects by roots rockers (the Latin
Playboys) and singer/songwriters (Richard Thompson, Suzanne Vega), and
they helped Crow craft a similarly non-traditional record. Released in
the fall of 1996, Sheryl Crow definitely bore the stamp of the singer's
personality and songwriting voice, especially in the idiosyncratic
lyrics; plus, she was now doing most of the writing, usually with her
guitarist, Jeff Trott, proving that she could cut it without her
estranged collaborators. The singles "If It Makes You Happy," "Everyday
Is a Winding Road," and "A Change Would Do You Good" were all radio
smashes, and "Home" also became a minor hit. Sheryl Crow went triple
platinum, and Crow brought home Grammys for Best Rock Album and another
Best Female Rock Vocal (for "If It Makes You Happy").
Crow toured with the Lilith Fair package during the summer of 1997 (the
first of several tours), and subsequently wrote and performed the title
theme to the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. In the fall of 1998,
she returned with her third album, The Globe Sessions. A more
straightforward, traditionalist rock record than Sheryl Crow, The Globe
Sessions didn't dominate the airwaves in quite the same fashion, but it
did become her third straight platinum-selling, Top Ten LP, and it won
her another Grammy for Best Rock Album. It also spawned two mid-sized
hits in the Top 20: "My Favorite Mistake" and "Anything But Down." In
1999, she contributed a Grammy-winning cover of Guns N' Roses' "Sweet
Child o' Mine" to the soundtrack of the Adam Sandler comedy Big Daddy.
She also performed a special free concert in New York's Central Park,
with an array of guest stars including Keith Richards, Eric Clapton,
Chrissie Hynde, the Dixie Chicks, Stevie Nicks, and Sarah McLachlan. The
show was broadcast on Fox and later released as the album Live in
Central Park, just in time for the holidays. "There Goes the
Neighborhood" won her another Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal;
however, partly because of some shaky performances, the album flopped
badly, not even going gold.
Hit with a case of writer's block, Crow took some time to deliver her
fourth studio LP. In the meantime, she produced several tracks on Stevie
Nicks' 2001 album, Trouble in Shangri-La, and also recorded a duet with
Kid Rock, "Picture," for his album Cocky. Finally, in the spring of
2002, Crow released C'mon C'mon, which entered the LP charts at number
two for her highest positioning yet. It quickly went platinum, and the
lead single, "Soak Up the Sun," was a Top 20 hit and another ubiquitous
radio smash. The follow-up, "Steve McQueen," was also a lesser hit. At
the beginning of 2005 it was announced that there would be two
simultaneously released new albums available by the end of the year. The
project was then scaled back to the single-disc Wildflower, which saw
release at the end of September. Crow was forced to take time off from
her musical career in 2006 after being diagnosed with stage 1 breast
cancer. After successful treatment, she returned in 2008 with her sixth
studio album, Detours. The soul-inspired 100 Miles from Memphis followed
in 2010 and featured guest spots from Keith Richards, Justin
Timberlake, and Citizen Cope. By the end of that year she had performed
with Loretta Lynn and Miranda Lambert on the title track of a Lynn
tribute album, Coal Miner's Daughter. This country-focused collaboration
was an early indicator of the direction that Crow's work would
eventually take in the years that followed.
A creatively quiet 2011 ended with her appearance on William Shatner's
space-themed third studio album, Seeking Major Tom. Crow's delicate,
piano-fueled cover of K.I.A.'s "Mrs Major Tom" was generally received by
critics as one of the highlights of the disc. Then, in summer 2012, she
revealed details of another health scare. Although Crow had been
diagnosed with a brain tumor at the end of 2011, it was found to be
benign and six months on, she was quoted in many news reports as feeling
healthy and happy. That November she issued the download-only,
politically charged "Woman in the White House." It was her first
self-penned material to appear in a couple of years and was her most
out-and-out mainstream country track to date. March 2013 saw the release
of "Easy," the first single to appear ahead of Feels Like Home, a
country-steeped full-length that appeared in September of 2013.
