Sheryl Crow (born February 11, 1962) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and actress. Her music blends rock, folk and pop into one mainstream sound, including soul like on 100 Miles from Memphis. She has won nine Grammy Awards.
Sheryl has performed with the Rolling Stones and has sung duets with Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, Luciano Pavarotti, John Mellencamp, Kid Rock, Michelle Branch and Sting among others, and appeared on backing vocals for Tina Turner and Don Henley. She has released seven studio albums, two compilations, and a live album, as well as contributing many songs to film soundtracks. Sheryl has sold 16 million albums in United States and 35 million albums worldwide and her newest album, 100 Miles from Memphis, was released on July 20, 2010. She has won nine Grammy Awards in her career. Recently she appeared on NBC’s 30 Rock, ABC’s Cougar Town and Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana Forever.
Sheryl released The Globe Sessions in 1998. 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 about a philandering ex-boyfriend.
Sheryl has refused to say who the song was about telling Billboard Magazine on the release of her album. “Oh, there will be just so much speculation, and because of that there’s great safety and protection in the fact that people will be guessing so many different people and I’m the only person who will ever really know. I’m really private about who I’ve had relationships with, and I don’t talk about them in the press. I don’t even really talk about them with the people around me.”
Despite the difficulties in recording the album, Sheryl told the BBC in 2005 that: “My favorite single is ‘My Favorite Mistake’; it was a lot of fun to record and it’s still a lot of fun to play.” 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. The song won the 1999 Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Other singles included “There Goes the Neighborhood”, “Anything But Down” and “The Difficult Kind”. Sheryl won Grammy best female rock vocal performance for “There Goes the Neighborhood” in 2001. The Globe Sessions peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200 chart, achieving US sales of 2 million as of January 2008.
