The Beauty of Song, Part Two: Sheryl Crow

The one and only. :-)



Sheryl Crow is the greatest American rock and roll songstress of the past twenty years.

A one-time music teacher in her native Missouri, Sheryl Crow spent the eighties trying to make it as a recording artist and, in 1993, finally broke through with her second attempt at a debut album, Tuesday Night Music Club. The album, which featured the hits "All I Wanna Do" and "Strong Enough,"sold seven million copies.



Every subsequent album she's done has gone platinum, and she has continued to have hit singles: "If It Makes You Happy," "Every Day Is a Winding Road," "Soak Up the Sun," and a cover of Cat Stevens's "The First Cut Is the Deepest."

Sheryl Crow released a Christmas album in 2008, and at this writing is preparing a new studio LP for 2010.
