Sheryl Crow Biography

Sheryl Crow’s first career wasn’t as a musician – it was as a full-time teacher. But it wouldn’t be long before her true calling would become clear.

Sheryl Crow’s debut album, Tuesday Night Music Club, was released in 1993, and included her first hit single, “Leaving Las Vegas,” and the equally successful “All I Wanna Do.” The album garnered Sheryl Crow a Grammy for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and set the stage for a career which has since lasted well into the new millennium.

For the remainder of the 90’s and well into the 2000’s, Crow continued to release hit album after hit album, including: Sheryl Crow (1996), The Globe Sessions (1997), C’mon C’mon (2002), Wildflower (2005), Detours (2008), and 10 Miles from Memphis (2010.) Notable singles include: “Strong Enough,” “If It Makes You Happy,” “Everyday is a Winding Road,” “My Favorite Mistake,” “The First Cut is the Deepest,” and “Good is Good.”

Crow has also provided some iconic songs for the big screen, including the song
“Real Gone” for the soundtrack of the movie Cars; she also served as the voice of Elvis in the film. Her song “Try Not to Remember,” from the film Home of the Brave, earned her a Golden Globe nomination in 2006. A year later, for The Bee Movie, Sheryl Crow recorded a cover of “Here Comes the Sun.”

Today, in the new millennium, Sheryl Crow continues to perform and record. Her latest album, Be Myself, arrived in April of 2017 and features the singles “Halfway there” and “Be Myself.” Crow is also a breast cancer survivor, and after being diagnosed in 2006, she underwent minimally invasive surgery and radiation therapy to become cancer-free. Not surprisingly, she is one of the strongest advocates for women’s health and breast cancer awareness today.
