Sheryl Crow Greatest Hits Due Out In October
Sheryl Crow will release an as-yet-untitled greatest hits package in October. The set will include the singer’s newly recorded cover of Rod Stewart’s “The First Cut Is The Deepest.” The untitled release was first set to hit the street in November, but was moved up a month for unknown reasons.
Crow’s career has blossomed from her early days when she was a back-up singer for Michael Jackson. Since releasing her 1993 debut album Tuesday Night Music Club, the 40-plus-year-old singer has amassed several Top 10 hits. She’s also been fortunate enough to record with the likes of Kid Rock, the Dixie Chicks, Stevie Nicks, Johnny Cash, and the Counting Crows.
Crow has built her reputation on her songwriting and story-telling. She told LAUNCH she’s still honing her skills in the hopes of one day writing a song for the ages. “You’re always trying to write that great song,” Crow said. “You know, I still hear ‘Yesterday’ or ‘Girl From North Country’ and those songs still really move me and there’s a real timelessness about them. I think that’s what really propels me, is to write that song that’s just so deep in the soul that you want to hear it over and over. And when you hear it again and you haven’t heard it for a while it still makes you feel something.”
Crow’s next public performance is as part of Farm Aid. The festival takes place September 7 in Columbus, Ohio.
