Welcome back, Sheryl!!

Crow Whipping Up Something ‘Good’
Sheryl Crow’s as-yet-untitled new album will arrive Sept. 27 via Interscope, and will be preceded a month before by the single “Good Is Good.” According to the artist’s official Web site, the new album will include 10 tracks and will be accompanied by a tour that is in the planning stages.
Crow exclusively revealed to Billboard in December that she was hoping to release two separate albums in 2005, one that she described as an “artist” record, and the other pegged as a “pop” record. But based on the Sept. 26 release date, it appears unlikely that Crow would release a second set before year’s end.
The artist admitted her relationship with championship cyclist Lance Armstrong has made an obvious impact on her new material.
“I am writing a lot more love songs because I’m really happy in my life, and I’m in a really positive relationship, but there’s also so much stuff to write about in the world,” she said. “It’s a really interesting time to be an artist.”
While working on her own music, Crow has also recorded tracks for three upcoming tribute albums. Her rendition of “For Free” will appear on a Joni Mitchell tribute, while a cover of “I Need Your Love So Bad” is pegged for a B.B. King collection and “To Love Somebody” is being earmarked for a Bee Gees’ covers set.
