Sheryl Crow TicketsSheryl Suzanne Crow was born February 11, 1962, in Kennett, MO. Her
parents had both performed in swing orchestras, her father on trumpet
and her mother as a singer; her mother was also a piano teacher, and
ensured that all her daughters learned the instrument starting in grade
school. Crow wrote her first song at age 13, and majored in music at the
University of Missouri, where she also played keyboards in a cover band
called Cashmere. After graduating, she spent a couple of years in St.
Louis working as a music teacher for autistic children. She sang with
another cover band, P.M., by night, and also recorded local advertising
jingles on the side. In
1986, Crow packed up and moved to Los Angeles to try her luck in the
music business. She was able to land some more jingle-singing
assignments, and got her first big break when she successfully
auditioned to be a backup singer on Michael Jackson's international Bad
tour. In concert, she often sang the female duet part on "I Just Can't
Stop Loving You," and was inaccurately rumored by the tabloids to have
been Jackson's lover. After spending two years on the road with Jackson,
Crow resumed her search for a record deal, but found that record
companies were only interested in making her a dance-pop singer, which
was not at all to her taste. Although her songwriting style was firmly anchored to the rock tradition, she wasn't a slave to it -- her free-associative, reference-laden poetry could hardly have been the product of any era but the '90s. Her production not only kept pace with contemporary trends, but sometimes even pushed the envelope of what sounds could be heard on a classicist rock album, especially on her self-titled sophomore effort. All of this made Crow one of the most dependable stars of the decade, and she showed no signs of relinquishing her hard-won success in the new millennium. |
