The Track Star Podcast

Show Notes

On today’s episode of the Track Star Podcast, we are honored to be joined by a once-in-a-generation, 9-time Grammy-winning artist, singer, and performer. Jack is joined by Sheryl Crow, who launched herself into the forefront of the music world with her hit single, “All I Wanna Do”, and quickly cemented her superstar status by winning the Grammys for ‘Best New Artist,’ ‘Record of the Year’ and ‘Best Female Pop Vocal Performance’ just two years later. Since then, she has won six more Grammys and has become a major advocate for environmental causes and breast cancer awareness.

Sheryl Crow shares her journey to stardom and how the legendary artists and songwriters she worked with throughout her career, like Prince and Dolly Parton, shaped her music. Through personal stories and anecdotes, Sheryl Crow makes us feel like we are right there with her as she reflects on the experiences that made her the star she became: both inspiring and heartbreaking. Sheryl’s new album Pick You Up will be released on October 9th.
