 Throughout her career, Sheryl Crow has proven herself to be a remarkably consistent Jack-of-all-trades. Since being catapulted into stardom by 1993's Tuesday Night Music Club, Crow has maintained her stature as one of rock's leading ladies with a string of Top-10 rootsy-pop albums, on which she played guitar, bass, harmonica, accordion, various drums and several different keyboard instruments, and wrote or co-wrote most of her own hit songs, including "All I Wanna Do," "Everyday is a Winding Road," "If It Makes You Happy" and "Soak Up the Sun." Following a run of CDs that she either produced herself or co-produced, her 2008 Detours CD was helmed by her original producer, Bill Bottrell.
Along the way, the former competitive swimmer and all-state high school track star has kept some pretty fast company, touring as a singer with Michael Jackson, performing on albums by Don Henley, Stevie Nicks, Counting Crows, Kenny Loggins, Taj Mahal, Johnny Cash, Los Lobos and many more, and dueting with, among others, Mick Jagger, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson and Kid Rock. Bob Dylan, of all people, has mentored Crow, she was rumored to have been romantically linked with Eric Clapton and she very nearly married seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong.
In recent years, Crow has survived breast cancer and used her well-known voice to speak up for social causes, and in 2007 the thrice engaged-but-never-married Crow adopted a baby boy who she's raising on her own.
