Debuting Friday, the Showtime documentary
“Sheryl” profiles enduring, award-winning
singer-songwriter Crow.
‘Sheryl’ recaps music star Crow’s life ...

Adventure
Awaits!
Thousands of titles
All that Sheryl Crow wants to do is
have some fun. And through her many
years of making music, she’s earned it.
After debuting at the South by
Southwest festival in March, director
Amy Scott’s documentary “Sheryl”
gets its television premiere Friday, May
6, on Showtime. Besides tracing the
career that has brought the much-
traveled Crow nine Grammy Awards,
it also considers her relationships
(encompassing a broken engagement
to cyclist Lance Armstrong), her bouts
with breast cancer and a brain tumor,
and her role as an adoptive single
parent. Keith Richards, Laura Dern, Joe
Walsh, Emmylou Harris and Brandi
Carlile are among friends and peers
who offer comments.
“I’ve been asked over the years about
doing a documentary,” says Crow, who
was a music teacher before she entered
the industry herself. “I’ve always felt
like documentaries were told after
someone has already gone on after a
fiery plane crash, or I just didn’t feel
like it was time for me or for my story
to be told.
“It was my manager – who’s been
with me from the very, very beginning,
which is 30 years now – that said,
‘Look, you have a powerful story. You
have seen your business change. You
have grown most of your life in the
world of music and in the world of
being well-known for that, and you
have a story to tell. And it’s time for
you to tell that story.’ ”
Besides “All I Wanna Do,” “Sheryl”
expectedly covers such Crow hits as
“Leaving Las Vegas,” “Strong Enough,”
“If It Makes You Happy,” “Everyday
Is a Winding Road,” “My Favorite
Mistake” and “Soak Up the Sun.”
Crow reflects, “When ‘All I Wanna
Do’ came out, we’d already been out
(touring) for a year before that song
won the Grammys and really put us on
the map, and then we had to tour for
another year and a half. And we started
sort of reworking that song and making
it fun and cool, but people didn’t want
to hear it that way. And this was a very
big lesson for me: People want to hear
it the way they hear it on the radio.”
For as many times as she has played
her popular tunes, Crow maintains it
makes her happy to still draw upon
them. “It’s been one of the prides and
joys of having this extremely long
career that the people that started out
with me are still in the picture. We
went through all the hard times, the
low points, the high points ... and we’ve
come out of it kind of like these wise,
old (folks) sitting on the rocking chair
on the front porch, talking about the
young people.”
