Sheryl Crow Song by Song Synopsis Song By Song Sheryl Crow Synopsis ! Strong Enough Sheryl Crow does not shy away from exposing her vulnerability through her music - and nowhere is this more evident than in “Strong Enough.” Sheryl’s candid and emotionally powerful music would go on to sell over 50 million albums worldwide – but the seeds of her big-time success were planted in a small town. After graduating from college, she moved to St. Louis to work as an elementary school teacher. Sheryl’s first professional gigs were in commercials, singing backup and writing jingles for corporate clients. When royalty checks started to trump her teacher’s salary, Sheryl began to envision a career making music. Sheryl left behind her teaching gig and headed to Los Angeles. She worked her way into several auditions as a backup singer and landed several gigs including Michael Jackson’s “Bad” world tour. There, Sheryl rubbed elbows with several stars and those connections paid off. She signed on with A&M Records to cut her first album…but all did not go as expected. When the album was shelved, she began playing music and writing regularly with a pack of LA musicians. Finding new inspiration, Sheryl released her first album: The Tuesday Night Music Club on August 3, 1993. The first two singles went under the radar before “Strong Enough” and its predecessor “All I Wanna Do” finally broke through. Although “Strong Enough” clearly reflected her inner strength – it also spoke honestly about Sheryl’s vulnerable side. Yet as her songs climbed the charts, resentment was stirring behind the scenes. The Tuesday Night Club group had come together casually, but with the album’s success, band members began to have hard feelings over the way business was handled. Despite the unsettling backlash, Sheryl proved she was “strong enough” to carry on: she picked herself up and went to work, doing what she does best, recording her music her way. If It Makes You Happy In February of 1997, Sheryl Crow was all smiles as she accepted the fifth Grammy of her career for “If I Makes You Happy.” Yet just a few years before, she was hard pressed to convince the L.A. industry she deserved a shot as a solo artist. Sheryl’s eventual success, so hard earned, proved to be bittersweet. Her breakout album, Tuesday Night Music Club, created resentment from her band- mates. Ready to shake off any bad vibes for her next record, Sheryl left the band and L.A. behind. She traveled to New Orleans with Tuesday Night producer Bill Botrel… but things didn’t go exactly as planned. After parting ways with her record producer, Sheryl was eager to maintain momentum. She took over producing and was soon joined by songwriter Jeff Trott. Still stinging from her former band mates’ criticism in the aftermath of the first album, Sheryl’s new songs had a sharper edge. And nowhere was this attitude more apparent than in “If It Makes You Happy.” The song proved to be an anthem that resonated with listeners and Sheryl’s decision to take over as producer earned her an unquestioned hit. The record sold more than 5 million copies and paved the way for two Grammys. Despite the success, Sheryl was still faced with emotional challenges. While she continued to battle her inner demons, Sheryl found a lifeline to happiness: making music and a stunning music video helped connect her with millions of fans. My Favorite Mistake By the summer 1998, Sheryl Crow’s wildest dreams of becoming an artist were coming true. With her debut album, Tuesday Night Music Club, and self-titled 2nd album both winning Grammies, Sheryl earned the respect of fans, critics !and peers. To avoid burnout, she decided to seek a change of scenery and moved to New York City. The vitality and energy of Manhattan served as inspiration for her next round of songs. Booking time in the Globe Studios, Sheryl was joined by songwriter and long-time collaborator Jeff Trott. A tape of forgotten jam session and Sheryl’s willingness to tap into her personal life for inspiration led to the creation “My Favorite Mistake.” The tune proved to be one of her most !intimate songs to date. The song’s nostalgic view of a relationship gone by, led to rampant speculation over the identity of Sheryl’s mystery muse. When her third album, The Globe !Sessions, was released, “My Favorite Mistake” became the lead single. The Globe Sessions won a Grammy for Rock Album of the Year and helped cement her position as a rock star. Just few years later, Sheryl was diagnosed with breast cancer – which shifted her priorities and spurred her to continue !the personal songwriting that began with “My Favorite Mistake.” Redemption Day In 1996, Sheryl Crow began recording her first solo album. After the pop-rock success of her debut record Tuesday Night Music Club, Sheryl was ready to write a song that made a social statement, following in the footsteps of musical heroes like Bob Dylan. Ignoring the pressure to conform to the type of songs that made her a breakout star, Sheryl found inspiration during a trip to war-torn Bosnia. “Redemption Day” was born, but the deep track was not released as a single. But the song wouldn’t be lost to time. In 2003, Rick Rubin was continuing work with Johnny Cash on his latest American Recordings album. The project featured a stripped down sound – often just Cash and his guitar – and helped to revitalize the music legend’s career. While gathering material for the new record, Rubin presented Cash with Sheryl’s “Redemption Day.” Cash loved the song and called Sheryl to get her feedback during the recording process. But before the album could be released, Cash passed away. Meanwhile, Sheryl began showing a renewed interest in country music,. She moved to Nashville and was embraced the vibrant musical community. Finally in 2010, seven years after Cash recorded her song, Sheryl learned “Redemption Day” would be released, making the track list for American IV: Ain’t No Grave. The cover gave the song a new cult following. In 2011, Crow left her label to pursue a country music. On the advice of neighbor Brad Paisley, she signed with Warner Music Nashville and released her first country album Feels Like Home..

  • Pat Garrett Bio
    Pat Garrett Bio Country entertainer Pat Garrett is one of music’s best-kept secrets. The vocal powerhouse, who’s shared the stage with the likes of Johnny Cash, George Jones, and Willie Nelson, and has released seven albums of original music, has a host of other credits to his name. Most people are surprised to learn that the prolific singer/songwriter penned the song, “Bad Woman”, recorded by acclaimed British rockers, The Arctic Monkeys. Or that his biker song and video, “Wild Hog, has over 100,000 hits on YouTube. Or that he helped launch the career of Taylor Swift. Or that he’s been on the GOP trail entertaining at Palin/McCain rallies with his original song, “Moose-Shootin’ Mama”. While his rich baritone voice is perfectly showcased on one of his romantic original ballads, like wedding favorite “Hold Onto You”, he is not one to shy away from a stimulating debate. A prime example is his latest song, “I’m Voting for Donald for President” in support of presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump. He wrote the song soon after the billionaire businessman announced his candidacy in summer of 2015, amidst a firestorm of criticism. The song ad video are being released nationally in May 2016. This isn’t the first time Garrett’s thrown his cowboy hat into the political ring. His infectious, upbeat single “Moose Shootin’ Mama,” a tribute to former candidate for Vice President, Sarah Palin was one of the most talked about songs of the 2008 political season, leading to coverage on major news outlets, Fox and ABC, and a stint as the entertainer on the GOP trail.

  • Aaron Lee Tasjan Karma for Cheap Most People Know Aaron Lee Tasjan As One of the Wittiest, Most Offbeat, Brilliant, Weed- Smokin
    Aaron Lee Tasjan Karma for Cheap Most people know Aaron Lee Tasjan as one of the wittiest, most offbeat, brilliant, weed- smokin’ & LSD microdosin’ Americana troubadours writing and singing songs today. And the New York Times, NPR and Rolling Stone will all gladly corroborate. But steel yourselves, folk fans, because he’s about to follow his restless muse straight out from under the weight of everyone’s expectations into the kind of glammy, jingle-jangle power-pop- and- psych-tinged sounds he hasn’t dabbled in since his younger days playing lead guitar for a late-period incarnation of The New York Dolls. Really, the roots of Tasjan’s new record, Karma for Cheap, stretch even deeper, drinking up the sounds of a Southern California childhood spent listening to The Beatles while riding around with his mom at the wheel of their navy blue Volvo station wagon— back to the very first pre-teen year he picked up a six-string and started figuring out all the pretty little chords in those Lennon-McCartney tunes. Back to the pure, blissful unfiltered innocence of falling in love with music for the first time. But more on that later. First, let’s ponder the brutish realities of the American Swamp. Aaron Lee Tasjan says he aims to use his music for good, but he’s no protest singer. And Karma for Cheap isn’t some heavy-handed, didactic political record cramming a set of talking points down anyone’s throat. It’s a finely tuned rock & roll seismograph measuring the dark and uncertain vibrations of the time in which it was created.

  • Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget
    Chapter 1 Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget In This Chapter ▶ Gathering song ideas from anywhere ▶ Organizing and tracking your thoughts and inspirations ▶ Documenting your ideas his book is for everyone who shares the dream of harnessing the song- Twriting power we all have within. You’ve come to the right place if your heart keeps telling you to write a song, but your mind is uncertain as to the process of the craft or what’s required to create a really good song. You bought the right book if you’re wondering how to collect and organize your ideas. You have found the right resource if you have pieces of songs lying in notebooks and on countless cassettes but can’t seem to put the pieces together. This book is for you if you have racks of finished song demos but don’t know what to do next to get them heard. When you know the elements that make up a great song and how the pros go about writing one, you can get on the right path to creating one of your own. Unless you’re lucky enough to have fully finished songs come to you in your deepest dreams, or to somehow take dictation from the ghosts of Tin Pan Alley (the publishing area located in New York City in the 1930s and 1940s), most of us need to summon the forces, sources, reasons, and seasons that give us the necessary motivation to draw a song from our heart of hearts. Given that initial spark, you then need the best means of gathering those ideas, organizing them, putting them into form, and documenting them as they roll COPYRIGHTEDin — before it’s too late and they MATERIAL roll right out again! Have you ever noticed how you can remember a powerful dream just after you’ve awakened only for it to vanish into thin air in the light of day? Song ideas can be just as illusive.
