Sheryl Crow Talks About How Michael Jackson and Don Henley Shaped Her Style

• Sheryl Crow released her breakthrough debut, Tuesday Night Music Club, in 1993.
• Her career as a performer stretches back well before 1993, to her days fronting a college cover band, to stints singing backup for Michael Jackson, Don Henley, and others.
• Sheryl Crow spoke with Paste about growing into a consummate performer and her career as a singer-songwriter.
• Her lessons learned while starting out include respecting your audience and figuring out who you are or who you want to be onstage, which takes time and a lot of mistakes.
• Crow’s first significant live performance was when she took over as the lead singer for a popular college band in which she had been the keyboard player.
• Don Henley ultimately advised her to stop giving her songs away and to record them herself, which shifted Crow’s trajectory towards becoming a recording artist-slash-rock star.
• Crow’s small early audiences were helpful in developing her performing skills and sense of self.
• She notes that making eye contact with the audience is essential to a great live show as it helps to create a connection between the performer and audience, which is what music has always been about.
• Crow’s favorite venues to play include those with mystical qualities, like Red Rocks outside of Denver and the Gorge out by Seattle, as well as those that are historic, like The Beacon in New York and The Troubadour in Los Angeles.
• Crow’s touring experiences with Michael Jackson and Don Henley provided her with an understanding of different styles of touring and helped her develop her craft as a live performer.
• She learned an invaluable lesson from revamping her biggest hit, “All I Wanna Do,” to keep it fresh for herself and for her audience. People want to hear the version they have an experience with, which takes them back to where they were when they first heard it or to a certain time in their life.
• Crow gets nervous before shows, especially when singing someone else’s song for the first time or while performing live on TV. After the count-in, she is off and running and does not have the luxury of worrying.
