Sheryl Crow
CEU - September 24th 1996
Yes, I did go all the way to Price, Utah just to see Sheryl Crow.
107.5, The End, was giving away her self-titled CD and tickets to her concert at CEU. I just happened to be the seventh and winning caller. Andrea was the DJ giving them away. But no, I didn't win just because she's my friend.
I called my friend, Kim Tate, and we headed out for Price. The concert was at the CEU gymnasium, which is about the size of my old high
school's gym. Since neither of us was interested in the warm-up group (Pete Drooge), we went out to see if we could see Sheryl Crow. She
came out of her bus right before going on stage so we didn't get the opportunity to have anything signed. So we went in and watched the show.
During the last song we decided to go out and see if we could catch her on her way out. We were standing at the back doors when they opened and came out. I said, "Sheryl, will you sign stuff?" She came over and was very friendly. She came over and signed my CD cover, my ticket stub, and Kim's ticket stub.
The most surprising thing about meeting Sheryl was that she is so incredibly short and tiny! I would have never guessed. And she was even wearing major platform shoes.
About Sheryl Crow
After many years of paying her dues as a backup singer for Don Henley, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, and Michael Jackson, Sheryl Crow finally got a chance to make her own album in 1993. Growing out of a series of informal jam sessions with L.A. studio veterans, the relaxed yet gritty blues-rock of Tuesday Night Music Club became a hit in the Spring of 1994, thanks to the single "Leaving Las Vegas," a slightly surreal travelogue which only shows the beginning of her talent. Later that summer, the laidback "All I Want to Do" was released and it became an across-the-boards success, pushing Tuesday Night Music Club into the Top Ten and into multi-platinum status. Her 1996 self-titled follow-up was also hugely successful.-- Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All-Music Guide
