- 8:30pm- doors 7pm For Sheryl Crow, the title of her 7th album isn't just a location, it's a state of mind. "I grew up in a small town 100 miles from Memphis, and that informed not only my musical taste, but how I look at life," she says. "The music that came out of that part of the world is a part of who I am, and it's the biggest inspiration for what I do and why I do it." The album evokes a time when soul and passion filled the radio waves, when the sweat and joy of recording a session could be captured forever on wax. |
