Sheryl Crow has announced her new album, Pick You Up, and released the single “Freedom Bus” featuring Jesse Welles.
Pick You Up is due out October 9th on Old Green Barn Productions. The record’s seven songs were written by Crow and her long-time collaborator Jeff Trott. The album “delves into personal reflection,” a press release said, while Crow returns to the rock Americana singer-songwriter sound “that made so many people fall in love” with her in ’90s. On the album, she explores themes of hope and unity, and showcases the “honest songwriting and authenticity” that have shaped her career. Fans can pre-order the Pick You Up here.
On “Freedom Bus,” Crow is also showcasing her funny side, a great combination for Welles’ clever, grin-cracking sentimentality. With a sardonic but sincere sense of humor, Crow starts the classic Americana song with the lines “I guess today is Judgement Day/ Since everybody’s got something to say.” Welles adds harmonies on the chorus, chiming in on “Whoever said freedom was free/ There ain’t a freedom without history/ And folks who died for you and me/ So don’t be an asshole, let every one be.”
Crow, a nine-time Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, will perform at stops on Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival in late August. She’s also opening for Tedeschi Trucks Band in September. Fans can look for tickets here.
The singer-songwriter’s last studio album was 2024’s Evolution.
