Sheryl Crow in session

Bob Harris is joined in the studio by Sheryl Crow, who plays songs from her most recent country album and discusses her life in Nashville.

Sheryl Crow joins Bob in session, playing songs from her most recent country album and discussing her life in Nashville.

Of her move, Sheryl says "Country music is rightly suspicious of carpetbaggers who jump on a bandwagon, but in my case, this world in Nashville really does feel like home. I grew up three and a half hours from Nashville, and my parents just moved out of that home that I grew up in recently. So I grew up in a community that was all farmland and churches and school and a town square. So country is where I come from, and that's the kind of life I wanted to give my kids, and you can find that sort of life here in Nashville. Even though Nashville has so much more to offer, there is still a small town feel that I love."

As Crow recalls, "Back when I was growing up, the outside world wasn't much of our experience, and that's different now. But we grew up with two radio stations that played country, but now the world is much more connected wherever you are. Clearly, I'm also a girl who also loves to rock and fell hard for the Rolling Stones and Dylan too - but you'll notice my favourite rockers also had close ties to country music too. And I love being part of the community here in Nashville, and the fact that my kids are growing up inside of that community. For me, it's been amazing to not only be around so many other artists and music people who go to church together, and support each other's school fundraisers, and basically have a real sense of community here.".
