Vernon brings the big tunes

Bone fide rock icon Sheryl Crow chooses her Tracks of My Years. Plus there’s Album and Record Of The Week; and we dive into Vernon's Vault and Ten To The Top.

Singer-songwriter and nine-time Grammy Award-winner Sheryl Crow takes on a 10 song musical journey in Tracks Of My Years.

Sheryl’s career began as a backing singer for the likes of Tina Turner, Don Henley, Stevie Nicks and Michael Jackson, plus she also wrote songs for the likes of Wynonna Judd and Celine Dion.

Stepping out of the shadows, Sheryl released her first album ‘Tuesday Night Music Club’ in 1993 to critical acclaim, and she went on to sell 50 million records, with massive singles like 'If It Makes You Happy', 'Everyday Is a Winding Road', 'My Favourite Mistake', and 'Soak Up the Sun'.

Also known for her love of country music, she’s performed at the CMA’s with Loretta Lynn, Brad Paisley and Kid Rock over the years, as well as duetting and performing with other greats such as The Stones, Stevie Nicks, Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, Luciano Pavarotti, Willie Nelson, Smokey Robinson and BB King.

Earlier this year she released her eleventh full-length studio album 'Evolution', and has just completed a summer tour of the UK.
