Singing With Sheryl Crow OLDIES

Sheryl Crow’s "Everyday Is a Winding Road" captures mid-90s resilience with its road-trip-ready groove and Neil Finn’s subtle backing vocals, making it a standout from her triple-platinum 1996 album. Prince’s 1999 cover gives it a sardonic twist, reframing its sunny tone with sharp guitar work and personal lyric changes. The song’s adaptability highlights its universal appeal, from soundtracks to live performances.

Meanwhile, Crow’s "Strong Enough" shines with raw vulnerability, flipping gender norms in its poignant question, “Are you strong enough to be my man?” Collaborations like “Angel” with Sarah McLachlan or "It Don’t Hurt" featuring Dixie Chicks reflect her knack for blending voices, though live showcases sometimes veer into nostalgia over reinvention. Tracks like “Soak Up the Sun” and her duet with Willie Nelson on “City of New Orleans” embody her crossover charm across decades.

This week In One-Off Collaborations 06/52

Angélique Kidjo and Buddy Guy's rendition of Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" blends Beninese vocal finesse with emotive guitar riffs, striking a balance between homage and cultural reinterpretation. Buddy's sharp solos and Angélique's intricate delivery occasionally clash, but the performance remains a bold cultural fusion. Meanwhile, Paul Simon's "Wristband" uses playful humor to dissect societal barriers, its live performances featuring acoustic flair merged with Clap Clap!'s electronic touches, adding depth to its restless energy.

Post Malone and the Red Hot Chili Peppers shook up genres at the Grammys, moving from intimate acoustic vibes of "Stay" to the funk-infused "Dark Necessities." Marianne Faithfull's 2013 live take on "Broken English" traded punk grit for melodic introspection, while Norah Jones, Willie Nelson, and Wynton Marsalis reimagined "You Are My Sunshine" with a jazz-country twist. Gregory Porter’s duet "Water Under Bridges" with Laura Mvula leaned into nostalgic elegance, though some spontaneity felt restrained in its polished delivery.
