Singing With Sheryl Crow
Sheryl Crow and Grace Potter’s acoustic “New Kid In Town” honors Glenn Frey with raw, stripped-back harmonies, reflecting the Eagles’ original while staying reverent. Kid Rock and Crow’s “Picture” brings aching regret to life, marrying confessional lyrics with their emotional vocal chemistry. The understated duet became a hit, resonating with heartbreak and sincerity.
Crow and Vince Gill’s take on “Two More Bottles of Wine” during Emmylou Harris’s tribute is polished yet safe, while her duet with Ben Harper on “My Sweet Lord” respects George Harrison’s legacy but feels bound by its solemn cause. Crow’s duet with Pat Benatar on “I Shall Believe” combines grit and grace but plays it too tidy, while her “Don’t Let Me Down” alongside Chris Stapleton adds layered textures but stays shadowed by the Beatles’ original.
