Cross Creek Road

Sheryl Crow has a new album called "Threads"

And it's actually available on CD and digital

Plus she has put together a vinyl collection

And this is one song that has two different versions

Depending on which version of the album you buy

If you get the vinyl release, she is singing with Margo Price and Neil Young

And on the digital and CD release, Sheryl is singing

Cross Creek Road with Lucas Nelson and Neil

So Sheryl, tell me about Cross Creek Road

Cross Creek Road actually is a song that I wrote with my buddy Jeff

About my old farm which was outside of Nashville

And represent a lot of things to me

It represented my real search for peace in my life

It represents, that farm represents a lot of transitions for me

I came there when I was newly diagnosed with breast cancer

I came there when I was done with treatment

I came there to make my first record after that

When I brought my three month old home

It just had a lot of emotional connection for me

And so I asked Don Henley to sing on the record

Mainly because he was very instrumental in my getting a record deal back in 1989 or 90

And I've known him for many years

He's been there through thick and thin for me

And we asked Neil Young to play the guitar parts on it

Because the song sounds like him

And because I've gotten to know him through the years

He's been a- even before I knew him

He's just a monumental inspiration for me

And asked him to be a part of the record

After having done a lot of the Bridge School benefits

In the end, shortly after recording it

I met and became friends with Margo Price

Who I feel like is just a really unique and authentic artist

But also a real throwback

You know she's out there on the road

She reminds me of me, not artistically

But how we were in the early days

Where we just loved playing and getting out there and communicating

And having relationship with the audiences

Just like all the artists that I've loved started out

Out there playing and touring and being a troubadour

So all those people on this track

I guess really take me back to Cross Creek

You'll find this song on Sheryl's new album, Threads

Which is available now to stream, download, or buy wherever music is sold

It's called Cross Creek Road on Big Machine Radio
