Prove You Wrong

This is Big Machine Radio, I am Becca

And welcome to the Sheryl Crow "Threads" Album Release Special

You are in for something very special

We've got Sheryl in the studio with us

She has created this incredible album

Full of collaborations with some of the biggest names in music

And some of the brightest young stars

And we're gonna go through every track

And hear the stories behind the songs

Sheryl has so many great stories and

The first thing I wanted to ask you

The album is called "Threads," and I understand

That you had been doing some recording with Kris Kristofferson

And that is kind of what led you to want to make this album

With some of your heroes and some of your peers, so

Tell me how it worked, because there are so many incredible names on here

Did you have a list of people you wanted to work with?

Did the songs kind of guide you to who you wanted to record with?

Well, the process did start with Kris Kristofferson

And after I recorded with him, I called Steve Jordan

And said, "I want more of this

I want more of the special moments that change the molecules"

And he and I talked about what that would look like

And I said, "Well, I don't know exactly what that's gonna look like

Except for, I'll write songs, I'll do the songs by the people that matter to me

I'll write with people when I, when there's an opportunity to do that"

And it was all of that

I wrote with Joe Walsh, "For The Record"

I did a Bob Dylan song because I love him so much

With Jason Isbell, I did a George Harrison song

Because not only was he a monumental figure in my creative life but also

The song felt necessary to record for my children

For the people of their generation

And I asked Eric to play on it

And I asked Brandi to sing on it because she's a mom

And there were just so many things that were

Threads that just wove through the making of this record

And that presented themselves

Well, there are so many amazing songs on this album

I say, let's not waste any time

We're gonna start with Track One, it's "Prove You Wrong"

Now, this is you, Maren Morris and Stevie Nicks, so

Tell us about getting the three of you together for this song

"Prove You Wrong" was such a joy

I knew I wanted to have Stevie Nicks on this record

She's been a huge inspiration for me since I was really young

And then I got to meet her a few years later

At a GRAMMYs party and wound up working with her

And wound up getting to produce her

And tour with her and above all, she's just a remarkable woman

And incredible fully realized artist

And so I knew I wanted to bring Stevie in on something

And so, I wrote this song really kind of with her in mind

And I also wanted to sort of bring in

Somebody I felt like was maybe the next generation

Of a Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow

And that's Maren Morris, I mean Maren Morris, I feel like

Has that incredible sex appeal but also that strength that Stevie has

And has always had, and it was just a perfect marriage

To get the both of them on this song that is very much

In both of their wheelhouses

And it's fun to listen to

I love this song 'cause there's a bit of sass in there

And I mean, you've got three powerhouse women on it

It is Stevie Nicks, Maren Morris, and Sheryl Crow

Off her brand new album, "Threads"
