By: Caryn Robbins Apr. 21, 2017
Be Myself, the new album from singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sheryl Crow, is out today on Warner Bros. Records and available on Crow's newly re-designed official website. On April 13, Crow kicked off the album's launch with a two day appearance on HSN, where she presented her new signature fashion collection and performed tracks from Be Myself, along with some of her greatest hits, as part of the retailer's Music City: Nashville special event. Crow continued her action-packed, media-takeover week with performances and interviews on The Today Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, SiriusXM'sThe Howard Stern Show, NCIS New Orleans, WNYC's "Soundcheck," and Watch What Happens Live. On April 19, Crow performed an intimate sold-out club show at Bowery Ballroom in New York.
Tonight, Crow and her band will perform on AT&T's AUDIENCE Network which airs at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT via DIRECTV Ch 239, AT&T U-verse Ch 1114 and DIRECTV NOW and will be live streamed on www.directv.com and www.uverse.com. Crow will also host a Facebook Live Fan Q&A today at 11:30 AM PT/2:30 PM ET here.
Critics have praised the nine time Grammy-Award winner's ninth studio album, Be Myself, as a return to Crow's rock and pop roots of her early albums:
"On Be Myself she sounds more comfortable in her skin that ever before. And nine Grammys, 35+ million U.S. album sales, and five multi-platinum records into her career, why wouldn't Crow be happy being herself?"
Nylon
"Sometimes the comfort zone is where a musician belongs. That's the charm of Be Myself, Sheryl Crow's pointedly titled new album, which gleefully and unashamedly returns to the sound of her hit albums from the 90's ... straightforward songs that don't hide their fondness for the Rolling Stones and the Beatles."
The New York Times
"Be Myself seems poised to reconnect with old-school Sheryl Crow fans."
Rolling Stone
"Sheryl Crow is allowing the pendulum to swing back toward the rock-rooted sound and attitude with which she first found success nearly a quarter-century ago."
The Los Angeles Times
