Sheryl Crow will celebrate the release of her 11th full-length studio album, Evolution, with a special show at The Franklin Theatre on March 23.
The concert will be filmed and broadcast to a national audience on PBS later in the year, marking the first in a series of special events at the Franklin Theatre. Tickets are available now via The Franklin Theatre’s website franklintheatre.com.
Crow’s new album Evolution features nine new songs produced by Mike Elizondo and John Shanks and will be released via The Valory Music Co. on March 29. The album’s title track, featuring guitarist Tom Morello, is out now. Another new single “Digging In The Dirt,” a classic Peter Gabriel song with backing vocals by Gabriel himself, is also out today (March 8).
“Peter’s song is the one that started me on this whole process of making my new album. It was the first song I brought to [album producer] Mike Elizondo,” states Crow. “The idea of self-examination to understand our wounds and flaws and how they affect our daily lives really resonated with me, because that process can lead to self-healing. But it can be messy, and it feels like digging in the dirt.
“Peter’s lyrics express that so beautifully, with this ridiculous groove driving underneath,” she continues. “When he agreed to sing on my cover of ‘Digging In The Dirt,’ it just blew me away, and ironically, it ended up being the last song we finished for the album. It’s such an honor to have him perform on this song which really means so much to me, and there is nobody in the world who sings like Peter Gabriel.”
