Grammy Preview 2020: Sheryl Crow on the 'unimportance of truth' in America, and why she lobbied to bring back female categories at the GRAMMYs and more
, we asked a series of likely contenders to reflect on their past experiences at the ceremony, look ahead to the future, and break down the albums and singles that could earn them a statue come February., features a slew of high-profile guests ranging from Johnny Cash to St. Vincent, it has an easy-going, coherent feel — maybe because the singer-songwriter recorded most of the tracks in the studio above the horse barn of her Nashville home.
For me right now, those concerns are extremely urgent. I have two little boys, and I remember an America that isn’t like it is now. The unimportance of truth, the annoyance of truth right now in this country — when you’re raising kids and trying to teach them right from wrong, that the truth matters, that we treat each other with compassion, to have what’s going on be what they walk through every day? That seeped into every fiber of this record. It’s the elephant in the room for me.
And then there’s “Story of Everything,” which features Chuck D, Gary Clark Jr., and Andra Day, where you talk about the Charleston church shooting in 2015, though it could have been any number of tragedies since. Super chaotic. I brought out my entire family, including my 85-year-old grandmother. It’s funny: That night was incredible, and the next morning we were on a bus on the way up to San Francisco to play a show as if nothing had ever happened. It has taken me so many years to learn how to own any accolades. I’ve always just stayed in the work. And there has to be a moment where you look at it go, “Wow, the work paid off. What a wonderful acknowledgment.
