Hey I'm Brian Hyatt and this is Rolling Stone, Music Now.

There's a new documentary called Cheryl debuting this week on Showtime.

It tells a story of a truly underrated and under-appreciated artist,

Cheryl Crow. It's really great to see her getting some of the attention she

deserves. I've been lucky enough to talk to Cheryl many times over the years and

today I'm going to bring you a sort of greatest

hits from a couple of my recent conversations with her. She talks about her

whole career going back to her earliest days. She talks about how she

recorded an album before Tuesday Night Music Club that was scrapped.

She talks about her reaction to some of the unfair criticism that came in the wake of Tuesday

Night Music Club.

She talks about the sexual harassment she says she faced

from Michael Jackson's late ex-manager Don Delillo. She talks about the art of songwriting

and a whole lot more. Here's some of my conversations with Cheryl Crowe.

We talked about the abandoned first record, of course.

You knew halfway through that this thing was too slick.

What we were making was going to be just lost in the record bins of posterity.

Just what doesn't matter anyway?

What side of the road? Like Uber produced, you know, and mixed so that every single thing was shiny and glossy,

you know, and you can tell from every record I've made that shiny and glossy is

not my first love. So one of the things that's interesting in the story of your

careers there was like a year between shelving that record and Tuesday Night Music Club.
