At 62, Missouri born rock star SHERYL CROW keeps on rocking in the free world.
She canned her 12th album, named it EVOLUTION and will share it with her fans
on March 29.

She already shared 3 tracks. Alarm Clock, Evolution and Do It Again.

And today #4 went online. It’s a cover of PETER GABRIEL‘s
1992 song DIGGING IN THE DIRT from his Us album.

Crow: “Peter’s song is the one that started me on this whole process of making my new album Evolution, the first song I brought to Mike Elizondo. 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, it feels like digging in the dirt. Peter’s lyrics express that so beautifully, with this just ridiculous groove driving underneath. 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.”

Gabriel joins Crow on the chorus. They groove, they funk, they rock.
