Prove You Wrong

This is Big Machine Radio, I am Becca And welcome to the Sheryl Crow "Threads" Album Release Special You are in for something very special We've got Sheryl in the studio with us She has created this incredible album Full of collaborations with some of the biggest names in music And some of the brightest young stars And we're gonna go through every track And hear the stories behind the songs Sheryl has so many great stories and The first thing I wanted to ask you The album is called "Threads," and I understand That you had been doing some recording with Kris Kristofferson And that is kind of what led you to want to make this album With some of your heroes and some of your peers, so Tell me how it worked, because there are so many incredible names on here Did you have a list of people you wanted to work with? Did the songs kind of guide you to who you wanted to record with? Well, the process did start with Kris Kristofferson And after I recorded with him, I called Steve Jordan And said, "I want more of this I want more of the special moments that change the molecules" And he and I talked about what that would look like And I said, "Well, I don't know exactly what that's gonna look like Except for, I'll write songs, I'll do the songs by the people that matter to me I'll write with people when I, when there's an opportunity to do that" And it was all of that I wrote with Joe Walsh, "For The Record" I did a Bob Dylan song because I love him so much With Jason Isbell, I did a George Harrison song Because not only was he a monumental figure in my creative life but also The song felt necessary to record for my children For the people of their generation And I asked Eric to play on it And I asked Brandi to sing on it because she's a mom And there were just so many things that were Threads that just wove through the making of this record And that presented themselves Well, there are so many amazing songs on this album I say, let's not waste any time We're gonna start with Track One, it's "Prove You Wrong" Now, this is you, Maren Morris and Stevie Nicks, so Tell us about getting the three of you together for this song "Prove You Wrong" was such a joy I knew I wanted to have Stevie Nicks on this record She's been a huge inspiration for me since I was really young And then I got to meet her a few years later At a GRAMMYs party and wound up working with her And wound up getting to produce her And tour with her and above all, she's just a remarkable woman And incredible fully realized artist And so I knew I wanted to bring Stevie in on something And so, I wrote this song really kind of with her in mind And I also wanted to sort of bring in Somebody I felt like was maybe the next generation Of a Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow And that's Maren Morris, I mean Maren Morris, I feel like Has that incredible sex appeal but also that strength that Stevie has And has always had, and it was just a perfect marriage To get the both of them on this song that is very much In both of their wheelhouses And it's fun to listen to I love this song 'cause there's a bit of sass in there And I mean, you've got three powerhouse women on it It is Stevie Nicks, Maren Morris, and Sheryl Crow Off her brand new album, "Threads" Which is available now
