Crow was a main stage act at Lilith Fair and has contributed many songs to movie soundtracks and special projects that were never made available elsewhere, among them: "D'yer Maker" (Encomium: Led Zeppelin Tribute), "Mother Nature's Son" (I Am Sam Soundtrack), "Ci Darem la Mano Don Giovanni" (Pavarotti & Friends For War Child), and "Resuscitation" (The Faculty). They have since taken the name The DNA Disciples to avoid confusion with the no wave band described above, and also produced a second Suzanne Vega remix, "Rusted Pipe".

She is now in a relationship with cycling great Lance Armstrong. DNA was also the pseudonym taken by two British dance producers for a remix of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner". Her performance within the film of the Porter classic "Begin the Beguine" was critically panned by film reviewers. The contemporary indie rock band Blonde Redhead takes its name from a DNA song. 2004 saw Crow appear as a musical theater performer in the Cole Porter biopic De-Lovely. Lindsay and Mori and to a lesser extent Crutchfield have remained active in music. Among them was the ballad "The First Cut is the Deepest" (a song originally composed and performed by Cat Stevens), which became her biggest radio hit since her first, "All I Wanna Do". DNA on DNA, a comprehensive CD chronicle of the band, was released by No More Records in 2004.

It featured many of her hit singles as well as some new tracks. DNA's final encore was a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love." Sadly, this is not included on the CD Last Live at CBGB, released more than a decade later on John Zorn's Avant label. In 2003 Crow released a greatest hits compilation called The Very Best of Sheryl Crow. It's a measure of the cult following the band had developed that its final concerts were three consecutive sold-out nights at CBGB. The official reason for the closure was "technical difficulties". Lindsay, Mori, and Wright decided to dissolve the band in 1982. [1] (http://www.artistsnetwork.org/news7/news319.html) Her opposition caused such a political rift to develop between her fans that the message boards on her website were closed for a number of weeks. Some live DNA tracks appeared on compilation albums while the band was still in existence.

Bush!" during a performance on Good Morning America and posting an open letter explaining her opposition on her website. DNA recorded but one (brief, approximately 10 minutes) album - A Taste of DNA - for Kip Hanrahan's American Clavé label (later on Rough Trade) in 1980. Crow opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq, wearing a shirt that read "I don't believe in your war, Mr. Live shows were frequent in this period, but rarely outside of the CBGB - Mudd Club - TR3 circuit in lower Manhattan. 2002 also found Crow collaborating with Stevie Nicks on her project, and releasing a successful single called "Picture" with rumored boyfriend Kid Rock. The Lindsay-Mori-Wright lineup of DNA developed something of a cult following between 1979 and 1982, but more with art than with rock audiences. Crow also performed the song "Safe & Sound" from this album at a television benefit for the victims of September 11th, 2001 disasters. Song structures became tighter, briefer, more abstract, and have been compared to haiku.

Crow stated she was making a statement that women over 40 were still sexy. Whether a statement or a marketing tool, C'mon, C'mon spawned hits in "Soak Up the Sun" and 2002 Best Female Rock Performance Grammy winner "Steve McQueen". The music became even more spare and angular, with Wright's bass lines creating a sometimes menacing sound. Videos and promotional photos also found Crow more scantily clad than ever before, in bikinis and hot pants. As Wright played bass and not keyboards, and was the only member of the band really to have any conventional instrumental technique, the change in DNA's sound was dramatic. Musically unlike any of her other records, the project had a more pop feel. He was replaced by Tim Wright, previously of the Cleveland band Pere Ubu. In 2002, after a break and some touring, Crow released C'mon, C'mon. Shortly after the recording of No New York, Crutchfield left DNA to form a new band, Dark Day.

The record found Crow singing many of her hit singles with new musical spins and guest appearances by many other musicians including Stevie Nicks, The Dixie Chicks, and Eric Clapton. The other three bands appearing on this album were The Contortions, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, and Mars. She also released a live album called Sheryl Crow and Friends: Live From Central Park. Within their first year, they had cemented their reputation as a paradigmatic no wave band when Brian Eno selected them as one of the four groups documented on the No New York LP, the first recording to expose no wave groups to an audience outside of lower Manhattan. In 1999 Crow also made her acting debut (barring a cameo in the film "54") as ill-fated drifter Laurie Bloom in the suspense/drama The Minus Man. This lineup of DNA played occasionally at CBGB and Max's Kansas City and recorded one 7" single. Other singles included "There Goes the Neighborhood", "Anything But Down" and "The Difficult Kind". "There Goes the Neighborhood" was released as a single in 2000 and won a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. After the rapid departure of Stevenson and Cervenka, Lindsay and Crutchfield hastily recruited Ikue Mori - a Japanese woman with little command of English and no drum set - to be DNA's drummer.

This song won the 1999 Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. This incarnation of the band was very brief, not playing even one concert. The album won Best Rock Album at the 1998 Grammy Awards; interestingly, it was re-released in 1999 with a bonus track, Crow's cover of the Guns N' Roses song "Sweet Child O' Mine". Stevenson went on to play bass for Teenage Jesus and the Jerks; Cervenka was the younger sister of Exene Cervenka of X. The debut single from this album, "My Favorite Mistake", was rumored to be about him, though Crow claims otherwise. DNA originally consisted of Lindsay, Crutchfield, Gordon Stevenson, and Mirielle Cervenka, and took its name from a song by another no wave band, Mars. She discussed in press interviews having gone through a deep depression, and she also had a highly publicized relationship with music legend Eric Clapton. Their music was described as spare, noisy, and angular and was compared to some of Captain Beefheart's output and even to Anton Webern.

In 1998 Crow released a third album, called The Globe Sessions. Rather than playing their instruments in a traditional manner, they instead focused on making unique and unusual sounds. In 1997 Crow contributed the theme song to the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. The song of the same title was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Song Written Specifically For a Motion Picture or Television. Formed in 1978 by guitarist Arto Lindsay and keyboardist Robin Crutchfield, DNA were inspired by a promoter who wanted a band composed of first-time musicians. Other singles included "A Change Would Do You Good", "Home" and "Everyday is a Winding Road". DNA was a short-lived but influential New York rock band, associated with the no wave movement. She also won for "Best Rock Album" for the record.

The debut single "If It Makes You Happy" became a radio hit, and netted her another Grammy award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Featuring a darker and grittier look and sound, the album was also far more political, with songs about abortion, homelessness and nuclear war. In 1996 Crow released her second album, which was self titled. Crow received several Grammy awards in 1994: Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "All I Wanna Do"; Record of the Year for "All I Wanna Do"; and Best New Artist.

The singles "Run, Baby, Run" and "Strong Enough" were also released. However the album was slow to garner attention until the one song Crow did not write, "All I Wanna Do", became an unexpected smash radio hit. The album featured many of the songs written by Crow and her friends, including the first single, "Leaving Las Vegas". Bottrell and Crow began a romance and a professional relationship, eventually creating her debut album, called Tuesday Night Music Club.

They would get together and improvise songs until they had finished works. She teamed up with record producer Bill Bottrell and other musicians to form what they called The Tuesday Night Music Club. Crow signed a record deal with A&M Records in 1990 and was ready to release her debut album in 1991. However, she did not like the slick and well-produced pop sound of the record and implored the label to allow her to start anew; they agreed. She has stated that she was not allowed to make eye contact with the singer except when on stage.

Crow began her adult life as a school teacher and in the 1980s she moved to Los Angeles and quickly found work as backup vocalist for many major label acts. She was recruited to perform as a backup singer for Michael Jackson on his Bad tour, where she was forced to wear a 4 1/2 foot fright wig and change her name to "Shirley".
