LateRooms.com - Sheryl Crow Heading to Munich

    MUNICH, GERMANY, September 07, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sheryl Crow is set to play live in Germany next month, giving fans using Munich hotels a chance to hear songs from her recent album 100 Miles from Memphis.

The American songwriter will perform at the Bavarian capital's Tonhalle venue on Saturday October 16th before heading on to concerts in Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Known for hits such as All I Wanna Do, If It Makes You Happy, and Everyday is a Winding Road, Crow returned with her seventh studio album in July.

Featuring a collaboration with Justin Timberlake and a cover of the Jackson 5's I Want You Back, the record reached number three on the US Billboard Top 200.

Writing in the Observer, reviewer Hugh Montgomery praised the "effortless classicism" of the album, which sees Crow explore soul influences, rather than the country and pop of her earlier releases.

The Missouri-born singer has said the title of her record reflects a particular state of mind, as well as a location.

"I grew up in a small town 100 miles from Memphis and that informed not only my musical taste, but how I look at life," she explained in comments published on her website.

"The drive to Memphis is all farmland and everyone is community-oriented, God-fearing people, connected to the earth."

Crow admitted the process of recording the album had been a challenging one, as many of the songs called for a certain emotional commitment.

"It was a great stretching experience to show more vulnerability in my writing," the 48-year-old said.

Standing tickets for the Tonhalle concert are available online, priced at EUR38.50 (GBP32). Doors are set to open at 19:30 local time and the performance will begin an hour later.
