Singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow is preparing for the October 9, 2026, release of her 12th studio album, ‘Pick You Up’. The seven-track project, released through Old Green Barn Productions LLC, is co-written with longtime collaborator Jeff Trott and returns to her rock and Americana roots. The album is preceded by the track ‘Freedom Bus’, featuring Jesse Welles, which addresses themes of political division, civil rights, memory, and the importance of civil discourse.

Crow, a nine-time Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee with over 50 million albums sold globally, is also set to receive the BMI Troubadour Award on September 14 at a private event in Nashville. The award recognizes her career as a prolific songwriter and her impact on the American music landscape.

Additionally, Crow has announced a collaboration with Disney Television Animation and Pixar for the upcoming Disney Jr. and Disney+ animated series ‘Cars: Lightning Racers’, scheduled for a 2027 release. During the D23 fan event in Anaheim, she performed the title song ‘Built to Last’ and is expected to contribute eleven new songs to the series.
