The upcoming slate of music documentaries spotlight some of the biggest names in the biz, including Sheryl Crow, Jennifer Lopez and XXXTentacion.
The filmmaker was given unprecedented access to Bowie's personal archives, which include performances shot on both 35mm and 16mm that have never been seen before. Unlike Yes and Genesis, who went on to monster fame, King Crimson blended jazz, folk, metal, electronic and other genres to create a surreal blend unto itself. He was summoned by Black Sabbath to be a steady antidote to their wild singer, Ozzy Osbourne, and could be counted on to play the role of onstage madman while preferring quiet days at home when off the road. Founded by guitarist Robert Fripp, who later collaborated with producer and composer Brian Eno, Crimson also featured a young Greg Lake on keyboards. This doc is centered on Grammy-winner Brandi Carlile, a longtime Tucker fan, who takes it upon herself to write an entire album for her idol about Tucker's raucous and rebel life. Sinead O'Connor has courted attention her entire life, ranging from her early years as an innovative voice on pop scene to more recent struggles with physical and mental illness. This documentary attempts to deconstruct Cohen through the creation of his greatest composition, and features not just previously unseen personal notes and videos, but also interviews with musicians who have attempted to do the song justice by covering it, ranging from Judy Collins to Rufus Wainwright. The producers behind this new "Uncut" version of the doc say it will feature some never-seen-before footage and upgraded video quality. Born Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy in 1998, the rapper known as XXXTentacion lived a short life filled with both misery and promise. Together, these voices conjure a global melting pot of tunes, foods and ideas that is wholly unique to this annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. While two years before he was charged with the battery of a pregnant woman, many saw redemptive changes in the rapper in the final months of his life. And the hits just keep on coming.

“‘Oh, this is the guy whose zipper … I unzipped on that record [Sticky Fingers].” “I vomited all day. It always felt like I was born too late.”

This documentary about Sheryl Crow depicts a musician whose work ethic did not allow a lot of time for frivolity.
She’s a musician whose Rock-with-a-capital-R cred — her guitar playing is ace, her voice is soulful and her ear for a hook is unimpeachable — is sometimes overlooked in favor of her pop appeal. Eventually, of course, Sheryl Crow became Sheryl Crow — the multiplatinum-selling singer-songwriter with a hefty set of radio hits. After a fortuitous break — a vocal in a McDonald’s ad — she lit out for more showbiz-friendly environs and got an instant dose of reality.
Ahead of the release of her documentary, Sheryl, music legend Sheryl Crow is opening up. The singer stopped by The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday where she ...

Sheryl Crow and filmmakers Amy Scott and Brian Morrow discuss a new documentary on the artist's life, and the impact of her music.
And obviously it was detected very early, so while there was no fear that I was going to die of it, there was certainly a concern that it might come back. I had a guest house, and we’re spending so much time together, and her relationship was falling apart, and my relationship had fallen apart, and I had the empty space.” She adds, “In fact, we used to call that house the Home for Wayward People, because I had people living there before her who had also fallen out of relationships. Connections like that have become vital to Crow’s life as she navigated both the highs and lows of an industry that trades in artifice. “It’s one of the more heartbreaking parts to cut out of the film,” says Morrow. “Sheryl’s got some great stories about these epic parties that she used to host during that time in her life, and the stories were just so funny, but it ended up having to come out because there’s no B-roll and there’s no archival at all. It was back in the day before everybody had a cellphone.” But that was what made them cool; there were no photographers or press. Do you know anything around there?” Eventually Crow found a Tupperware box filled with what she called “the mother lode.” One hundred eleven VHS tapes spanning every era and many touchstones of her life. It was the beginning of a lifetime of music that’s followed Crow from those simpler Kennett, Missouri origins to the height of musical superstardom in the 1990s, 2000s, and on through to today. They also are able to dive into the fun, unseen side of that lifestyle by revealing never before seen behind-the-scenes footage and home movies that Crow had accumulated over the years. Says director Scott, “It was really fun, because the list of people [who agreed to appear] on the film… Also according to the filmmakers, and unlike so many other documentarian experiences, the friendly answer of the participants was always the same: I’m doing this because it’s about Sheryl. “Well, I’ve looked at your life objectively for the past year, and you 100 percent had a gigantic effect on a lot of people.

The song “Safe and Sound,” which she dedicated to him in the liner notes of her 2002 album C’mon, C’mon, was dedicated to him and served as an account of their relationship, as she admitted in the liner notes. Crow dated Josh Charles, the actor of The Good Wife, for a few months in early 2003, including bringing him as her date to the Grammy Awards that February. By April, though, they’d called it quits, according to a source who told Us Weekly, “They are no longer in contact. “I’ve been engaged with people and their children, and it’s heartbreaking if the connection doesn’t work out,” she continued. Despite the assumption, Crow never revealed who the song was about, referring to Clapton as “a really good friend of mine” when he joined her in Central Park in 1999. Her boys, Wyatt (whom she adopted in 2007) and Levi (whom she adopted in 2010), both under the age of 12, could be contributing to the dry spell. In 2014, Crow told Good Housekeeping, “I had always gone out with people who were incredibly successful, which would seem to put me on an equal footing.” “But what happens is that one of you shrinks — and it’s always been me.
Griping about who the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame left out is almost as entertaining as watching who goes in. If Sheryl Crow wasn't already on.
If she hadn’t been, that would have changed the story and that would have changed my perspective on who she was.” How are we going to handle this in a way that is honest?” asked Scott, who joined Crow in the virtual conference.

“And I just had this awful feeling, like a depressing feeling, that the record just didn’t feel finished… And so I came away from it feeling like I was not only a big nothing, but that it was my fault. “There was a huge spectrum of emotions that went along with that record,” she says. You know, it was all Madonna and Paula Abdul at the time, and I had no relationship to that kind of music, even though I’d been singing R&B pop in front of 75,000 people every night and was in all the tabloids and all the magazines. Her second album, Sheryl Crow, made in the wake of backbiting from the musicians on Tuesday Night Music Club and press that questioned the authorship of her music, was an intense experience. “Like, uber-produced and and mixed so that every single thing was shiny and glossy.

And to feel like, OK, that song that's new, that no one's heard, is as important to me as 'All I Want to Do' was," she added. "It's been really humbling," Crow said of making the album. There was a lot of pressure that went along with being an artist, entering my forties and everybody on the radio being in their teens, this was during the Britney, Christina Aguilera, and there I am turning 40. It's just a weird mindset." We need to have a dialogue that is constant and empathetic." But what an incredible time," she shared, noting that "fame, there's no handbook for it. "I still have dear friends. She continued, "The really high highs, the really low lows. John Travolta would be there, Gwyneth. That was my life, and my life revolved around being in that world, and I loved it. "I think the way I am made, is what has propagated my art. And I think we're starting to enter a really healthy place where it's OK to speak about the struggles and the chemical struggles," Crow, who has often spoken about the subject, said. "I think we've gotten better about talking about our mental health.
A new Showtime documentary 'Sheryl,' out on May 6, looks at the life of Sheryl Crow, who got her start on tour with Michael Jackson.
“It was what I wanted,” she admits in the documentary, “but not like that.” The two subsequently broke up. He asked her if her song “Leaving Las Vegas” was autobiographical and, she says, she became flustered and told him it was. It was her first talk-show appearance, and Letterman invited her to sit and chat after she performed. Frank DiLeo, Jackson’s manager, took a liking to Crow and her singing voice and wanted to work with her, she says.

“It is a luxury for me to be able to open up the doors of my sanctuary and to invite in their energy, because they’re the artists that are inspiring me to keep going,” she explains. “I’m 60 now, and at the time, three years ago, it was hard to know if people were going to come out, or even know the music,” she responds. Crow is delighted by her memory of the day: “Glastonbury was in my top five musical experiences of all time. Crow herself supports causes ranging from children’s charities to anti-gun violence causes, and elsewhere, evidence of her particular legacy abounds – in the artists she has influenced and in the huge crowds she still draws. “And I don’t know if it was ultimately going to happen this way or not, but in my estimation our previous president really opened up the can of worms by giving permission to a lot of really heinous characters with bigotry to be accepted, and to be not abnormal. That life, of course, is totally defined by music, and these days, having renovated a barn on her Nashville property, Crow has brought the studio to herself, so that she can record at leisure. “They don’t have a typical life but they have the life that I have, and they are a huge part of it,” Crow smiles. For her own part, Crow feels she is writing her best material ever, though she is realistic that her status as a “legacy artist” inevitably means fewer people hear it. (Frontman Mick Jagger plays harp on this new version, and of working with the Stones, Crow remarks: “I always say it’s a little bit like stepping on to the tennis court with someone like John McEnroe: it ups your game.”) “Men don’t go on the road then come back and their family is all torn apart – their wife is keeping it all going and they can come and go.
