The video for Sheryl Crow’s first single from her new Detours album (release date: February 5, 2008), "Love Is Free" is now available online!

Why You Care

Because Crow's latest album, Detours, is arguably one of her most personal - if not one of her best. With themes ranging from anti-war sentiments to peaceful, personal introspection (love relationships, battles with breast cancer, and outrage against the war - among other experiences - are all front and center here)... I dare you to listen to her first single, "Love is Free," and not sing along.

About the Song

"The song ‘Love Is Free’ is inspired by New Orleans. What struck me about it is the stoicism of the New Orleans people, they are spiritually based. You can see it in their eyes that they aren’t going to give up, they are going to rebuild."
- Sheryl Crow

About the Author

Carly Hope Finseth spends much of her time pondering what she wants to be when she grows up. She alternates between days filled with cozy socks, hot tea, and meditative reflection - and others, which are loaded with caffeine fixes, grueling commutes, and one fire to put out after another. When she’s not sifting through e-mails, dropping her cell phone, or sticking another reminder Post-It on her desk, Carly also somehow finds the time to write and reflect on important (and the occasional not-so-important) feminist issues.
