SHERYL CROW RELEASES NEW TRACK “FREIGHT TRAIN” FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM PICK YOU UP; STREAM/DOWNLOAD HERE
NEW SONG FOLLOWS “FREEDOM BUS” AND ARRIVES AHEAD OF CROW’S 12TH STUDIO ALBUM, OUT OCTOBER 9
Nine-time GRAMMY® Award winner and 2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Sheryl Crow has released “Freight Train,” the second track from her forthcoming 12th studio album, Pick You Up, due out October 9, 2026, via Old Green Barn Productions LLC. The new song is available to stream and download HERE.
“Freight Train” is a slow-paced, reflective track underscored by soft guitar that explores the universal experience of feeling alone. “So many times in my life I have felt alone, even when surrounded by people. I think we all feel that way sometimes,” Crow said. “This song is about the knowingness that we are not alone in feeling that way and that it will pass.”
The song considers the shared questions and uncertainties that connect us all, reflecting on how life is happening everywhere at once, in every house, every car, and across every stretch of countryside. Much like the sound of a freight train moving in the distance, the song offers a reminder that we are all moving through our own lives while experiencing many of the same feelings, and that we are never truly alone.
“Freight Train” follows “Freedom Bus” featuring Jesse Welles, the first single from Pick You Up, which was released alongside the album’s announcement in August. “Freedom Bus” introduced the forthcoming album reflecting on the freedoms we have and asking how we can connect peacefully and thrive despite our differences and the political challenges we face.
Pick You Up features seven new songs written by Crow and long-time collaborator Jeff Trott, returning to the AAA/Rock/Singer-Songwriter/Americana sound that made so many people fall in love with Sheryl in the ‘90s. Exploring themes of hope and unity, the album showcases the honest songwriting and authenticity that have shaped Crow’s career. Pick You Up is available to pre-order, pre-add, and pre-save HERE.
