"Be Myself" is an album by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, released in 2017. As Sheryl Crow's tenth studio album, it marks a return to her rootsy rock sound, after exploring country music in her previous album, "Feels Like Home" (2013). In terms of style, "Be Myself" pays homage to her '90s hits with a modern twist.
The album was jointly produced by Crow, Jeff Trott, and Tchad Blake, a team that has worked together on several of Crow's early hits. Some of the main themes in "Be Myself" revolved around the contemporary world's complexity, and specifically, the societal and cultural shifts that she observed.
"Be Myself" was met with generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Crow's return to her musical origins. Additionally, it also performed well on charts, peaking within the top 40 in various countries, including the USA, the UK, and Australia.
Included in the album are powerful tracks such as "Halfway There" and "Alone in the Dark". With a combination of strong lyrics and a foot-tapping rhythm, "Be Myself" offers listeners a blend of classic and contemporary, with the same powerhouse performance from Crow that fans have come to love over the years.
