After a long wait, the rock chic(k) finally fashions a new Come On
Crow was going to call her new CD 'Songs from the Waiting Room', a
title
that evokes Muzak versions of "Norwegian Wood". That, not surprisingly,
isn't the vibe she was aiming for. "It's a throwback to summer classic
rock," she says. "I wanted it to feel like the music of my summer
youth:
Rumours, Steve Miller, Lynyrd Skynyrd." Now tentatively retitled 'Come
On,
Come On' and due in late March, the CD features collaborators like
Lenny
Kravitz, Liz Phair, Don Henley, and Dixie Chick Natalie Maines. The
likely
first single, "Soak Up the Sun", is a Beach Boy-ish ode to not taking
it
all too seriously, while her duet with Kravitz, "You're An Original",
takes
on teen pop. "It's a retort to what's going on on MTV, fabricated pop
stars," says Crow. "I think people are ready for more substance. If
everything depends on wearing the skimpiest outfits and dancing with a
reptile, then we're all in trouble."

P.S. if you didn't check the forum yet for the new album title:
it's "C'mon C'mon"
(and not Come On Come On as EW printed here)
