Sheryl Crow is extending her run as one of rock and country pop’s most enduring voices with a new studio album. According to a mid-August announcement from her label and music press reports, she will release Pick You Up on October 9, 2026.
New album Pick You Up arrives in October
The new album Pick You Up is described as Sheryl Crow’s 12th studio record and will arrive first in digital form on October 9, 2026, with CD and vinyl editions scheduled for November 20, 2026, via her own Old Green Barn Productions in partnership with a distributor.
Music outlet SLR Magazine reports that the album features seven new songs written by Crow together with long-time collaborator Jeff Trott and was officially announced in a press release dated August 14, 2026, just weeks before release season begins in earnest. The SLR Magazine report notes that pre-saves are already open on major streaming platforms.
From Evolution to Pick You Up
Pick You Up follows Sheryl Crow’s 2024 album Evolution, which was released on March 29, 2024 through Big Machine and marked her return to full-length albums after she had previously suggested that 2018’s Threads might be her final LP.
The official announcement for Evolution stated that the nine-song set was produced by Mike Elizondo and released via The Valory Music Group, while the lead single Alarm Clock reintroduced Crow to contemporary radio audiences. Her official album page positions Evolution as a bridge between her 1990s hits and her current songwriting themes.
