Pick You Up is the upcoming thirteenth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow. It will be released on October 9, 2026, under Crow's own imprint Big Green Barn Productions with distribution handled by Thirty Tigers.[1]

Background and recording

Crow co-wrote the seven songs that comprise Pick You Up with her longtime collaborator Jeff Trott. In a press release, Crow described the album's songs as "a commentary on being human and wanting connection".[2] The album's artwork features the painting The Elephant Who Forgot the Ocean by Tyson Grumm. After Crow saw the artwork at an auction and subsequently purchased it, she contacted Grumm to obtain permission to use it as the album artwork, in which he then agreed to allow Crow to do so.[3][2]

In an interview with Billboard, Crow revealed that she initially intended Pick You Up to be a six-song EP with "Freedom Bus" excluded from the track listing before it was expanded to a full-length album after the song was completed due to the song's lyricism encapsulating Crow's feelings at the time of the state of the world.[4]

Promotion

The album's lead single, "Freedom Bus", was released in tandem with the announcement of the album on August 15, 2026.[5]
