Lance Armstrong's ex visits Nokia

Published on June 15, 2006

If in 1993 you scoffed at the notion that the lady singing "All I Wanna Do" was any more than a one-hit wonder, you weren't alone. But here it is 13 years later and Sheryl Crow's got a bona fide career. Some claim she slept her way up the charts, but the truth of the matter is she just lucked out with enough well-timed pop ditties ("Everyday Is a Winding Road," "My Favorite Mistake," "Soak Up the Sun") that you couldn't forget about her if you tried. Her latest CD (Wildflower) is a real snoozefest, but she won her place in Texans' hearts by becoming the ex-almost-Mrs. Lance Armstrong. Sheryl Crow performs with Jack Ingram Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. at Nokia Theatre Grand Prairie, 1001 Performance Place. Tickets are $39.50 to $69.50. Call 214-373-8000 or visit ticketmaster.com.
Tue., June 20, 8:30 p.m.
