Sheryl Crow performs and gets her flowers in the upcoming second half of the 48th season of Austin City Limits, which returns Jan. 7, 2023. The special episode of the long-running live-music program will feature Crow’s induction into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame and is highlighted by a duet on “Every Day Is a Winding Road” with recent Saturday Night Live musical guest Brandi Carlile. Backed by the ACL All-Stars band including Lloyd Maines and David Grissom, plus Crow’s guitar player Peter Stroud, the performance begins with Carlile singing the 1996 hit from Crow’s eponymous second album. By the conclusion of the first chorus, Crow is onstage and singing, exuding the same unaffected cool that made the song irresistible 25-plus years ago. Additional artists who pay tribute to Crow during the episode include Jason Isbell, Jess Wolfe of Lucius, and Brittney Spencer. The second half of the season will feature a range of top-notch performers, including indie-rock favorites Spoon, the War on Drugs, and Pavement. Additionally, Adrian Quesada and guests will perform songs from his album Boleros Psicodélicos on Jan. 21 and Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats will share the Jan. 14 episode with Adia Victoria. On Feb. 11, Maren Morris will make her ACL debut, playing some songs from her latest album, Humble Quest.

Peter Gabriel has unveiled the first song from his forthcoming album i/o.

Written and produced by Peter Gabriel, Panopticom was recorded at Real World Studios in Wiltshire and The Beehive in London.   

“The first song is based on an idea I have been working on to initiate the creation of an infinitely expandable accessible data globe: The Panopticom,” says the singer. “We are beginning to connect a like-minded group of people who might be able to bring this to life, to allow the world to see itself better and understand more of what’s really going on.”

Gabriel decided to release the song today (6 January) as it’s the first full moon of the year. The lunar phases will guide the release plan of i/o in 2023, with a new song revealed each full moon.  

“Some of what I’m writing about this time is the idea that we seem incredibly capable of destroying the planet that gave us birth and that unless we find ways to reconnect ourselves to nature and to the natural world we are going to lose a lot,” he says. “A simple way of thinking about where we fit in to all of this is looking up at the sky… and the moon has always drawn me to it.’”

Each new release of music will come with a specific piece of art: “We’ve been looking at the work of many hundreds of artists,” says Gabriel, and Panopticom features the work ‘Red Gravity’ by David Spriggs.  

“It was the theme of surveillance that connected me with the work of David Spriggs because he’d done a piece relating to that,” says Gabriel. “David does this amazing stuff using many layers of transparencies so you get these strange creations with a real intensity to them. Part of what he does is imagine what art might look like a few years in the future and then try and create accordingly and I think he’s done that very successfully in this particular piece.”

As well as new music, Peter Gabriel will embark on a tour later this year.

Dates in the UK and Europe are already on sale, with shows on North America to be announced soon.

Tickets are available from livenation.com and petergabiel.com
