Sheryl Crow has trained herself to burp musically.
The ‘All I Wanna Do’ singer said during her 20 years as a singer her
voice has grown in many ways, but the thing which impresses her guitar
player -Doyle Bramhall II – most, is her ability to sing through a case
of wind.
She told popeater.com: “Doug just thinks it's fascinating that I can sing through a burp if that means anything to you.
“I can be onstage and, you know, I can sustain a burp until I'm done
with a phrase. You know part of it is just doing it, part of it is
singing, it's like any other sort of craft of muscle.
“The more you do it, hopefully, the better you get at it, the more you understand it and the better you are able to control.”
While Sheryl – who was a backing vocalist for Michael Jackson before
becoming a solo artist – has grown as a vocalist, she looks up to the
way a legendary musician like folk singer Bob Dylan is always learning
and improving at his craft.
She added: “Bob Dylan's a great example of someone who didn't want to
stay static. He did a very big event in Tokyo with Joni Mitchell and
took voice lessons for it. So I think good singers and singers who are
very alive in their art continue to work at it.”
