Sheryl Crow takes over at Sirius

Sheryl Crow will take over Sirius' The Spectrum channel for five days starting in two weeks.

The special will feature Sheryl playing her favorite music including a track-by-track preview and in- depth discussion of her new album Detours which arrives in stores on February 5th.

Among the many tracks on the album, Sheryl discusses how "Lullaby for Wyatt," a song about her son (who she adopted back in April and named after her father) " ... really informed this album."

"There's an urgent feeling about what's going on in the world," added Crow. "This song is really about, as a parent, you just want to protect your children from the pain that they're going to ultimately experience in their lives."

During the take-over Sheryl also will perform songs from Detours and some of her classic hits at Sirius' studios. This isn't Sheryl's first time guest DJ'ing at Sirius - she helped out her former beau Lance Armstrong by broadcasting live from Spain back in March 2005.

"Sheryl Crow's Spectrum" will kick-off on February 4th at 7am ET and run through February 8th on The Spectrum (ch 18).
