The Globe Sessions is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter
Sheryl Crow, released on September 21, 1998, in the United Kingdom and September 29, 1998, in the United States, then re-released in 1999. It was nominated for
Album of the Year,
Best Rock Album and
Best Engineered Non-Classical Album at the 1999
Grammys, winning the latter two awards. The Globe Sessions reached
No. 2 on the
UK Albums Chart,[14] while peaking at No. 5 on the
Billboard 200 chart,[15] achieving US sales of two million as of January 2008.[16] The album was recorded at and named for the sessions recorded at Globe Recording Studio in New York owned by Robert FitzSimons and Tracey Loggia.
In 2019 it was announced that the
2008 fire that swept through
Universal Studios Hollywood ultimately destroyed buildings belonging to
Universal Music Group. It was initially reported that The Globe Sessions was one of hundreds of albums to have had their studio masters completely destroyed. However, in a 2022 interview with The Line of Best Fit, this was revealed to be false, with Crow stating that "luckily, they found most of mine in a different area."[17]
