Tennessee offers Crow a 'normal' life

NASHVILLE, July 20 (UPI) -- Singer Sheryl Crow says living in Tennessee rather than Los Angeles is giving her a chance to live like "normal people."

The "All I Wanna Do" star detailed a shopping trip near Nashville in which she and fellow singer Faith Hill shopped without being hounded by paparazzi or autograph seekers, The (Nashville) Tennessean reported Sunday.

"Faith walked in, on her cell phone, nobody around," Crow said of her visit to an area clothing boutique. "There the two of us were, just shopping like normal people, and there's just something really nice about that. It makes us feel very much like being part of a community, and also like I'm at home."

The singer admits her life is still pretty hectic living in Tennessee, but enjoys the serenity the state offers her and her newly adopted son, Wyatt.

"(My life) is probably as crazy as it once was, although I feel so much more serene living here," she told The Tennessean. "Also, I have a son now, so life feels very full and peaceful."
