 Sheryl Crow
The Grammy Award-winning singer announced a plan Wednesday (August 20) to give a digital copy of her album "Detours" to the first 50,000 people who register three friends to vote.
Crow's giveaway is a kickoff to Rock the Vote's voter registration drive.
She is also offering a free download of her politically charged song "Gasoline" to anyone who logs onto the Rock the Vote Website or anyone on the group's mailing list, said the organization's executive director Heather Smith.
Crow, 46, was one of the founding artists of Rock the Vote 18 years ago.
She said the "Detours" album fits perfectly into the group's cause since the lyrics touch on topics such as adoption, breast cancer, the war in Iraq, the environment and Hurricane Katrina.
Rock the Vote aims to register 2 million young people to vote by November — the largest youth voter drive in history by three times, Smith said.
Anyone who recruits three people to vote will have to log onto the Rock the Vote Website and go through a verification process before receiving Crow's album.
