After producing her last four studio albums herself, Ms. Crow made “Detours” with Bill Bottrell. He produced “Tuesday Night Music Club,” working with a collective of underdog Los Angeles musicians he had gathered. That album, with its informal, homegrown arrangements, made Ms. Crow a star and sold millions of copies. But it left a bitter aftertaste, as her collaborators — with whom she shared songwriting credits and publishing royalties — squabbled publicly over who deserved what.

“Bill and I never really had any beef with each other,” Ms. Crow said. “When everything went down, he just kind of disappeared from the whole scenario in order to not be in anyone’s corner.”

She added, “In my diplomacy, I never really told the truth about it, which is that the people who worked on the record are who they were before I ever met them. They were discontented and bitter.”

By telephone from his home in California, Mr. Bottrell said: “The truth is hard to describe, but it lies between what all the people were shouting. It was all very vague and very complicated. She wrote the majority of the album. The guys and I contributed writing and lyrics, including some personal things. However, the sound was the sound that I developed.”
