Dec 11, (THAINDIAN NEWS) With her new album releasing Tuesday, Crystal Bowersox is the lady of the moment. The album named ‘Farmer’s Daughter’ is a rather personal one for the American Idol star. Right before the release of her new album some new fact about her past have started doing the rounds on the web. It looks like Crystal Bowersox had a much more disturbing and rough past than what she revealed on the show. Reports indicate that she did not reveal the details of her past because she did not want the people to vote for her out of sympathy.

One source reports that before her break in ‘American Idol’, Crystal Bowersox dug through garbage cans and slept on park benches. She also could not afford a crib for her son and he used to sleep in a Moses basket on her nightstand. Insiders have also said that Crystal Bowersox has revealed about her upbringing in the new album named ”Farmer’s Daughter” where it is hinted that she was the daughter of an alcoholic and might have even faced abuse in her childhood. Crystal Bowersox had herself admitted that she had a dark and ugly past.

Constantly on tour, Crystal Bowersox also revealed recently that she takes parenting advice from none other than The Doobie Brothers. She told the media that they were great parents too who took along their son on tour every year. She also said that they advised her to not keep her son at home and take him along on tours. Following her album release Crystal Bowersox will be seen in a number of TV appearances that includes the shows hosted by Jay Leno and Ellen DeGeneres.
