She's almost home

Sheryl Crow's new album, 100 Miles From Memphis, is being released next week.

As has been the case for all of Sheryl's albums, this one has a little different sound than her previous releases.

For those that know of Sheryl's roots, the title of the album should be self-explanatory. Sheryl grew up in Kennett, Missouri, located in the bootheel of the state, and - oddly enough - only 100 miles from the music mecca of Memphis, Tennessee. So, of course, the music that was made there had a profound effect on her life and her music. This new album pays homage to the Memphis sound that she grew up with.

Take a listen to a few of the songs:
