Read on for details about Crow’s newest album, a video for her new single, and more information about her free Live on Letterman concert!
100 Miles From Memphis is Sheryl Crow’s seventh studio album, after a series of award-winning releases that stretch back to her much-loved 1993 debut, Tuesday Night Music Club. That album won her three Grammys, sold in the millions, and ignited the career of one of the strongest rock and pop singer-songwriters in contemporary American music.
Crow’s much-anticipated new collection drops July 20, the very same day as her Live on Letterman performance. According to Crow, the album made her “feel artistically revitalized” while remaining true to her Southern roots (she hails from Kennett, Missouri). It also features guest vocals by [lastfm]Justin Timberlake[/lastfm] and a suprise appearance from [lastfm]Keith Richards[/lastfm].
The album’s first single, “Summer Day,” is a captivating slice of easygoing, warm-weather joy.
