100 Miles from Memphis is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow. It is her final release for A&M Records. The album was written and produced by Crow, Doyle Bramhall II and Justin Stanley and features the musicians Tommy Sims and Chris Bruce.[2] On this album she puts aside her country and pop-rock past in favor of a vintage R&B and Memphis soul-inspired record. Although proficient on such instruments as bass, piano and guitar, Crow concentrates on singing throughout the album. The album includes the covers: Citizen Cope's "Sideways",[3] Terence Trent D'Arby's 1988 hit, "Sign Your Name", and The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back".[4] This is the first of Crow's albums not to be nominated for any Grammy Awards (excluding Christmas and greatest hits releases).
