Jewel of the South is an album by the American country music artist Rodney Crowell.^[1][2] Released in 1995, it was his second and last album under the MCA Records label. Like its predecessor, it failed to chart on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Only one track, "Please Remember Me", was released as a single; it reached No. 69 on the Hot Country Songs chart. Tim McGraw would release a successful cover of the song on his 1999 album A Place in the Sun that hit No. 1 in the United States and Canada, as well as reaching No. 10 on The Billboard Hot 100.

During a 2008 interview, Crowell cited the track "Jewel of the South" as "one of the best songs" he has written and was surprised no other artist has covered it.^[3]
