Dec 13, 2016This is my second favorite Sheryl Crow album (after the eponymous second album). With that being said, this is one of the most played albums in my library. It's got that gritty, good time blue eyed soul feel of Dusty Springfield. The songs are infectious and a whole lot of fun! Wish she'd do another run at soul... she's really very good at it.

Nearly every song overstays its welcome; what may have felt like a bunch of great jams in the studio grows tedious over the course of 12 tracks.

Her smoky rasp is thinner than many who've plowed these fields, but Crow is a hook-miner, and her phrasing is tough and sexy enough to put the material over.

While it's admirable to hear an artist with such a well-established aesthetic branch out, 100 Miles from Memphis doesn't stretch far enough to work as either a contemporary soul record or as a purely retro-minded tribute.
