Feels Like Home is the ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, released on September 10, 2013. The album is Crow’s debut country music record and also is her first release through Warner Bros. Records. The album was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and was produced by Crow and Justin Niebank. The album was ranked by Billboard as one of the ten best country albums of 2013.
In an interview for Billboard magazine in 2008, Crow revealed she was becoming part of the Nashville community (after moving there from Los Angeles in 2006 following a breast cancer diagnosis) and explained that she, among other artists that were “just singer/songwriters” were gradually gravitating to the country music format due to the fact that there was “no room” between dance-oriented pop, rap and country music. Although she didn’t consider herself an artist from the latter genre, she also added: “I feel like my music kind of stems from this part of the world. There’s a very strong tie to Americana and lyrically to troubadour/country kinds of music, but in the tradition of old country. I couldn’t begin to understand how to make a new country record. I don’t even know what that is now. But I would love to make a straight up old country record, which would probably never get played.”
Having worked with country artists such as Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Brooks & Dunn, Dwight Yoakam and Dixie Chicks, and also released renditions of classic songs from the genre like The Carter Family’s "No Depression in Heaven" (which charted number 55 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart) and Hank Williams’ "Long Gone Lonesome Blues", for which she received a Best Female Country Vocal Performance Grammy nomination in 2002, Crow has contributed to country music over the years.
