Sheryl Crow covers Terrence Trent D’Arby’s 1988 classic ‘Sign Your Name‘ on her new album 100 Miles From Memphis. It’s sultry, sexy and very well done. That’s a song I haven’t heard in a while and she’s done it justice.

The song features the Memphis-born and raised Justin Timberlake on background vocals.  The beautifully-shot performance video was directed by frequent collaborator Wayne Isham and helps capture the soulful, vintage essence of the song. The album is available now in stores and on iTunes.  VisitSherylCrow.com to get the latest updates, as well as details on her remaining tour dates.

What do you think of Sheryl singing the song?

Sheryl Crow‘s latest album 100 Miles From Memphis was released this week with rave reviews:  Billboard saying “100 Miles” is a path Crow was certainly wise to tread,” and People Magazine giving the album three stars, stating “she performs with the kind of exquisitely restrained yearning that put giants like Al Green on the map.”

Sheryl recently helped kick off the return of Lilith Fair with a string of dates and will head back out on the road with a new touring band in August to play selections from 100 Miles From Memphis. Visit SherylCrow.com for all her upcoming tour dates and ticket information.
