Sheryl Crow "FEELS LIKE HOME"

[eddiejinnj]

hi all: just saw Sheryl on live with Kelly and saw that her newest album is called "Feels like Home." Has she made reference that Linda was the inspiration for the title of the album? Looked up the album and the song of the same title is not on the album. any input? eddiejinnj

I wondered the same thing about Crow's album title, FEELS LIKE HOME. Then again, I wondered too about Norah Jones titling her sophomore release FEELS LIKE HOME as well. On Jones album titled FEELS LIKE HOME, Norah did a song with Dolly Parton, add to that fact that on Linda's FEELS LIKE HOME Ronstadt had removed Parton's vocals from the recordings she used from the TRIO 2 sessions.

It's probably coincidental, just a shared title as I gather the album is basically a Sheryl-in-Nashville countryish album. We all know Linda and Nashville didn't mesh particularly well but Sheryl apparently had a better go of it. Of course, she's from Missouri, not all that far from Nashville and so she was probably more comfortable there. As for the song "Feels Like Home" not being on the album, as all of the songs were co-written by Sheryl, one wouldn't expect to find her album of all original songs to be given the title of the one song she didn't write, if she had recorded the song. That could've given a false impression that Sheryl didn't think much of her own songs to let one of them be the title of her album. It is somewhat surprising however, that there isn't a song with the title on the album. It seems to be very rare these days for albums not to be titled after one of the songs, so it's kind of nice to see an album to be given a title that's not the title of a song.

I think she just titled it like that as a way of saying that she feels that country is a format that fits her. I have the album and although it can definitely be called country it's stylistically not that far removed from the classic Sheryl Crow sound. I think it's a pretty good album.
