"Everyday Is a Winding Road" was the second single from Sheryl Crow's self-titled 1996 album, and it rolls along with the easy, ragged confidence of a road trip that doesn't care where it ends up. The song was inspired by Paul Hester of Crowded House, and his bandmate Neil Finn sings backing vocals. Crow wrote it with Brian MacLeod and Jeff Trott, produced it herself and plays a pile of the parts, bass, Hammond organ and harmonium included, with Mitchell Froom also on harmonium, Trott and Steve Donnelly on guitar, Michael Urbano on drums and MacLeod on sampler. Tchad Blake mixed.
It reached 11 on the Hot 100, gave her a fourth and final number one in Canada, and earned a Record of the Year nomination at the 1998 Grammys. Billboard and The Guardian both rank it as her second-best song.
