"Home" closes the book on Sheryl Crow's 1996 self-titled album: the last single pulled from it, in 1997, and a folk ballad that turns the volume way down after all the swagger. Crow wrote it, produced it and sang it about a marriage coming apart at the seams, and the hush makes it hurt more.
She plays the Wurlitzer electric piano and the bass herself, with Jeff Trott on guitar and Brian MacLeod on drums, and Tchad Blake's mix leaves the room air in, so every creak feels close. Samuel Bayer shot a black-and-white video for it, and the single was only sold in Europe, though it still made the top 40 in Canada and Britain.
