"Steve McQueen" kicks off C'mon, C'mon, Sheryl Crow's fourth album, and went out in 2002 as its second single, a song she wrote and produced with John Shanks. Crow sings, strums acoustic and shakes maracas; Shanks piles on bass, electric guitar, drum machine and samples; Craig Ross adds more electric guitar; Steve Jordan and Shawn Pelton both drum; Lenny Castro plays congas, and Doyle Bramhall II sings backup. Trina Shoemaker recorded it and Jack Joseph Puig mixed it.
It only scraped to 88 on the Hot 100 but caught on in the clubs, reaching 11 on Billboard's Dance Club Play chart, and it won Crow a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, her fourth in that category. Wayne Isham's video has her tearing around in a string of vehicles, restaging scenes from McQueen's films.
