Jewel of the South


Jewel of the South is the title of the ninth studio album released by American country music artist Rodney Crowell. Released in 1995, It was his second as well as his last album under the MCA Records label. Like its predecessor, It failed to chart on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Only one track "Please Remember Me" was released as a single where it reached #69 on the Hot Country Songs chart. Tim McGraw would release a successful cover of the song in from his 1999 album A Place in the Sun which hit #1 in both the United States and Canada as well as reaching #10 on The Billboard Hot 100.
During a 2008 interview, Crowell cited the track "Jewel of the South" as "one of the best songs" he has written and is surprised no other artist has covered it.
