Detours is the sixth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, released on February 5, 2008.

Crow told Billboard in summer 2007 that the song "is very environmentally conscious, in the tradition of Bob Dylan".

[4] The second single culled from the album was "Love Is Free", which, in Crow's own words, was "inspired by [the effect of Hurricane Katrina on] New Orleans.

So far "Love Is Free" has gained much airplay in the United States and has already begun to enter the Billboard charts: the U.S.

Perhaps coincidentally, while the New Orleans-inspired single was distributed and its allusions were noted by Crow during appearances on American television, the album itself was released on the day of the 2008 New Orleans Mardi Gras.
