Although Yearwood is mainly known for her pop-styled ballads, “Wrong Side of Memphis” is one of the few songs she has released that is considered up-tempo and twangy.The music video for “Wrong Side of Memphis” was released following the single’s release and debuted on CMT in 1992.

In the mid-nineties, Yearwood and her band heavily re-arranged the song to create a more soulful, bluesy feel. This revised version has now become a staple at Yearwood’s concerts.
