Crooked is Kristin Hersh's eighth studio album, produced by Hersh. The album was released in the form of a book containing song lyrics, artwork and a code to download the music digitally.[3]

In 2019, the album was re-released by Fire Records in both vinyl and cd formats, to mark the 10th anniversary of its original release.[4] In these re-editions, the song order has been altered, with "Moan", "Sand" and "Glass" now the first three tracks, and "Mississippi Kite" becoming track #4.
