Queen of the Minor Key is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell. Produced by Jewell and her band, it was released on June 28, 2011 through Signature Sounds. The album received good reviews, with Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter writing "Albums this impressive don’t come along often", and remarking that its "mix of sweet/sultry Southern country, swampy soul, ominous rockabilly and jazz-tinged surf is as intoxicating as it is stylish, delivered with the offhand grace, low-key charm and hazy noir intentions exuded in the finest ‘60s foreign films".
