...Somewhere More Familiar is the second studio album by the American alternative rock band Sister Hazel, released in 1997 by Universal Records. Although it only peaked at #47 in the U.S., it has gone platinum selling over a million copies. This album contained a re-recorded and more well known version of "All for You", and is Sister Hazel's biggest hit to date, hitting #11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
