There's a little more electric instrumentation here on On Your Way Home than in her two preceding bluegrassy albums, Mountain Soul and Bluegrass & White Snow, giving the album a more modern (and commercial) flavor, but not to the degree of most current so-called "country" music. It's still very down-homey, but has the popular appeal that Patty Loveless's albums have always had. The best songs are "On Your Way Home," "Born-Again Fool," "Last in a Long Lonesome Line," and "The Grandpa That I Know," which, to me, seem the most "country"-sounding. Other songs that were more commercial were the single hits "I Wanna Believe," and the Rodney Crowell-written "Lovin' All Night."
