Shoulda Been Home is a 2001 album by blues musician Robert Cray consisting of 12 fresh tracks, 7 of them written or co-written by Cray. It was released with Rykodisc Records.

Many long-time Cray fans were happy to see him back to writing lively music, with a unique style that Cray has always been known for. Highlighted by Renew Blues, a 1 minute super strong guitar riff, this album seems to be thought of as one of Cray's best since the 80's.

Cray next released Time Will Tell in 2003.
