Come to Where I'm From is the second official studio album by Joseph Arthur released by Real World Records on April 11, 2000. The album was co-produced by T-Bone Burnett, and features the singles "Chemical" and "In the Sun."

“ I wanted to get the songs down in a way that was true to them and true to myself. I really wanted them to have humanity in them. I wanted an element of a gamble in it. I think too much music sounds too contained. I wanted it to sound like it could go out of control at any minute. I didn't want it produced to death. – Joseph Arthur[1] ”

Real World Records reissued the album in July 2012, as a part of their Real World Gold series.[2]

  2. "In the Sun" (Early Version) – 5:24
  3. "Exhausted" (Early Version) – 4:03
  4. "History" – 5:37
  5. "Chemical" – 4:06
  6. "Cocaine Blind" – 3:17
  7. "Freeze You Out" – 4:30

  11. "California" – 4:14
  12. "Otherside" – 3:16
  13. "Invisible Hands" – 5:26

The songs "Cocaine Blind" and "Otherside" (later renamed "The Other Side") appeared as B-sides to the "In the Sun" single. "California," "Freeze You Out," and "In the Distance" have not been released or re-recorded since this promo was issued.
