The Road Home (Heart album)

The Road Home is a live album released in 1995, the fourteenth album overall by the rock group Heart. It chronicles a club performance in the "unplugged" style given in their home city of Seattle. It was produced by John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, and contains acoustic versions of many of the band's hits including "Alone", "Barracuda", and "Dreamboat Annie". The album reached number eighty-seven on the U.S. Billboard 200.

In 1995 a VHS was released under the same name and with the same cover containing another concert from the same tour. The video was reissued in DVD in 2003.
