The Road Home , a live album released in 1995, is the fourteenth album overall by the rock group Heart . It chronicles a club performance in the "unplugged " style in their home city of Seattle . The setlist contains acoustic versions of many of the band's hits including "Dreamboat Annie ", "Alone ", "Barracuda ".
The album was produced by John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin , a band to whom Ann and Nancy Wilson paid tribute with their band the Lovemongers. "He was a prince among men," enthused Ann.[5] The cover photograph shows an old picture of a young Ann and Nancy Wilson with a candle.
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 on DVD in 2003.
