“Kentucky’s Your Home” appeared on “Be Ready Boys,” a 1999 album by Norman Blake and Rich O’Brien. The record traced the westward journey of Appalachian music, mixing old songs with new ones by Blake and O’Brien.
As the title suggests, the song is a reminder of where a person belongs. However far the road may lead, Kentucky remains home — the place that holds the singer’s roots and to which the heart keeps turning back.
Blake, a Tennessee-born guitarist, was long admired as a guardian of old-time and Appalachian music. The version heard here is by Norman Blake and Rich O’Brien.
