“There are people, places, and things that represent home to us. Home is the place that is most comfortable; it’s warm, known, and where we are most ourselves. Each of the songs on this recording is dedicated to a person that represents that special quality of being home for me. Although these songs and stories are deeply personal, they’re also archetypal; I believe everyone has some experience of home in their life, whether those experiences are ones of comfort, celebration, searching, or leaving. Each person’s experience is unique, but the underlying emotions and values are the same. That’s what these songs are all about; the relationships that show us who we are.”

-Alan Jones

Finally, after more than two years in the making, You Took Me Home has arrived. Recorded in an ancient wood and stone barn in rural Ardèche, France, this special record is unlike anything you’ve heard from Alan’s other projects at the 1905. Much of Alan’s previous work can be described as energetic, hard-hitting and, at times, abstract. In contrast, You Took Me Home is calm, centered, and intimate; it is a pure expression of melody, with the slow tempo ballad as the vehicle. Alan always wanted to write an album consisting exclusively of ballads, and this record is the realization of that goal.
