Home Grown is here and it is excellent! It had been delayed for quite a while for many reasons, all the way from copyright delays to cover pictures that were too "country." It was released on July 15 1997. Homegrown is great, it's a slightly more grown up version of BM maybe? Cary's voice sounds more aged and maybe more up close or something, I don't really know but I like it. They also add sound effects like dog barks and crickets that give it a real Mississippian feel. The album in general is a bit darker than Dog Days, excluding songs like Babe or Pretty Please. I'm not going to go into alot of detail about each song because I'm trying to get you to buy the record and form your own opinions about them. However, let me say that Pretty Please and Generic America are the best lyrics yet. Oh yeah, there are a few songs that didn't make the final cut: Mister TV Preacher Man , another one that I don't know the name of, and one that I only heard them play once in Hattiesburg around 1996. At the time Cary was calling it Lemonade. By the way, the one that I don't have a name for I believe contained a line about "I need a little something that'll make me sleep" or something like that. So if anyone has tapes of any of those, please let me know, I'd like to hear them again.
