Home is the twenty-sixth solo studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. It was released on August 11, 1975, by MCA Records.
Critical reception In the issue dated August 23, 1975, Billboard published a review that said, "If it's Loretta, it's got to be great, and this is no exception. It seems that, with every session, she discovers there are more things she can do with her versatility, and she proceeds to do them. She sings a great number of tunes already done by others, but simply shows that she can hold her own in the competition. Greatness with Loretta is more than an implication." The review noted "You Take Me to Heaven Every Night", "No Place Else to Go", and "Bring Some of It Home" as the best cuts on the album, with a note to record dealers that said, "On the cover is a country girl; on the back cover is a mansion. Both belong to Loretta."
Commercial performance The album peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. The album's single, "Home", peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
Recording Recording sessions for the album took place on June 10, June 11 and June 20, 1975, at Bradley's Barn studio in Mount Juliet, Tennessee.

"Bring Some of It Home" was recorded on March 5, 1974, during a session for 1974's They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy.
