Homegrown is the fifth and final studio album by New Zealand reggae band Herbs. This album is notable for including the production assistance and playing of Joe Walsh, a former member of the Eagles, when he visited New Zealand in 1988. He performed with Herbs for a time before producing the album. Although the union lasted less than a year, Walsh credited the band with inspiring him to pursue sobriety.
