Home Grown is Joe Dolan's warmly received 2003 covers album, released on EMI Ireland under catalogue number CDHOME1. Recorded with his characteristic rich baritone, the album sees Dolan put his own stamp on twelve well-loved songs spanning Irish ballads, contemporary pop and classic easy listening — a late-career statement that showcased his enduring vocal quality.
The track listing is genuinely strong: Ride On, Have I Told You Lately, Mexico, Stuck in a Moment and This Year's Love sit alongside lesser-heard choices such as Brewing Up a Storm and After All, making it appealing both to lifelong Dolan devotees and to fans discovering him through familiar titles. It is an original Irish pressing, not a reissue.
Ideal for Joe Dolan fans, Irish music collectors, and easy-listening enthusiasts who want this sought-after 2003 release in physical CD format — complete, original, and ready to play.
