House and Home

Posted on 30 April, 2007 by Andrew Brown

For some reason I thought I’d create a playlist of songs which have house or home in the title. Here’s what I came up with from my collection:

  • A House is not a Home – Mavis Staples
  • House Burning Down – Jimi Hendrix
  • House – Babes in Toyland
  • House of Jealous Lovers – The Rapture
  • House of Juju Queen – Janie Jones
  • House of the Rising Sun – Country Gentlemen
  • House Party – Fred Wesley
  • The House that Jack Kerouac Built – The Go Betweens
  • Houses of the Holy – Led Zeppelin
  • Home is Where the Hatred Is – Esther Phillips
  • Home In Your Heart – Solomon Burke
  • A House is not a Home – The Charlatans
  • House is not a Home (Palmdale, CA) – Willard Grant Conspiracy

    Fred Wesley’s House Party is on top of my list of songs that I don’t have but need to get asap.
    I used to have that disc but somehow it disappeared during one of my migrations.

    Does “I’m in the Jailhouse now” by Hank Williams count?

    Just read this and it reminded me that ‘Come on up to the House’ by Tom Waits is incredible. What a way to finish an album. Get it if you haven’t already!

    I’ve never really done Tom Waits. Don’t know why, just slightly too odd I guess. But maybe its time to reassess.
