The Road Back Home is a live album by Canadian singer Loreena McKennitt. It was released on March 8, 2024, through Quinlan Road.
The Road Back Home was recorded live in summer 2023 during four festival performances in Ontario, Canada. It sees the singer returning to her Celtic roots. During the performances, McKennitt recalled the feeling when she first "fell in love with Celtic music" in the 1970s and decided to capture these moments, not knowing whether she "would be back this way again".[1] The recordings were joined by local musicians, whom McKennitt had previously worked with for her Under a Winter's Moon (2022) sessions.[2] The album is set to serve as a "homage to simpler times", trying to catch feelings of comfort and homecoming.[3]
