A Place to Call Home (album)


A Place to Call Home is the first solo album by Joey Tempest, the vocalist in the Swedish hard rock band Europe. It was released on 20 April 1995 and presented a different sound compared to Europe.
"I needed a change from the Europe sound," Tempest said in an interview, "I wanted to prove myself as a singer/songwriter for sure, but for me it was more of a journey to learn about making music. I went to see a lot of new young artists.. got into stuff like Van Morrison and Bob Dylan."
Europe guitarist John Norum made a guest appearance on the song "Right to Respect".
