Inspired by one of Bones Owens early guitar rock idols, Jimi Hendrix, ‘Goin’ Back Where I Came From’ is the latest rock-infused single from Owens’ forthcoming genre-bending album, Love Out Of Lemons, which is out July 12th via Black Ranch Records / Thirty Tigers. Pre-order/save here.
The latest single provides listeners with the opportunity to visualise the song’s main character stuck in the city, sick of the hustle and bustle, tired of being anonymous and unwelcomed, ultimately longing for a simpler life back home.
“‘Going Back Where I Came From’ is the tale of a guy who’s reached his wits’ end with city life and longs to return to his rural roots,” Bones told Holler, who premiered the track.

The upcoming album showcases Owens’ raw songwriting while encapsulating the electric essence of his live shows. In conjunction with the album’s announcement, Bones Owens released ‘Get It On’ with People Magazine, who premiered the track and video for the celebratory anthem; revelling in the feeling of finally being able to unwind at the end of a long day.
Recorded at The Smoakstack in Nashville, Love Out Of Lemons dives into topics about love, self-preservation, and new beginnings. It’s a sonically vibrant, multi-layered album, making for an ideal summer soundtrack. Owens’ self-described chameleon-like approach has not only played a pivotal role in his own music, but the ability to collaborate with artists across all genres, having worked with Yelawolf, Mikky Ekko, and Grammy-nominated, Jelly Roll.
The 11-tracks feature co-writes with Henry Brill (Phantogram, Jack Garratt) on ‘Born Again’ and Austin Jenkins (Leon Bridges, White Denim) on ‘Higher Than I Wanna Be’. Drums throughout were played by Julian Dorio (The Whigs, Eagles of Death Metal), with all other instruments handled by Owens and producer Moak.
Owens has just finished his ‘Goin’ Back Where I Came From’ Motorcycle Tour, which saw him make a solo trek around the Midwest on his Harley Davidson to coincide with the forthcoming release of Love Out of Lemons. “I’ll just have a guitar strapped on the back to do some intimate shows and radio spots,” he explained. “As well as checking in on friends and family along the way.”
Tying in with Love Out of Lemons standout ‘Goin’ Back Where I Came From’, the route included Owens’ native Missouri and Harley Davidson’s Milwaukee headquarters. “I think it’s perfect that the record is coming out in the summer,” he concluded before heading out to the night’s soundcheck. “Because it very much feels like a sunny day, drivin’-down-the-road soundtrack to me.”
This September, Owens will be touring the UK supporting the acclaimed American rockers Blackberry Smoke, which concludes with a show at the Eventim Apollo before heading on to Europe.
