Headin' Home (Jimmy Owens Album)
''Headin' Home'' is an album by trumpeter Jimmy Owens (musician), Jimmy Owens recorded and released by the A&M Records, A&M/Horizon Records, Horizon label in 1978.Eyries, P., Edwards, D. & Callahan, MA&M Album Discography, Part 26: A&M Horizon Jazz Series accessed December 4, 2019 Reception In his review on Allmusic, Richard S. Ginell notes "''Headin' Home'' goes even further down the road of commercial viability than its predecessor on Horizon, as Owens tries once again to sell some records. Most of the tracks are up-tempo workouts unapologetically aimed for the dancefloor, with rather mellifluous trumpet or flügelhorn lines cresting the waves of wah-wah guitars and semi-funky drumming. Which is not a bad thing in itself, given decent, memorable material -- which this LP mostly lacks".
