Home Sweet Home Records is a record label, based in Dallas, Texas.
Home Sweet Home was founded in 1981, in Nashville, Tennessee, by songwriter Chris Christian. Since its introduction into the music industry, the label has released over eighty projects, including many number one records - including over 30 “Top ten” singles nationally.
In the 1980s, Home Sweet Home held a prominent position in the Contemporary Christian music market; releasing albums by such artists as Dan Peek, B.J. Thomas, White Heart and others. Perhaps its most well known artist would turn out to be Mark Heard, who released five albums with the label in the early 1980s. After Heard's untimely demise in 1992, there was an attempt by his own label, Fingerprint Records, to acquire the mastertapes of the albums he released on Home Sweet Home Records. For reasons undisclosed, this acquisition never occurred and it took almost a decade for these albums to see the light of day.
