Home to You

Home to You is the sixth studio album released in 1999 by American country music artist John Michael Montgomery. It includes the singles "Hello L.O.V.E.", "Home to You", "You Are", and "Nothing Catches Jesus By Surprise". "Hello L.O.V.E." reached #15 on the Billboard country charts and the title track peaked at #2. The latter two singles both failed to make Top 40, thus becoming the first singles of Montgomery's career to miss Top 40. This was also the first album of Montgomery's career not to receive an RIAA certification.
