Overview
Back Home Again is the last of Rogers' albums with Reprise Records and is the beginning of his movement between various labels, including his own label, Dreamcatcher Records, in the years to come.
Of the Reprise albums, this had the worst chart showing. It only reached number 42 on the U.S. Country charts and is Rogers' second consecutive album not to attain any certifications from the RIAA.
Rogers left Reprise after this record's run, though he did remain with the parent company WEA at their Giant Records division.
