New York Is My Home

Dion

A weathered, soulful love letter to the city and the blues. Dion's iconic voice remains vital, trading street-corner swagger for late-night reflection.

A dignified and soulful reflection on roots, aging, and the enduring power of the blues.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hushed, reverent vocal interplay between Dion and Paul Simon on the title track.
The gritty, distorted guitar riff that kicks off the defiant I'm All Rocked Up.
The way the organ swells during the bridge of The Apollo King, evoking a gospel-tinged street corner.
