Far From Home was produced by Chris Cubeta and recorded in Poughkeepsie. Here Hobson's honest, revealing lyrics light up "Never Knew Me," in which a melodic, slinky slide line makes for a gorgeous hook. An impressive guitar ride pushes the moody "Dreaming in Blue," while Hobson's emotional delivery digs deep in "Lust," a luxurious, rainy afternoon love fest you can only dream you were part of. Hobson herself is without an ounce of pretense, but the music is deceptively powerful and full of grace and gravity.

Erin Hobson - The Good Stuff
With all the ladies delving into singer/songwriter mode, L.A.'s Erin Hobson may have something special. She has a wonderfully emotive vocal timbre, somewhat reminiscent of Eddie Brickell and also proves to have talents in providing the acoustic guitar vehicle for her words. "Dreaming in Blue" tugs at your emotions as Erin turns the vocal power up a notch, and "Fish in the Sea" shows a more subtle facet to her vocal intensity. "Lust" has a more innocent appeal rather then a sultry approach as the title may suggest. Passionate and ear catching music.
