Homesick is a studio album by Scottish rock band Deacon Blue. Released in May 2001, it was the band's fifth studio album (or the sixth, counting the part-studio, part-compilation Walking Back Home released two years earlier). It includes the single "Everytime You Sleep", which reached No. 64 in the UK Singles Chart. Homesick was Deacon Blue's final album to feature guitarist Graeme Kelling, who died in 2004. A promotional CD was made available to readers of The Daily Telegraph via a voucher appearing in the newspaper two weeks before the album's release date. This contained three tracks from the album ("Silverlake", "This Train Will Take You Anywhere", and "Homesick", the last in an exclusive acoustic mix), and three other tracks ("Away", "Wages Day", and "Dignity").

Track listing

All tracks written by Ricky Ross, except where noted.

2012 reissue

On 29 October 2012, Edsel Records released an expanded edition of the album, containing extra B-sides from the two singles and new lyrics, notes and photos from Ricky Ross. In the notes from Ross, he referred to it as "a record we should perhaps never have made".
