Nowhere to Here is the sixth studio album by Blue Rodeo.
A more electric rock album than the band's 1993 outing Five Days in July, the album was not as well received by critics and fans as its predecessor.[3] Despite this, "Side of the Road" and "Better Off As We Are" were notable singles.
Sarah McLachlan appears as a guest vocalist on "Save Myself", "Girl in Green", and "Brown-Eyed Dog".[4]
Some copies came with a 15-track second CD called
- From There to Here: Best Of
