I'm Tryin' to Get Home is an album by American trumpeter Donald Byrd featuring performances by Byrd with a large brass section and vocalists recorded in 1964 and released on the Blue Note label in 1965 as BLP 4188.[2]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 2 stars and stated "despite some strong moments, the date (which resulted in no real hits) does not quite reach the heights of A New Perspective although it has plenty of interesting moments".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz noted the album's popularity and its being a precursor of Byrd's further success in the following decade, but described it as "dispensable".[4]
