Tones of Home: The Best of Blind Melon is a compilation from the alternative rock band Blind Melon, released on 27 September 2005. It gathers material from across their career into a single overview, and it counts as the band's fifth album overall.
It also arrived as the third album to appear after the death of lead singer Shannon Hoon, which gives it a particular place in the story. Blind Melon's studio records were the self-titled debut of 1992 and Soup in 1995, and this collection sits well after both. For anyone who knows the band mainly through a single song, it is a handy way into the rest of their catalogue and a reminder of what they did across those two records.
