Come to Where I'm From is the second studio album by Joseph Arthur released by Real World Records on April 11, 2000. The album was co-produced by T-Bone Burnett, and features the singles "Chemical" and "In the Sun."
“ | I wanted to get the songs down in a way that was true to them and true to myself. I really wanted them to have humanity in them. I wanted an element of a gamble in it. I think too much music sounds too contained. I wanted it to sound like it could go out of control at any minute. I didn't want it produced to death. – Joseph Arthur[1] | ” |
Real World Records reissued the album in July 2012, as a part of their Real World Gold series.[2]

- "In the Sun" (Early Version) – 5:24
- "Exhausted" (Early Version) – 4:03
