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". Arthur said, "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."[http://lonelyastronauts.com/song/cometowhereimfrom.html LonelyAstronauts.com – Discography – Come to Where I'm From]
Real World Records reissued the album in July 2012, as a part of their Real World Gold series.{{cite web |title=Real World Records is re-releasing some of Joseph's music |url=http://www.josepharthur.com/2012/?p=1079 |date=6 July 2012 |accessdate=6 July 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120728161333/http://www.josepharthur.com/2012/?p=1079 |archive-date=28 July 2012 |url-status=dead }}
