I Won't Go Home 'Til Morning

I Won't Go Home 'Til Morning is the second album recorded by singer-songwriter Sarah McQuaid.^[1]

McQuaid's mother died in January 2004 which led her to revisit the songs they sang together when she was a child, turning to the Southern Appalachian songs and tunes that she grew up with. The album is accordingly dedicated to her mother.

The album features two original songs alongside covers of folk songs of the US.^[2] It was noted as "a touching album from a genuine artist" by Hot Press.^[3]
