Safe at Home is a 1968 album by country rock group the International Submarine Band, led by the then-unknown 21-year-old Gram Parsons. The group's only album release, Safe at Home featured four of Parsons' original compositions rounded out by six covers of classic country and rock and roll songs made famous by the likes of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, and Hank Snow.[3] Described as "hippie and hillbilly in equal measure",[3] the album helped to forge the burgeoning country rock movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
