Taking It Home is a studio album by the zydeco musician Buckwheat Zydeco, released in 1988.

Zydeco supported the album with a North American tour.

The title was also used for a 1990 video release of a Buckwheat Zydeco show recorded in London.

The album peaked at No. 104 on the Billboard 200.

The album was produced by Ted Fox. It was recorded with Buckwheat Zydeco's eight-member band, Ils Sont Partis.

Eric Clapton contributed a guitar solo to the cover of "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad".

The St. Petersburg Times wrote that Buckwheat "mixed vibrant, up-to-the-minute sound quality and full production with the kinetic rootsiness of straight-up zydeco."

The San Francisco Chronicle praised Buckwheat's decision to give "Clapton a chance to outdo his old solo on a romping, rollicking

'Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad'."
