Breaking Up Somebody's Home
Composer: Al Jackson / Timothy Matthews

Breaking Up Somebody's Home was played by Jerry Garcia when sitting in with Maria Muldaur during a show on October 12, 1974.

The song was first recorded by Ann Peebles in 1971 and released on an album and a single, which reached #13 in the R&B charts. Co-composer Al Jackson is the drummer on the Ann Peebles recording. Albert King released the song in 1972 on an album and single and this was similarly successful. The song sometimes occurs on recordings as I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home, Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home, and, most often, Breaking Up Somebody's Home.
