17 track album with troubadour folk from the 70s and into the early 80s collected from rare privately issued records and the third set in the Wayfaring Strangers series from the Numero Group.

Lonesome Heroes is the male companion set to the equally excellent Ladies Of The Canyon compilation.
Eerily melodic vocal & guitar tunes, almost all of them by singer/songwriters who have remained largely unknown to this day. The melodies and chords are mostly on the tender, delicate side, and the voices range from gruff storytelling to sweeter singing. Wonderful stuff, beautifully packaged with great notes on the songs and artists.
