1983 Marty Balin – Lucky
Lucky is the second solo album by Marty Balin. It was released in 1983 on EMI America Records. The album did not fare as well as his previous one, and only rose to #156 on the Billboard chart. As a subtle tribute to Balin’s friend and former bandmate Jack Casady, he recorded a cover of “Heart Of Stone,” an original written by Brian Marnell from Jack’s new wave group SVT.
