The Lucky Ones was the title of both the fourth and fifth albums released by Canadian singer-songwriter Willie P. Bennett, his only releases in the 1980s. Though the albums share the same title, they are completely different recordings, and mostly of different compositions. The two albums have only three compositions in common: "The Lucky Ones", "Reckless Baby" and "Patience of a Working Man".
Bennett self-released the first Lucky Ones album on cassette only in 1985. This album featured a solo acoustic side co-produced with Paul Trotter, and a second side backed with a band, including guitarist Colin Linden, who co-produced Side B with Danny Greenspoon and Willie.
A substantially different album, produced by Danny Greenspoon and featuring only a few of the same songs but entirely different recordings was released by Duke Street Records in 1989 (LP: DSR-31059, CD: DSRD 31059, cassette DSRC 31059). The tracks from this version have since been released in MP3 format through the iTunes Store, a consequence of Duke Street Records sale to the Universal Music Group, making it the only album by Willie P. Bennett available digitally.
The 1989 single release of "The Lucky Ones", rose to #19 on the Canadian Country Music charts. The song " Goodbye, So Long, Hello", co-written with Russell deCarle was later recorded by deCarle's band Prairie Oyster, who released it as a single. It was subsequently named the 1990 Song of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association. [1]
The 1989 album includes a re-recording of the title song from Bennett's debut album, Tryin' to Start Out Clean.
