VARIOUS ARTISTS
Wayfaring Strangers: Lonesome Heroes
2009 U.S. 2xLP pressing

The 3rd volume of Numero’s Wayfaring compilations series; this one focusing on the obscure troubadour side of things.

There are lots of hauntingly beautiful songs on this; Tucker Zimmerman’s “No Love Lost”, David Kauffman’s “Kiss Another Day Goodbye” being the absolute diamonds of the bunch.

Much like the previous collections, these records were mostly privately pressed obscurities and curiosos.
It is full of somber, dark compositions; some of which were penned by people who never played a single professional gig.

Perhaps the most interesting track:

The song “Before” is by a man named Jim Schoenfeld, who was an NHL defensemen for the Buffalo Sabres in the #70s.

He released his album while still a Sabre, and outside of Buffalo, nobody really knew of it until this compilation.
