Lucky (Marty Balin album)

Lucky is the second solo album by Marty Balin. It was released in 1983 on EMI America Records. The album reached No. 156 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape 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 Casady's new wave group SVT.
