High Lonesome is the eighth studio album by The Charlie Daniels Band, released on November 5, 1976.
Many of the tracks pay homage to pulp Western fiction. The album’s title probably refers to the 1962 Western novel by Louis L’Amour. The album is dedicated to L’Amour and James Bama. Daniels concludes his dedication poem, “My sincere appreciation for the hours of honest pleasure you’ve both given me.”
Writing credits on the 1976 vinyl liner notes differ from other sources. That source credits Charlie Daniels for “Billy the Kid,” “Right Now Tennessee Blues,” and “Slow Song.” It credits Tom Crain for “Tennessee” and “The Charlie Daniels Band” for all other tracks. “Tennessee” is dedicated to Mac and Joe Gayden.
