The Lucky Ones was the fourth album released by Canadian singer-songwriter Willie P. Bennett and was his only release in the 1980s. Bennett self-released the album on cassette only in 1985 ("Willie P. Bennett Publishing"). It was re-released by Duke Street Records in 1989 (LP: DSR-31059, CD: DSRD 31059, cassette DSRC 31059). The tracks have since been released in MP3 format through the iTunes Store, making it the only album by Willie P. Bennett available digitally.

The album's title track, "The Lucky Ones", was released as a single, rising 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.

The album includes a re-recording of the title song from Bennett's debut album, Tryin' to Start Out Clean.
