Heroes Are Hard to Find


Heroes Are Hard to Find is the ninth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 13 September 1974. This is the last album with Bob Welch, who left at the end of 1974, and was replaced by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. It was the first Fleetwood Mac studio album properly recorded in the US as well as the first to enter the top 40 of the Billboard 200 album chart. The title track was edited and issued as a single but it failed to chart.
Without a successful single to support the album, it still managed to peak at number 34 on the Billboard 200 chart, which at the time was the highest Billboard placing for any Fleetwood Mac album. It also reached number 5 on the Billboard FM Action chart.
Bob Welch would re-record “Angel”, “Bermuda Triangle”, and “Silver Heels” for His Fleetwood Mac Years & Beyond. A re-write of “Silver Heels”, titled “Hustler” with explicit lyrics appeared on Bob Welch Looks at Bop.
