Lonesome Traveler (album)

Lonesome Traveler is an album by pianist Ray Bryant recorded and released by Cadet Records in 1966.

Reception
Flophouse magazine stated: "Lonesome Traveler is one of pianist Ray Bryant’s grittiest recordings and his second album on Cadet – the subsidiary of Chicago blues and r&b label Chess. ...By 1966, Bryant, a pianist with a lot of gospel and blues feeling and an uncommonly firm, propulsive left hand had a satisfactory decade to look back upon".
