"The Land of Heroes" is a Jorma Kaukonen studio album recorded and released in 1995. It was his first new solo album since the mid 1980s. This was the first Kaukonen solo album since "Barbeque King" to not rely on Kaukonen's acoustic guitar. The album incorporated the work of several other musicians, including Michael Falzarano, who had joined Hot Tuna and produced remastered versions of Kaukonen's older Relix Records vinyl releases. Falzarano also produced the new album, and co-wrote some tracks.
