I love Luck and Strange! It's kinda crazy that this is only David's fifth solo record. Romany has a great voice indeed, I hope she'll be on David's next record as well.
I’m not a great Pink Floyd fan, although I do have DSOTM. This is the first David Gilmour I own and I love it, the whole listening process is so enjoyable. I also enjoyed your review and with regard to the bass, I’m thankful it stayed in the background as there is nothing more annoying than drums and bass guitar trying to outdo each other. I’ve subscribed and looking forward to your next outing 👍
In this case you may be right. However it still was a joy to listen to. I wasn't aware of any bonus tracks. I'll have to check that out via a stream. Thanks for watching!
Really like Gilmore, great emotion packed guitarist, but this album is the worst ever. I have a number of his solo albums but I wouldn’t buy this one. For me, it seems certain songs are put on it as pure ‘fillers’, there is nothing outstanding on it. Bit of a shame because he is so good. But that’s life, can’t be great every time!
@ thanks. Actually I’ve continued to listen to this album and I have to say my initial thoughts are starting to change. Between two points is a great song, his daughter has a great voice. There are other bits of music that are also very good. Still find a lot of the lyrics are full of cliches and slightly pretentious. He should use someone else to write lyrics, but he’s obviously totally attached to his wife, so good for him. It’s getting better all the time, he should get his daughter to sing even more. I have ghosts almost sounds like a Leonard Cohen song, again brilliant with his daughter.
Great review, Mark. I've been holding off, but I need to check it out now 🍺
Thanks for watching and the kind words!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate it!
I am curious, did the song "The Piper's Call" have any reference to Pink Floyd's first album "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn"?
@@rayb8572 I don't believe so. I think I recall an interview that Gilmour said it had no relation. Thanks for watching.
Might have been better off just getting the CD for the extra bonus tracks. Not all vinyl is the way to go.........sacrilege I know.

Mixed feelings about this album. It has some great songs and some not so great ones. It's not David's best solo work IMHO. (It's On an island for me)
Thanks for watching!
He should retire with some grace.
