LA RECENSIONE

The Pink Floyd brand has now gone down in history, and we have to settle for Gilmour's solo albums, which in the past, in my opinion, hadn't been particularly brilliant. This Luck and Strange is pleasant to listen to, it's very well recorded but it doesn't make me jump out of my seat, and the title track is one of the last recordings from 2007 when Wright was still by his side, who passed away not long after. Produced by Charlie Andrew (Madness, Marika Hackman), who seems to have positively impressed Gilmour by never being intimidated, even managing to introduce collaborators imposed by himself. The result is that we find our musician in territories that differ greatly from his beloved sonic amalgamations; there are dreamy, almost fairytale moments and darker ones that should make us reflect on the lyrics by his wife Polly Samson. Gilmour's voice still holds up well despite being nearly eighty. A round of applause for a good, honest album that has a nostalgic flavor but probably won't go down in history.

Summary by Bot

David Gilmour's 'Luck and Strange' offers a pleasant and well-recorded listening experience, blending dreamy and darker elements. The album features reflective lyrics by Polly Samson and production by Charlie Andrew. While it has a nostalgic feel and showcases Gilmour's enduring voice, it doesn't stand out as a remarkable solo work. Fans receive a solid but modest addition to Gilmour's legacy.

 It’s the best recorded track in all of David Gilmour’s discography, and if it had been included in a Pink Floyd album, it would have become a classic.

 To convey the overall atmosphere of the entire album, I can say it should be listened to in front of a fireplace with eyes closed, sipping a glass of liquor on the rocks.
