David Gilmour Luck and Strange tour Review

Following its release on 6th September, David Gilmour’s Luck and Strange soon garnered praise for being poignant, well executed,and a family affair. Standout tracks include “Between Two Points (featuring Romany Gilmour)” and the title track. And while the album’s themes of growing older and facing down one’s own mortality were particularly resonant with many reviewers, others felt that its 43-minute length didn’t pack quite enough punch on top of a few instrumental interludes. Overall, it is universally noted for its mature and introspective nature in relation to Gilmour’s work as a solo artist whilst still showcasing the musical style for which he developed his status.
