Lewis Taylor - Lucky
Review by Matt Seaman
Lucky, the album by Lewis Taylor, is a soulful and introspective piece of work that showcases the artist's unique and powerful voice. The album is a collection of 12 tracks that are rich in melody and emotion, with Taylor's vocals taking center stage in every song.
The album opens with "Lucky," a slow and haunting track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Taylor's voice is raw and powerful, and the lyrics are introspective and reflective. The album then moves into "Bittersweet," a more upbeat track that features Taylor's guitar skills and a catchy chorus.
Throughout the album, Taylor explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. Each song is a journey, with Taylor's voice leading the way. The album is a perfect example of Taylor's unique style, which blends elements of soul, funk, and rock into a cohesive and powerful sound.

Wow, another gem, so good to hear this - just fabulous.
Dang, I love this out-take, hope Lewis don't take this down!

Professional Musicians React sent me here. Just discovered Lewis a couple of months ago. Haunted by this song.
Very interesting music and voice.
So much more Lewis on Youtube suddenly. My wife and I watched Lewis play at Ronnie Scotts one night - we felt so cool standing next to Paul Weller at the bar. The music was incredible... such a fan
What a groove, what a voice .. oozes soul
This song was such a jam. That's also when Bilal came out.
I never knew this video existed! It's too bad these Vevo videos aren't available to watch in the US.
Love to you from Stav and me.
If ever I needed a song... THIS
A genius up there with Brian Wilson and Marvin Gaye with a bit of Ernie Isley thrown in. A pity he wasn't recognised as such.
wow, Thank you for posting!!!! He's a true genius.
This song, always reminds me of seeing sunshine after the storm (especially 2:36 part).

what is happening right now. LT vids??? Did he ok this? I thought he had all his stuff on lockdown. When he first retired you couldn’t find anything...I thought i had it all but i’ve never seen any of this stuff. I’d heard rumours it existed!! Made my day!!
Awww Lewis....still gives me goosebumps every time I hear this ?
25 years on and I've just discovered Lewis Taylor. Shame on me. What a lost talent.
Totally amazing voice and guitar. Just discovered Lewis Taylor on YouTube by going to a Carleen Anderson video. Next to Al Green the most soulful, emotional vocals. Hope he will put out more music.
Man, it's been 25 years since I first heard this, I know every word and lick on that album, and I STILL get shivers!
?. Brilliant. It's made my day. Cheers for posting. ?
Never thought I'd see the video for this in my lifetime! Thank you for posting
O M G ???
