5.0 out of 5 stars Good 'Luck', October 2, 2001

Luck is not something one would normally associate with Twilley, because his has been a career fraught with anything but. For the most part his recordings, as brilliant as most of them are, have been, as he once put it, "tangled in legal spaghetti." Such was the case with this album, originally recorded in 1994. Produced by legendary popmeister Richie Polodor and polished up for release now, "The Luck" is yet another sparkling jewel in Twilley's gem case. It's certainly a passionate-sounding record, brimming with dreamy melodies and Dwight's even dreamier voice, as on songs like "Holdin' On," "Leave Me Alone," "Oh Carrie" and "Suzyanne." These midtempo ballads are easily among his best tunes, striking the right chords, literally, between the earthly and the ethereal. That's not to say that our boy has forgotten how to shake and shimmy, because "The Luck" is packed with upbeat bouncers, such as "Remedies" and, especially, "Gave It All Up for Rock 'n' Roll," a track whose title says it all. After all these years, Twilley's still on fire.

5.0 out of 5 stars TWILLEY STILL RULES THE POWER POP WORLD, March 16, 2002

By

This review is from: Luck (Audio CD)

Dwight Twilley's music from the 1970's combined the melody and power of mid-period Beatles with the attitude and slap-back echo
of Sun era Elvis. It was, to say the least, quite a combination. Twilley seemed to fade away after his '80's hit 'Girls'.
However, after a late night search on the internet, I found out he's still pumping out new music on his own terms. The Luck is a jolt of power pop that confirms that Dwight has not lost his golden touch with a song. The cd sounds great, the band is very good, and Twilley sings better than ever. He is truly one of the most underrated rockers in the last 25 years.
If you have not heard anything from D.Twilley since the "old days" rest assured you will find songs like "THE LUCK", "I WORRY ABOUT YOU" and "FORGET ABOUT IT" among others, to be a blast of fresh air. This is power pop at it's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars a little more "magic", November 7, 2001

If you are a fan of Dwight Twilley, rejoice!! Twilley Don't Mind has alway been on my desert island music list, and now I can add this CD to the list. Harmonies, passion, and superb song writing all add up to a great release. Favorites include the attitude of "Music", the lust of "I Wanna Have You", the driving guitars in "You". If you haven't experienced Twilley this would be a great place to start.
