Lucky Soul



I think that we shall stick with retro 60s grooves that would have appealed to the 3 button suit and bowling shoe wearing end of the scooter riding fraternity.

Lucky Soul are a band from South London who first came to my attention when their first single, My Brittle Heart was made single of the week in the Guardian.  I sought out their myspace page listened to the track, purchased the single and have bought everything ever since, except the new album which was released a couple of months ago now, only due to the fact that I haven't got round to it yet. The tracks that I have heard, Woah Billy and White Russian Doll are as good as anything on the first album, The Great Unwanted, with the exception of the track posted here which I think is absolutely stunning but not typical of the rest of the album which is rather more upbeat.

If the band were about back in the day I can imagine the album sitting next to the Makin' Time albums in Dave The Mod's record collection.

Good track, and now that you mentioned it I quite fancy some bowling shoes...

I got the new album for my birthday (am listening to it even as I type actually) and it really is a corker. Definitely one of the best British bands around this lot.
