AFoR Advent: Lucky Soul
Lucky Soul are a band that everyone else has always seemed to love more than I do. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly enjoy them and their songs are always fun. Something doesn’t quite sit right with me though. Maybe it’s just that I’m not a big fan of this end of the 60s sound in general. They are certainly good at what they do, and put on one hell of a live set, but they aren’t quite enough for me to rush out to get an album or anything.
Lonely This Christmas will do little to change that. The song actually dates back a few years, but this is a version that’s about a minute and a half shorter as it’s rather less meandering than in it’s original form. It sways along pleasantly, with Ali Howard’s sugary vocals leading things onwards ably enough. It all feels just a little too slight though, much like the majority of the band’s recorded catalogue.
