Review

Despite his status as the godfather of new wave, by the early 1990s Dwight Twilley's career was stymied by a series of label failures and other business setbacks. Teaming with veteran producer-engineer Richie Podolor to record tracks during spare studio time, they cobbled together an album so strong it might pass for a lesser power-popper's greatest-hits collection. The Luck, something of a lost treasure among pop aficionados, has finally surfaced. Legend has it that when one label A&R exec played a work-in-progress cassette in his office, the label chief bolted in and excitedly began singing the music's praises--until he found out it was by a veteran who'd already scored top 20 hits in the previous two decades. But the biz's loss is a pop fan's dream: here is a hook- and harmony-rich collection so effervescent it belies the paradoxical sense of bitter optimism and trends-be-damned ambition that drives its best songs. Twilley still seems at the top of his game here (if as stubbornly out-of-step with fashion as Sincerely was in the mid-'70s) and The Luck takes its rightful place among his strongest albums--and as arguably the greatest power-pop album of the '90s. --Jerry McCulley
