Dave Stewart - Lucky Numbers

Gatefold jacket double LP

Esteemed singer, songwriter, and guitarist (and Eurythmics co-founder) Dave Stewart, and his production company, Weapons of Mass Entertainment, is back with a new album Lucky Numbers.

The album's first single "Every Single Night" features a revolutionary short film/music video that was filmed in 4K and mixed in 11.1 surround sound, breaking ground for the art form itself. The album is marked by impeccable songcraft and engaging narrative. Lucky Numbers is the third album in three years for the self-declared Ringmaster General after last year's release of the same name and 2011's The Blackbird Diaries. For Lucky Numbers, Stewart assembled the same team of Nashville's finest that were on the previous two, though instead of working in co-producer/engineer John McBride's Nashville studio, Stewart shifted the recording sessions to a boat in the South Pacific.

Like the previous two albums, Lucky Numbers combines Stewart's '60s British rock sensibilities growing up in the northeast of England with the veteran Nashville country musicians' southern blues. Players on Lucky Numbers include guitarist Tom Bukovac, drummer Chad Cromwell, bassist Michael Rhodes, pianist Mike Rojas, pedal steel guitarist Dan Dugmore joined by multi-instrumentalist Kieran Kiely, who played accordion, flute and, most notably, the Irish bodhrán drum that can be heard in the opening notes of the first single, "Every Single Night." The list of guest stars includes singers Martina McBride ("Every Single Night"), Karen Elson("Nashville Snow"), Aussie pop diva Vanessa Amorosi ("What's Wrong With Me"), Broadway star Laura Michelle Kelly and violinist Ann Marie Calhoun (the soaring cinematic set piece, "You and I") and a gospel choir headed by Lynn Mabry ("Drugs Taught Me a Lesson," "What's Wrong With Me").
