GILMOUR DAVID DAVID GILMOUR - LUCK AND STRANGE ...

A unique photo chronicle by Polly Samson of the creation  recording and live performance of
David Gilmour's album Luck and Strange.    Featuring both colour and black-and-white
photography by Polly Samson  this photobook chronicles the making of the fifth studio album by
guitarist and songwriter David Gilmour  released in September 2024  9 years after his previous
album  and the subsequent supporting 21-venue global tour. It became Gilmour's third no. 1
album in the UK charts.  The album features keyboards recorded in 2007 by Pink Floyd
keyboardist Richard Wright who died in 2008. Polly Samson wrote most of the lyrics to the songs
and the couple's children contributed additional vocals  lyrics an instrumentation. Samson's
photographs chart the progression of the creation of the album from conception to recording and
from release to live performance. Intimate behind-the-scenes photos sit alongside poignant 
introspective photos and dramatic stage performances. She comments that the lyrics address the
subjects of mortality and ageing.  The cover of this book - like the cover of the album - was
designed by Anton Corbijn. The book features an interview by rock photographer Jill Furmanovsky
with Pollly Samson  shedding further light on the process of creating the album and providing
insights into Samson's relationship with David and her photography practice. Alan Yentob has
penned a foreword.
