Dave Stewart prefers to work with others. He may want to control the outcome, but he’s most comfortable collaborating. He did it—to great success—as half of Eurythmics, and he struggled a bit as part of SuperHeavy. The solo release Lucky Numbers is the result of him living in Nashville. Martina McBride adds her vocal touch to the mainstream pop-rock track “Every Single Night,” while Karen Elson (the other former Mrs. Jack White) pulls off a worthy duet on the piano ballad “Nashville Snow.” Aussie singer/songwriter Vanessa Amorosi joins The Ringmaster’s Choir on the nasty modern blues-rock of “Drugs Taught Me a Lesson” and the lonely-at-the-top piano weeper “What Is Wrong with Me?” and contributes without the Choir on the wry, jumpy “How to Ruin a Romance.” Amorosi plays a strong foil to Stewart’s veteran-rocker status (he sounds like Nick Lowe in spots). On his own, Stewart is as eclectic as ever, turning up the volume for the bluesy “Satellite” and the roots-rock “Why Can’t We Be Friends." He settles into MOR for the countryish “Never Met a Woman Like You.”
