Interviewed in Record Mirror, May 10, p. 27, Peter Gabriel was asked about Kate's work on his album, So. Here is the relevant passage, written by Mike Gardner: "Don't Give Up" -- probably a future single and a duet with Kate Bush -- is a look at relationships under the stresses and strains of unemployment. The song features allusions to the American dustbowl and has gospel and country influences. In fact, a country singer {NME alleges Dolly Parton} was first mooted for the female vocal until he {Gabriel} again picked Bush -- a collaborator on "Games Without Frontiers" and "No Self Control" on his third album. "Kate did a great job. I'm a great fan of her singing and her voice. I think she sang on that track very differently to how she sings on her own records -- in a very sensitive way. There are similarities in the way we work. She works as slowly as I do -- with is reassuring."
