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."
