Cloudbusting -- Kate
Bush In Her Own Words
The HandSome Cabin Boy
[Discussing the original on which kate's cover was based:]
this next one is by a pair we've heard before, so obviously a. L.
burt lloyd and ewan maccoll were real
favourites in your home.
- Yes, they were. I think for me they really sum up a lot about
traditional music. As you've told them a mine of information about Ewan
MacColl, I can't really say about him, but I think they do represent a lot -
and especially, Lloyd's voice. And the next song we're playing...For me it is
an absolutely classic story - the fact that they can fit in such a beautiful
story, as well as such a beautiful tune. (1980, BBC)
