Kate Bush
Red Shoes CD (1993)
Lenny Henry songs
 $6.05 
Recorded at Abbey Road Studios Number One, London, England. The album is a continuation of Bush's multi-layered and multiple musical pursuits and interests. Opening song "Rubberband Girl" is actually one of her strongest singles in years, a big and punchy song served well with a horn section, though slightly let down by the stiff percussion. Personnel: Kate Bush (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards, Fender Rhodes, bass); Prince (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass); Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Danny McIntosh (guitar); Paddy Bush (mandola, valiha, singing bowls, musical bow, fujare, whistles, background vocals); Nigel Kennedy (violin, viola); Justin Vali (valiha, kaboosy, background vocals); Nigel Hitchcock (tenor & baritone saxophones); Paul Spong (trumpet); Neil Sidwell (trombone); Steve Sidwell (trumpet, flugelhorn); Gaumont D'Olivera (bass, drums, percussion, programming); John Giblin (bass); Stuart Elliot (drums, percussion); Charlie Morgan (percussion); Lenny Henry, Collin Lloyd-Tucker (background vocals); Trio Bulgarka, Gary Brooker. The guest performer list is worthy of note alone, ranging from Procol Harum keyboardist Gary Brooker and Eric Clapton to Prince, but this is very much a Kate Bush album straight up as opposed to a collaborative work like, say, Santana's Supernatural. If not her strongest work -- a number of songs sound okay without being particularly stellar, especially given Bush's past heights -- Red Shoes is still an enjoyable listen with a number of diversions.
