Secrets of Kate's Success

For anyone with an interest in this most unique of singer/songwriters, "Kate Bush;A Visual Documentary" is an essential reference book.Cann and Mayes have followed a largely chronological path for Kate's musical career, but also go right back to her childhood in East Wickham, covering her schooldays and early musical endeavours. The book details extensively her formative years at EMI, leading to the release of her first album and Kate's growing confidence. Given that she has always remained an elusive figure, it makes good sense for the authors to concentrate on the creative processes Kate goes through in the creation of each album. However, the book is not simply dry reportage, but freely quotes Kate's family, friends and peers, giving the factual information a greater depth.All the albums up to "The Hounds of Love" are covered, as well as reports from video shoots, concerts and personal appearances. The book is rounded out with a series of Kate's personal quotes, giving some interesting insights into her work and then some useful lists, including a discography, videography and Kate " trivia".The book's real strength however, are it's many visual images, ranging from concert photos to video captures to promotional images, all of which serve to demonstrate Kate's undoubted appeal. If a few more colour pictures had been included, four stars would have become five. In all, this excellent package provides an indispensible guide to one of popular music's most talented performers.
