British singer, songwriter, dancer, musician, record producer Kate Bush from England is one of those artists who can disappear between albums for 15 years and have the record companies run after her when she decides to do whatever she wants. Listen to her three-disc live "Before the Dawn", a 22-day concert performance where tickets sold out in 15 minutes. Remarkably, these live performances are even better than the studio recordings. Kate's songwriting often employs historical and literary references, ranging from Wuthering Heights to nuclear war fallout, strange scientific inventions, having a relationship with a computer (she may have been the first songwriter to broach the ramifications of this), infatuation with the really wrong person, and Joan of Arc. She has cited a main influence being comedy, even though her songs have just the slightest hint of danger lurking behind that veil of invisibility as you take a pinch of keyhole and fold yourself up.
