Album Favorite

"When my eldest was a baby, I'd take her on tour, and this album was an important part of the kit. There'd be a battle after the gigs to get her into the car and I'd be all, "Put Tumble Bee on quick! Put Tumble Bee on before she kicks off!" And then everything would be alright. So I'd like to thank you, Laura, for saving my life a few times [laughs].   This is a really wonderful album for children, well-crafted and beautiful, that doesn't dumb things down. I still listen to it now, quite happily, without the kids. Becky and Niopha have babies now, and we had them on tour with us when they were both about six-months-old. That time in my life is very much done, but it was really lovely. I remember Becky standing backstage, and breathing out, going, ‘Oh my God, I'm in a quiet room with a clean dress on'. I remember that feeling too [laughs]."

I really enjoyed this!

That would explain why I was up until 1:15am this morning just so I could finish it, and why I cried like a baby for probably the last 35% almost non-stop! If I cry, that means I've become emotionally involved and when that happens then I know I loved it.

I loved Kylie's determination to do what she wanted career wise and how she told Trace right from the off that she wouldn't put up with his crap on the tour.

As for Trace, he sort of fluctuated in my affections with his behaviour, one minute I loved him the next I wanted to smack him for what he'd done/said. But by the end he was firmly on the plus side of the scale, though how I managed to read the last half of the book through my tears, I'd never know!

I'm looking forward to reading Girl on Tour, to read more about Kylie and Trace's relationship!
