When I sit down with musicians and engineers for content for our Songs That Changed Music Episodes such as, Running Up That Hill, I am often there for HOURS. I hear so many wonderful stories that I just eat up.
Here’s another interview with the incredible drummer, Stuart Elliott that worked on Hounds Of Love and many more incredible artists and releases. it is filled to the brim with knowledge and how the timeless sound captures during the Hounds Of Love Sessions and changes in youth trends in the US have created the firestorm sensation of Kate Bush today.
“Stuart worked extensively with Kate Bush (all albums) from “The Kick Inside” which featured the No 1 single “Wuthering Heights” which is also one of the top 100 hits of the decade (70s) and numerous top ten singles (Running Up that Hill, Babooshka, Breathing) and albums up to and including her highly acclaimed album “Aerial”
Stuart was the drummer with The Alan Parsons Project (about 10 albums) from “Pyramid” onwards. In the 1990s, Stuart was instrumental in bringing the music of the Project to live audiences for the first time and made key musical and songwriting contributions to all of the band’s albums released under the name Alan Parsons. He toured extensively from 1994 to 2000 as the Alan Parsons Live Project where the band covered the US, South America, Japan and most of Europe some 6 or 7 times during the period.”
