Album Review

Kate Bush's first album, The Kick Inside, released when the singer/songwriter was only 19 years old (but featuring some songs written at 15 and recorded at 16), is her most unabashedly romantic, the sound of an impressionable and highly precocious teenager spreading her wings for the first time. The centerpiece is "Wuthering Heights," which was a hit everywhere except the United States (and propelled the Emily Brontë novel back onto the best-seller lists in England), but there is a lot else here to enjoy: The disturbing "Man with the Child in His Eyes," the catchy rocker "James and the Cold Gun," and "Feel It," an early manifestation of Bush's explorations of sexual experience in song, which would culminate with "Hounds of Love." As those familiar with the latter well know, she would do better work in the future, but this is still a mightily impressive debut.

The Kick Inside

I first saw Kate Bush on Saturday Night Live in 1978. This was a life changing experience for me. I had to know who this person was. I did not catch her name on the broasdcast so I started serching for that sound that enchanted me. I was in a record store a short time later and the They were playing her second release. "Lionheart". I bought it. I had to aquire a taste for it. Then the second was "The Kick Inside". It is a masterpeice. I love every song on this ablum.
I have everything Kate has recorded. All of her albums are are a work of art in their own right.

i have no gift card money.

i want to buy wuthering heights. i don't have any money left on my account. need gift card. SUCH AN AMAZING ARTIST!

They are all great

Once Kate Bush got established it seems people cherry picked her songs. All of these echo the same freshness that inspired the rest of her work. Of all her albums, this is one where I bought the whole lot.

One of the most successful and popular solo female performers to come out of England during the last several decades of the 20th century, Kate Bush was also one of the most unusual, with her keening vocals and unusually literate and complex body of songs.
