About the artist: Kate Bush (1958) is a British singer/songwriter, who in 1978 topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut single Wuthering heights. Many hits (singles and albums) followed. She is generally seen as one of the greatest influences on a generation of female pop/rock artists who came after her. Kate Bush currently has seven songs in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time (and one as a part of a duo).
About the song: The fog is a track from the 1989 album The sensual world. A great album in itself (with one of the best covers ever), but coming after the spectacular Hounds of love almost unavoidably a tad disappointing. There were still some impressive highlights such as This woman's work, and especially The fog. This track continues the mood of the previous album's The ninth wave, with interspersed text samples from her father and a truly amazing violin solo by classical music's superstar Nigel Kennedy. Run time 5:06.
