Loving singing but dreading performing, Tracey Thorn, reluctant but successful singer with "Everything But The Girl", meditates on her craft. Along the way she chats to fellow performers, muses on accents, stage-fright, sirens, the 'distinctive voice' and the universal human urge to open our lungs and burst forth into song. Full of anecdotes and insights Tracey has produced a conversational, thoughtful and revealing book that would deserve a place in any library of modern music.
